Art Laboe Oldies Discography
Born in Klamath Falls Oregon, Rosie grew up in Alaska, and eventually settled in San Diego California. She learned a few basic chords on the piano and had some vocal lessons from her Aunt. She had written a poem about a teenage crush, and she turned it into a song. Rosie and the Originals claim to fame was that song, 'Angel Baby', released in late 1960, and peaked on the Billboard charts at #5 in 1961. Rosie Hamlin, lead vocalist, has told the story of recording their big hit in an airplane hangar in the San Diego area. She recorded some great records in the early 1960's as she attempted to recreate the magic. Her second and final chart record was Lonely Blue Nights on Brunswick. Included on this page are all the Highland, Brunswick, and single Globe 45. Also, the mono and stereo versions of her Brunswick LP, several versions of 'Angel Baby' from other countries, and a couple of radio station promos. A few reissues, a picture disc, related records, too! I also have an interview that was split into three parts as I ran it on consecutive radio shows on KVMR-FM in Nevada City. I cobined them into one, and you can listen to it HERE! It was recorded in the summer of 2003.
