"Special Angel" (Download)
This crooner hit was first released by country singer Bobby Helms in 1957. It was re-released in 1963 by uber-crooner Bobby Vinton. Again, the year I was born. Coincidence? I think not! This 1963 version was what I listened to the most as a child and was key to my love affair with the ‘50s boy band sound. My arrangement, recorded by ‘The delBecks!’ captures the ‘50s sound—which were mostly songs from the early ‘60s. And with this, my career as a velvety crooner was launched This is the fifth song on my new album, Vintage A Cappella.
