    The “Angel of Harlem” is Billie Holiday, a jazz singer who moved to Harlem as a teenager in 1928. She became famous for her spectacular voice and her ability to move the audience to tears. She had to deal with racism, drug and alcohol problems, and unhealthy relationships for most of her life. Thus, her deep sadness was often revealed in her singing.
    Billie Holiday was nicknamed “Lady Day”. Hence the line, “Lady Day got diamond eyes, she sees the truth behind the lies.”
    “Angel of Harlem” (1988) is a tribute to the blues, jazz and gospel music U2 heard while touring America.
    The phrase “On BLS I heard the sound… “ refers to New York radio station WBLS, where U2 heard the black music that influenced this track.
    U2 recorded this in 1987 in Memphis, under the helm of producer “Cowboy” Jack Clement.
    In the studio, Bono learned an important lesson : alcohol and horn players do not mix. He recalled : “I thought I would lighten the session up, so I sent out for a case of Absolut Vodka. I was giving it to the horn players and we were all having a little laugh and Cowboy came up to me […]. He said, ‘Bono, how long you been doing this? ‘ I said, ‘Ten years, nearly.’ He said, ‘Ten years and you don’t know not to give the horn section Absolut Vodka? You can give it to anybody else but you can’t give a horn section Absolut.’ I asked, ‘Why, particularly, the horn section?’ Cowboy said, ‘LISTEN, STUPID, you try playing a horn when your lips won’t work.’” 💚🎵💜

      U2 has written music about Irish people being enslaved, by Britain, you might like a song called Pride. It is about MLK Jr. They have written many great songs, and you might like their music if you love history. They are the greatest rock band to come out of Ireland. America was said to have received its 1st slaves from Ireland and Africa, which Britain sent over along with all the convicts from their prisons, who they did not want to take care of. This is not a rebel song! This song is Sunday Bloody Sunday' 💪

      U2 is a band of 4 talented & dedicated man's that really love music!! and they have & put their passion in his songs .
      U2 is a ultra successful & very know Band exactly for theses qualities.
      The secret of U2's success is very simple and actually is not a secret at all, the adjectives passion, sincerity, & dedication are deep ingredients in their more than 4 decades of career, of course they have too another fundamental & essential key to explain his success as a band the talent.
      I think that if every person in the world, forget for just one second the hate or prejudice against U2 as a band & Bono's personal politics interests & opinions, and have the patience to dedicated himself to listen U2 discography + many & many others U2 songs that aren't in their studio albums + watch a great amount of live concerts recorded in DVD's, or even presently one live concert of U2.
      I frankly think that if every person & haters in the world did all these things that i cited above, is practically impossible that they not appreciate and recognize humbled an single of many qualities of this band, Bono's lyrics, vocals & stage presence, U2 songs, compositions, melodies, live performances, albums, courageous > expressible & well succeed reinventions, The Edge geniuses & talent that is so real, big & evident, to the point of him being one of very few guitarrists in the world of music to have conquered an hard achievement that is create an unique and differentiate own sound, & to finish Larry & Adam creatives, rich & fundamental rhythm sections that is perfectly matched.

      🎯 Remember the media's astroturfed backlash against them for having a song on an ipod? 🙄 U2 didn't deserve that manufactured backlash...Bono got the IMF debt forgiven for 3rd world countries for chrissakes.
      The economist Michael Hudson calls the US the loan shark of the world using IMF/World Bank to strip nations of their assets. Long live Bono's debt cancellation jubilee!
      The real jubilee is debt jubilee & land re-distribution.
      The original Summarian bible said: debt forgiveness and land re-distribution ie debt jubilee, Leviticus 25, prior to the Greek translation. Western civilization is the first civilization to eschew this (Michael Hudson).

    間奏のハミングは日本のバンドMr.ChildrenのALIVEの間奏のハミングの元ネタだと思ってる。

    Love the song! Always have. I’m a musician and I absolutely love playing it. I play bass and love the bass line. I also write.
    I’m from North Carolina and I fell in love with a girl from New York I met online.she grew up and lived in Brooklyn before moving to Staten Island. I’m 62 and she is 60.. I’ve learned so much about living in New York. We are getting married and will be living in NC.
    I rewrote the song and made the lyrics about her.
    I LOVE YOU DENISE !

    Written as a tribute to BILLIE HOLIDAY. The song's lyrics refer to many New York City landmarks, such as John F. Kennedy International Airport, WBLS radio, and Harlem. It also references jazz history, such as JOHN COLTRANE and A LOVE SUPREME, the BIRDLAND CLUB, MILES DAVIS, and, yes, BILLIE HOLIDAY ("Lady Day").

    U2 was never underrated :) I started listening to them when I was about years old, when The Joshua Tree was released. The were first movers on how to organize stadium concerts, their ZOO TV Tour was a Columbus Egg. That tour set a new standard for all the concert tours that followed, whether it was Michael Jackson, The Stones, Coldplay .. But U2 peaked many years ago. And thats probably why a lot of people today dont really understand how great they were. But the melodies and their lyrics are forever.

    It's a little bit crazy to think that this song is over 30 years old now, and yet, with this Remaster, it's come alive again... I love this song... always have..!! (as much as I like the out and out rock, when rattle and hum came out, it became my 2nd favourite album (after the tree one... for me, personally, nothing beats that...)..)

My favorite city is so beautiful and truly is the concrete jungle of countless dreams that came true~
