Blue Angel (Blue Angel album)
1980 studio album by Blue Angel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blue Angel is the self-titled lone album by the American band Blue Angel released in 1980. The band was formed by Cyndi Lauper on vocals, John Turi on keyboards and saxophone, Arthur "Rockin' A" Neilson on guitar, Lee Brovitz on bass and Johnny Morelli on drums. The band was fairly short-lived and the album was not a major success until after Lauper's solo career exploded.
