I am a sucker for the single edit, although the “Manifesto“ album version is excellent for that purpose. The single made it to #4 in the UK in 1979. It was also the first song they ever made a video for. Abba also had a song “Angeleyes“ in the charts simultaneously that made it to #3.

For all I know You let your love light Shine on me Oh, Angel eyes You never close Who got the time? I can't wait Until your love light Shine on me Oh, Angel eyes On the wing And open wide No matter now How high the moon shine Down on me Angel, (angel eyes) angel eyes Angel, angel eyes Angel, (angel eyes) angel eyes Songwriters: Bryan Ferry & Andy Mackay Bryan Ferry – lead vocals, keyboards Andy Mackay – oboe, saxophone Phil Manzanera – electric guitar Gary Tibbs – bass guitar Paul Carrack – keyboards Paul Thompson – drums Fiona Hibbert – harp “Angel Eyes“ was the third single taken from Roxy Music's sixth album, Manifesto, after “Trash“ and “Dance Away.“ The album original is rock-driven, but the band recorded a glossy disco version for the single release. The new version peaked at #4 in the UK and was followed by an extended dance remix pressed on 12-inch, an emerging format in 1979. “After a short early career as an album track on our 1978 album Manifesto, 'Angel Eyes' was reborn as a brilliant dance remix anticipating a whole world of music in the '80s and up to the present,“ Mackay recalled to The Mail on Sunday on June 28, 2009. “It became a big hit as a single and in clubs.“ ~ Andy Mackay [American R&B icon Luther Vandross sings uncredited backing vocals on this song. Before breaking out as a solo artist with “Never Too Much“ in 1981, Vandross was a highly sought-after session singer, working with stars like Bette Midler, Chaka Khan, David Bowie, Roberta Flack, and Stevie Wonder.] ~ Songfacts
