This cover version of “Till“ by the Angels came out in 1961 and reached the #14 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group originated from New Jersey as the Starlets and were among the 750 “girl groups“ during the classic rock and roll era. The recording became their first single and hit after they changed their name to The Angels. “Till“ was originally derived from a French song released in 1956 and has been covered many times since then. The group renamed themselves the Halos following a dispute over the ownership of the name “The Angels“, but later changed back to it maintaining a steady string of moderately successful singles. They are also well-know for their session work as background singers for many notable established singers as well. In 2005, the Angels were inducted in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. Their biggest #1 hit was “My Boyfriend's Back“ released in 1963.
