abstract	%22Black Angel Blues%22, also known as %22Sweet Black Angel%22 or %22Sweet Little Angel%22, is a blues standard that has been recorded by numerous blues and other artists. The song was first recorded in 1930 by Lucille Bogan, one of the classic female blues singers. Bogan recorded it as a mid-tempo, twelve-bar blues, featuring her vocal with piano accompaniment.In 1934, Tampa Red recorded %22Black Angel Blues%22 for Vocalion Records (no. 2753). The song was performed at a slower tempo and featured prominent slide-guitar lines by Tampa Red. These early songs were released before Billboard or a similar reliable service began tracking such releases, so it is difficult to gauge which version was more popular, although subsequent versions showed Tampa Red's influence. Robert Nighthawk recorded %22Black Angel Blues%22 in 1949 for Aristocrat Records (no. 2301); accompanying Nighthawk on vocal and electric slide guitar were bassist Willie Dixon, and pianist Ernest Lane (the single, with its flip side %22Annie Lee Blues%22, listed the performers as %22The Nighthawks%22). The following year Tampa Red recorded an updated version of the song, substituting a lyric and calling it %22Sweet Little Angel%22 for Victor Records 22-0107); in 1953, Earl Hooker recorded it as %22Sweet Angel%22 (Rockin' 513).In 1956, B.B. King recorded %22Sweet Little Angel%22 (RPM Records 468). According to King, %22I got the idea for 'Sweet Little Angel' from Robert Nighthawk's 'Sweet Black Angel', though I later discovered that the song had been recorded by someone before Nighthawk. At the time 'black' was not a popular word, as it is now. Instead of using the old title, I changed it to 'Sweet Little Angel'—and that was a pretty big record for me%22. King's version, which included a horn section, was a stylistic shift for the song and it became a hit, reaching number eight on the Billboard R&B chart. In 1957, he re-recorded %22Sweet Little Angel%22 for his first album Singin' the Blues. Both versions prominently feature B.B. King's guitar work, with his note-bends %22sounding almost like a lap steel in places.%22After B.B. King's success, many blues and other artists recorded their versions of %22Sweet Little Angel%22. Robert Nighthawk's %22Black Angel Blues%22 was inducted in 2007 into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame %22Classics of Blues Recordings%22 category and B.B. King's %22Sweet Little Angel%22 is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of %22500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll%22.
