Description
LIMITED EDITION - THE COMPLETE LP + 4 BONUS TRACKS INCLUDING THE HIT 'ANGEL BABY'. Rosalie "Rosie" Hamlin (July 21, 1945 - March 30, 2017) was an American singer and songwriter who was the frontwoman of the group Rosie & The Originals, best known for the 1960 hit 'Angel Baby', which peaked at #5 on the Billboard charts in early 1961when Hamlin was only 15 years old.
Hamlin's 'Angel Baby' was covered by several artists, including John Lennon who named Hamlin as one of his favourite singer/songwriters. She was also the first Latino to be honoured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as the first Latina to appear on Dick Clark's iconic American Band Stand television show.
Presented here is her full-length album for Brunswick Records, 'Lonely Blue Nights', with the addition of four bonus tracks, among them the classic 'Angel Baby; and its flip side, 'Give Me Love'.
