    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.’” 💚🎵💜

      Mari…all Joshua Tree is a masterpiece…they set the stage for many bands in the “grunge” genre…not a fan of that genre but U2 is one of my favorite bands, and as I am older, it maintained a grown up feel compared to what we listened to during the 80s.

    It's kinda strange how a song can always take you back to a certain random specific time. Like a winter weekend night in 1988. I worked at a restaurant with my buddy Scott in high school, washing dashes. We were always super busy on weekends, the local radio station wwct 105.7 Rock 106 would play the hell out of this song to were it got annoying. While extra busy trying to stay caught up. Scott starts frustratingly singing along to this song playing on the cooks radio. Making me crack up and reply with something like "I feel your pain brother." I completely forgot about that uneventful random moment. But this song always makes it pop back into my head.
    Scott passed away in 2011 at 40 from a sudden heart attack or brain aneurysm. Now everytime I hear this song & think about that moment at work one busy winter night. It leads me to think about all the fun times I had with him....RIP Scott B.

      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.

    This song flashes me straight back to seeing Rattle and Hum in 1988 on my first date ever. I wore out the cassette tape in the fancy new tape deck I got installed in my bitchin' 1985 Ford Escort as a Christmas present a month or 2 later. So weird the random things you remember.

    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 !

      🎯 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).
