“Earth Angel” (Vogues) #42 5/17/1969

One of the most enduring doo-wop records of the 50’s was covered here by the Vogues. The original was done by an L.A. group called the Penguins; their name was derived from the mascot for Kool cigarettes. The song was the subject of a bitter, convoluted court case over writing credits. Some things never change.
