CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1500 CHOICE TRACKS


#284 THERE MUST BE AN ANGEL (PLAYING WITH MY HEART) The Eurythmics
The Eurythmics ascended the charts in 1985 with "There Must Be An Angel". Both members of the duo wrote the hit song which first appeared on their 'Be Yourself Tonight' album. The song was cut in Los Angeles. Dave Stewart also handled production. Along with adding her angelic lead vocal to the track, Annie Lennox performed keyboards. Michael Kamen contributed strings and Stevie Wonder delivered a heavenly harmonica solo. As Lennox is a big fan of the latter, the song is in fact dedicated to him.
Selected as the 2nd single from the LP, "... Angel" reached #1 in the UK, Poland, Norway and Ireland. The disc also peaked in the Top 10 in Australia, Europe, Japan, South Africa and New Zealand. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song climbed to #22.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new instalments are added each day (every 12 hours) with 1 of the remaining 300 songs as well as moving down from #1201 to 1500, with 5 of those songs added daily.
