Vince Angelo died this week. Angelo's "The Angels" was one of the early doo-wop groups. Born in Hoboken in 1938 he made his first record in 1956. The A-side was "I Can't Wait (Can You?)." The B-side song was a marriage proposal to his 16 year old girlfriend Theresa Ciccolini. It became a huge teen hit. The chorus: "It'll be so fine/under stars above/when I make you mine/to treasure our love."

It created a stir when fans later learned that "The Angels," supposedly a quartet, was actually Angelo alone, who overdubbed the other parts.

Vince and Theresa married and the marriage lasted until his death. But his music career didn't and he opened a roofing company in New Jersey, from which he retired in 1999.

The couple had two children: Johnny and Lana, named after Johnny Stompanato and Lana Turner. Stompanato had been stabbed to death by Turner's daughter just a week before Vince and Theresa's wedding. The couple considered it a good omen.
