LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 5, 2020- THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO AEROSMITH RELEASED THE SINGLE ‘ANGEL.’ IT WAS THE SECOND SINGLE FROM THEIR COMEBACK ALBUM ‘PERMANENT VACATION’.PRIOR TO THIS RECORD, THE BAND’S PREVIOUS HIT WAS A REMAKE OF ‘COME TOGETHER’ IN 1978. AFTER YEARS OF DRUG ADDICTION, AND POOR RECORD SALES, THE GROUP WAS CONVINCED BY THEIR RECORD COMPANY TO BRING IN OUTSIDE SONG WRITERS. THE FIRST SONG OFF THE ALBUM WAS ‘DUDE(LOOKS LIKE A LADY)’. WHEN THE BAND RELEASED ‘ANGEL’ IT CEMENTED THE GROUP’S COMEBACK, BECOMING AEROSMITH’S BIGGEST CHARTING SONG TO THAT POINT IN THE GROUP’S CAREER. TAKING YOU BACK TO 1988, HERE’S THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FROM AEROSMITH
