I think I'll be working on my Africa playlist for a while so in the meantime ... Angels!
I'm not sure what inspired me to choose this topic for a playlist as nearly all songs with 'Angel' in the title seem to be horribly mawkish or just banal. Some of the stuff I've got so far is scraping the barrel a bit:
Angel Interceptor – Ash
My Angel (Malaika) – Harry Balafonte and Miriam Makeba
Angel of the Morning – Joya Landis
Earth Angel – The Penguins
Angel – Rod Stewart
Angels – Robbie Williams (I know! But I like it. If anyone knows a version with a better singer I’d be interested.)
Pretty Little Angel Eyes – Curtis Lee
Angel of Harlem – U2
Sweet Black Angel – The Stones
Say Hello To The Angels – Interpol
Blue Angel – Roy Orbison
And here's the link to the current version of the Spotify playlist.
Anybody got any other suggestions (apart from, forget it)?
Eurythmics need not apply.

I went with a different version.

I haven't bothered with Dylan since the early 70s but this isn't too bad.
Hugh wrote:Angel - Massive Attack
Love it!

Saw him live at the Albert Hall in the 80s. He was dreadful.
This is blues.
No-one likes the blues, Mr. Hugh.

Thank you for sending me lots of Angels!
Ha ha ha!
I'm hilarious.
By the way, I love this one and I'd forgotten about it so, thank you.
Bugger off.

You're welcome... I'm a big fan of T-Bone Burnett the musician.
