Death Of An Angel - Donald Woods & Vel-Aires - Creepy Doowop 45. Looking for a creepy, haunting, weeping, screaming, somber record for your Halloween party? It's all in here on this masterful tale of a man losing his love. This is one of my all time favorite records! I learned it when I was about 14 and I used to play this one 5 times in a row. I was sucked into the story as soon as the haunting sax, somber vocals, the death march drum to the bass voice with his hypnotic "da doom" then the wallowing weep. A weepy masterpiece!

    I love this song my mother used to sing this to me all the time I thought she made the song up until a d.j.played it.

    That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. Did she do the crying part and scream as well?

    All the best,
