Before Alan O'Day died earlier this year, I received his blessing in recording a Canadian cover of his # 1 Helen Reddy Top 100 Billboard hit. When I told him I wanted to cover his worldwide hit, "Angie Baby," he replied, "James, if you do a cover of "Angie Baby,' up in Canada, I'll take you for dinner the next time you're in LA. Sadly, I never did get the chance to deliver our cover of "Angie Baby" by Wahl Collins (Jeff Wahl and James Collins)
