I have heard this song for two straight days in a row while driving in my car listening to the Love Station on Sirius Satellite. It's such a smooth tune and I couldn't get it out of my mind so I had to write about it!
I remember hearing “My Angel Baby” when I was a kid at least a million times! Funny thing is I always thought this group was a Tex Mex Chicano band that just happened to sing this song in english. In fact, I had one fact right. It was a band from Texas but they only had two chicano band members and they called themselves Toby Beau. Totally not Chicano. The name is more... well, definitely not Chicano.
These guys formed in the Rio Grande Valley in the early 1970s and released their hit single "My Angel Baby" in 1978. The original members included Danny McKenna, Baldemar Silva, Art Mendoza, Steve Zipper and Rob Young and the song was co-written by Danny McKenna and Baldemar Silva.
A little known fact- The group name "Toby Beau" was the name of one of the last original wooden shrimp boats docked in Port Isabel Texas.
"...Yes you're miiiiiiiiine....Angel Baby.........."
