เนื้อเพลงAngel

"Angel" is the title of a song by reggae artist Shaggy featuring Rayvon. It was the follow-up to Shaggy's U.S. number-one hit "It Wasn't Me". "Angel" reached number one in the U.S. for the week of 31 March 2001 becoming his final top forty song in the US to date.

[edit] Song information

The song uses the bass line from "The Joker" by Steve Miller (1973), and also borrows from "Angel of the Morning," which was written by Chip Taylor and originally recorded by singer Evie Sands but is perhaps best known as sung by country-pop artist Juice Newton (1981).

The music video was directed by Cameron Casey.

The single also reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, as well as number one in Australia, making the song an international chart topper.^[1] The success following the release, saw Shaggy clock up his second U.S. and fourth UK number one hit single. It was also a European success, at one point simultaneously topping the charts in the German-speaking territories of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The song was the 44th best-selling single of the 2000 decade in UK.^[2]

[edit] Cover versions

German singer/band leader Max Raabe and Palast Orchester covered the song in a cabaret/big band style, for his 2001 album, Super Hits 2.

In 2001, the parody song "You Ripped Off Angel (of the Morning)" was released by Adam Posegate and received airplay on the Dr. Demento Show.

R&B artist Bei Maejor did a version of this song sampling the chorus and the beat. It appeared on his mixtape Upsideown2.
