"I Can See an Angel" is a song written by Kay Adelman that was first recorded by American country singer Patsy Cline. It was released as a single in 1958 via Decca Records and was produced by Owen Bradley. The song was among several singles Cline released with the Decca label during the late 1950s which did not chart any major music publications.
Patsy Cline had first signed with 4 Star Records and released multiple singles. However, only the song "Walkin' After Midnight" proved to be a hit when it reached number two on the country chart and crossed over to the pop music chart. Following this, Cline recorded a variety of material for the 4 Star label, ranging from traditional pop to rockabilly.[2] 4 Star executives Paul Cohen and Bill McCall still believed she could have another hit if the right song was found. For these reasons, Cline was sent into the recording studio on February 13, 1958 in Nashville, Tennessee. Under the production of Owen Bradley, several songs were recorded that day including the track "I Can See an Angel."[3] The song was composed by Kay Adelman.[4]
