"My Little Angel" is a song written by ex-Easybeats members Harry Vanda and George Young in 1974 and was recorded by Johnny Cabe, aka stage act William Shakespeare. It was Shakespeare's second big hit in Australia and his first number one, making the number-one spot in Australia for three weeks in early 1975.
After this hit, Shakespeare faded from the Australian charts. The single had a "jingle bell" style backing track, perhaps hoping to capture the Christmas 1974 market, as the single was first released in November of that year.
Famous quotes containing the words angel and/or shakespeare:
“The sun in this month
begets a headache
like an angel slapping you in the face.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
