Apparently not the same Angels of Glory of Love fame, but a great song...part of the evolution of vocal group harmony to the 60s R&B we love so much.
I was a record collector in the 50s and 60s, mostly R&B, doowop, and Motown. My first two purchased records were 78s in '56...Peggy Sue and Blue Suede Shoes (still got em).
I listened mostly to KDIA in San Francisco/Oakland back in the day. If I liked a new song, I bought it. Hence you may discover some great songs as we go on this journey. Remember, just because it wasn't a hit doesn't mean it wasn't a great song.

No, they arenot the same Angels. This song was written and sung by my uncle,
Sonny Gordon (and his group The Angels) out of Philly. Whoever printed this record changed the name of the group on the recording. Of course my uncle never got paid.
