Bobby Vinton - My Special Angel (1963)

Released on the 1963 album, "Greatest Hits Of The Golden Groups". Kind of a strange album for this song to be included on since it was a '50's hit for Bobby Helms, not a group. The Vogues evenually had a hit with a remake but that wasn't until years after this album was recorded. So, I guess you could say this album predicted that a group would have a hit with the song years before they did! Bobby re-recorded this song in the '80's and that version seems easier to find than this one.

This is why old people (like me) prefer old music. It brings back memories

of happy times.

I have found some good new songs on Youtube though.  I like You Raise

Me Up, The Rose, Sitting on the Front Porch Swing, Isle of Hope. I guess

some young people might consider these old too.

Thanks for posting.

My grandfather played this song when he danced with my mother at her wedding....he passed in December, 3 minutes after her birthday due to brain cancer.

When I was 10 years old my older sister and I played this song in a piano recital. I played and sang back up to her. We won an award for it and ever since then have been a lover of this particular song although the music from this era was always a staple in my home something I am forever grateful to my father for. I’m only 26 but even for me it brings back fond memories of my childhood. So pure and nice I wish I could have lived back then!!!!

A great version of the song,  but Bobby Helms was the first to bring it to us.
