Angel Baby ROSIE & THE ORIGINALS (with lyrics)

Details

Description

Lead singer Rosie Hamlin wrote the words to this song originally as a poem to her first boyfriend. But when they finally got a record deal, the label insisted that David Ponce (who was the oldest member of the band) be named as the author of the song. The result was that Rosie did not receive any royalties and this quickly led to the breakup of the band. (She did establish her right to that credit within a year, but the battle for her rightful royalties continued for a whole decade).
