October 2, 2021 Records of the Day

Originally known as the Starlettes, the Angels had their biggest hit with a song they sang as a demo meant for the Shirelles, but the Angels’ demo sounded so good their version was released and “My Boyfriend’s Back” was a Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in 1963. Lesser hits followed like “Dream Boy,” which with its picture sleeve can sell up to $100.00. The same is true for the album “A Halo for You,” containing the single.  Both the 45 and the album were released by Smash Records.
