Gloria Mann - Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine) (1955)

Charted at #18 on Billboard Pop chart in March 1955. Competing version of the hit by the Penguins which charted at #1 R&B. Issued as the B-side of "I Love You, Yes I Do". The Crew-Cuts also had a competing version which charted at #3 Pop and #4 in the UK. Two other versions by Les Baxter and the Bombers (with Pat Laird) and Pat O'Day did not fare as well. Later charting remakes: #57 Billboard Hot 100 for Johnny Tillotson in 1960, #42 Hot 100 (#7 Adult Contemporary) for the Vogues in 1969, #81 R&B by Richard Dimples Fields in 1981 and #21 Hot 100 (#3 R&B) by New Edition in 1986. Written by Curtis Williams, Jesse Belvin & Gaynel Hodge.
