"Angela" is a song performed by the Bee Gees from the album E.S.P., released as a single in 1987. It was written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. The demo version appears on The E.S.P. Demos, and there is a promo video for this song. In West Germany, the song reached a chart position of No. 52.[1]

Recording

The song, a midtempo ballad, is performed by Barry Gibb, with a brief chorus and a long winding melody much in Barry's style. In its demo, it features Barry's vocals with Robin also singing a few lines. Its emotional peaks were matched by Barry's own guitar playing, supported by instrumental and vocal work by Maurice and Robin. In the finished version, Barry re-recorded another vocal. Musicians who played on the song consist of Robbie Kondor and Rhett Lawrence on keyboards, Greg Phillinganes on piano, Brian Tench on programming, Nick Moroch on guitar and Will Lee on bass (who also worked with Mariah Carey, Cher and others).[2]
