Michael Zara and The Compliments - Angels Of Mercy - Rare Early 60's Doo Wop

How often do you see this 45? Rare one, indeed. I believe this was a Bronx group because I see that Tommy Bogdany wrote this. Tommy was heavily involved with Lou Cincetti of Cousins Records. I would not be at all surprised if this was one of the many groups Lou recorded. I've seen a few instances where he placed his material with other labels before he even released it on one of his own - I Got Fired by The Chesterfields being a prime example.

Love the vocal here! New to my ears, and great as always PJ!

[PJDooWop]

It's a really cool tune.. I picked this up in a collection, and heard it yesterday for the first time.

Top Tune

[PJDooWop]

Agreed

[doowop76]

AWESOME

[MRDOOWOP1]

Daddy-o this is a tune and a half nice one..

[Howieshet]

Extremely good vocally, lead and harmony. You're right about Bogdany wrote songs for many Bronx groups, but lead singer M ichael Zara re minds me from a Brooklyn group. Not 100% sure

[SirBasildeBrush]

Wow! Great new one for me.

That song came out during the Doo Wop revival period of the early 60's, between 1961-1963, as the date is even tagged to the label on that record(dated May 9, 1963).
