Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine) is an American doo-wop song, originally released by The Penguins in 1954 on the Dootone label (Dootone 348), as the B-side to Hey Señorita.[1] The song was originally recorded as a demo at Ted Brinsons garage studio in South Los Angeles in October 1954, with producer Dootsie Williams.[2] Earth Angel quickly outstripped its A-side in popularity and reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart for three weeks in early 1955 and No. 8 on the pop chart.[3] Covered many times since, the love song would prove to be the only top 40 hit from the group.
