The Penguins Earth Angel Recording details & track overview
"EARTH ANGEL (WILL YOU BE MINE)"{1}
Lyrics by: Jesse Belvin & Curtis "Fitz" Williams{2}
Music by: Baynel Hodge.
Performed by: The Penguins{3a}{3b}{3c}
First released:{4}
Single: 1955 [Length: 2:46]
Album: 1957 [Length: 2:57]{5}
{1}The Penguins version of "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine) peaked at #8 on
the Hot 100. However it went to #1 on the R&B charts for 3 weeks running.

* Curtis "Fitz" Williams (Bass/baritone.)
* Cleveland Duncan (1st tenor.)
* Dexter Tisby (2n.....MORE.....(all Earth Angel track/recording details) ←
The Penguins biography
The Penguins were an American doo-wop group active in the 1950s and early 1960s. They are best remembered for their only Top 40 hit, "Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)," which was one of the first Rhythm & Blues hits to cross over to the pop charts.
The Penguins were one of a number groups of the period named after birds (such as The Orioles,{1} The Flamingos{2} and The Crows{3}). Bruce Tate (the baritone in the group), smoked Kool cigarettes, which, at the time, had "Willie the Penguin" as its cartoon advertising character. They considered themselves "cool," and accordingly decided to call themselves "The Penguins."
Curtis Williams and Duncan Duncan were former classmates at Fremont High School in Los Angeles, California, and Williams had become a member of the group, The Hollywood Flames. In late 1953, Williams & Duncan decided to form a new vocal group, and added Dexter Tisby and Bruce Tate.
