Discography
The only album named after the group was released in 1980. In the US, he was not very popular, despite the good reviews of critics. However, in Europe the album became a little more successful. The single I'm Gonna Be Strong hit the Netherlands charts. Maybe He'll Know , another song from the album, was included in 1986 in Cindy's second solo album True Colors .
In 1980, Blue Angel recorded their second album, which never saw the light due to personnel shifts at the Polydor Records record company. Moreover, the new management terminated the contract with the group. The band continued to perform in New York until 1982, when they performed a farewell concert at Studio 54 .
Blue Angel was reissued in 1984 after the success of Cindy She's So Unusual's debut work, as well as in 2005.
