    "Angel Baby" is a 1960 single by Rosie and the Originals. The group recorded the song independently on a two-track machine, located in a facility in the small farming community of San Marcos, California. At the time, lead singer Rosie Hamlin was only 15 years old. She had written the lyrics for "Angel Baby" as a poem for "[her] very first boyfriend" when she was a 14-year-old student at Mission Bay High School in San Diego, California.

    Initially unable to find a label willing to distribute the song because of its unpolished sound, the group convinced a San Diego department store to pipe their master through the listening booths in the record department. The response from listeners prompted Highland Records to sign the band and promote the single. Since its release the song has become an oldies standard.


    Linda Ronstadt recorded a version for her 1996 album of lullabies, Dedicated to the One I Love.

    Btw, I am just reading the description of the collab (interesting!), the year that Linda recorded the song was the year I was born. So I was literally a little baby then haha. That's a funny coincidence!
