I've always loved this song! There have been several different versions over the years. I have the Juice Newton version on CD. A lovely cover here by you and your musical companions, my friend!

[@OzzyTunesII]

Yes indeed! I have the Juice Newton version as well. Really nice!! As for our version, well, I wish I could balance a few levels, but very little can be done with how it was recorded. Aside from that, it sure does take me back! Much obliged for you checking it out, and for the compliment, Robert! Peace and Good Health to you and yours!!

This was a killer version. Wonder whatever happened to them? They were excellent.

[@OzzyTunesII]

Cowboy: Thank you for the huge compliment. three out of the five of us are still kicking, but NightWing disbanded in 1983. Thanks again for the lift and the kind words!!👍

[@infinitecowboy3218]

@@OzzyTunesII You're welcome, Ozzie. Jodie's vocal was that of an angel! The tears were coming, her vocals so beautiful and perfect. I am saddened to learn two members of the band have passed. God's grace to them and their families. And God's grace for the rest of the band members and your families. Sure wish I could've seen the band in person. That would've been heaven!

[@OzzyTunesII]

@@infinitecowboy3218 Such an eloquent and heartfelt comment! Thank you once again!! My heart goes out to you and your family! Season's greetings, my friend!

[@OzzyTunesII]

Cowboy, I don't know if you caught this one, but in 1980, when we were forming NightWing and trying to find a female vocalist, I met Judi's brother at a local bar. I mentioned to him what we were looking for, and he took me out to his car and played a cassette of his sister (Judi) playing a song that she had recently written. I had never met her until a few weeks later. This is a rehearsal cut of that song soon after we all began that journey: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKDGaZevnayNn8k

[@infinitecowboy3218]

@@OzzyTunesII Just had a listen. I was looking the other day to see if I could find more songs by Nightwing. And unfortunately, Angel of the Morning was the only song that came up then. Judi had the potential to be a major talent. I would certainly like to be able to find any 45s or albums or even CDs by Nightwing and/or Judi. And also, did you or your brother or Randy or Bob have a go with the lead vocals as well? Judi reminds me of the late Susan Jacks, who was a friend of mine on the internet from about 2006 up until her death in 2021. Susan was another voice of an angel, a female singer who could sing any kind of song, any kind of genre and make it her own. She was best known along with her ex-husband Terry as members of the Poppy Family. I find a lot of great bands on KZbin I never heard of or had forgotten about. And I find myself wishing it was possible to do a little time traveling so I could have heard these bands back in the day. And also makes me wished I'd had a record company and a recording studio so I could've signed some of these bands, including Nightwing. I actually had an idea for a record company and a friend of mine (a musician) encouraged me to go for it. But, that was about the time the technology was changing and a lot was going to involve computer technology, and I wasn't that savvy on computers. And I couldn't go to investors and ask them to invest with what little I knew.

[@forty5Rpm]

So when exactly did they record and release this in '81, because this is Newton's version and she released her song in '81 ?

[@OzzyTunesII]

Merrilee Rush made a hit out of it in 1968 as well. It's beautiful! Thanks for checking it out!!🎸

[@forty5Rpm]

@@OzzyTunesII Yea thanks I know about that, but I now want to know who released this version first in 81 - this band or Newton ?

[@OzzyTunesII]

@@forty5Rpm In all honesty, I cannot remember specifically. "If" Juice released hers early to mid 81, then she might have been our inspiration later that year. However, I know we were trying to find songs for Judi to sing at that time, and it was possibly Merrilee's version that inspired it. Two of my bandmates are still around. I'll try to remember to shake their tree on this and hopefully remember to let you know what happened when! Thanks again!!

[@OzzyTunesII]

Hey, here we go!! I just found your answer: I just dug out the original reel from when we recorded that song. It was dated 08.05.1983! We had broken up in late 1982, but regrouped to record a few tunes in 1983. This recording was on that date, and was "probably" influenced by both ladies by that time! I didn't do my homework correctly, but thank you for placing that question on the table. I've just corrected the date on the video! Thanks again!!!

[@forty5Rpm]

@@OzzyTunesII Could you please. So this is your band ? So did you record albums ? demos ? Sorry, I'm in Canada so I'd like to look into your band.
