"Angeleyes" (also known as "Angel Eyes") [2] is a pop song written and recorded in 1978 by the Swedish group ABBA, and is featured on their sixth studio album, Voulez-Vous. Released as a double A-side with the title track of the album in July 1979, the lyrics and music were composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.
The single re-recording of the song omits the last verse. Coincidentally, the song was in the UK top 20 at the same time as another song called "Angeleyes" by the Swedish group ABBA. [4] "Angel Eyes" was also the first record for which Roxy Music made a specific music video. [5]
It was the first ABBA album to be mainly recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, and the only ABBA album to include a studio recording made outside Sweden: the instrumental backing track for the title track was partly recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami. Voulez-Vous was first released on CD in 1984.
Including their releases under their former name "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid" or "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Frida", ABBA have released songs for nine studio albums, a Spanish language album, a series of compilations and two live albums. A number of unreleased songs recorded by ABBA have not appeared on any of these releases.
On 23 April 2012 a Deluxe version of The Visitors was released. One of its bonus tracks was a demo medley of "Like an Angel Passing Through My Room" called "From a Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel" put together by Benny Andersson, who feels that the song is one of the best that he and Björn wrote during the ABBA years, but is uncertain whether the final version is the ultimate one.
The title and rhythm of the song made it an obvious choice for inclusion on ABBA's Spanish album, Gracias Por La Música. The lyrics were translated into Spanish by Mary McCluskey and recorded at Polar Music Studio on 3 January 1980. The song was released as a promotional single in Spain.
