Toby Beau - My Angel Baby (Live in Charlotte, North Carolina 1978) Excellent Audience Recording
Toby Beau is an American band from Texas, formed in the early 1970s and perhaps best known for the 1978 hit single, "My Angel Baby". The band is still in existence today and continues to perform on the club circuit. The band's name was based from one of the last original wooden shrimp boats docked in the Gulf Coast community of Port Isabel, Texas.
Formed in the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas, the original members included guitarists Danny McKenna, Balde Silva, Art Mendoza, bassist Steve Zipper, and drummer Rob Young. After numerous club performances around South Texas, the band moved to San Antonio, Texas, and received a recording contract with RCA Records.[1] This deal also recruited the production talents of Sean Delaney, who at the time was also producing KISS. In addition, guitarist Mendoza was replaced with guitarist and banjoist extraordinaire Ron Rose, who added a country flavor to the band. During the early years, a producer/engineer from Falcon Records heard the group at one of the local clubs and talked with Danny McKenna, Balde Silva, and Art Mendoza about recording a few original songs. After hundreds of hours in the studio, the group went to record at Robin Hood Bryan's studio in Tyler, Texas, so they could get the string players from Dallas to play on a couple of songs. After a few months, a session was booked at the RCA studios in Hollywood, California. Balde and Rennetta Silva (Toby Beau) are currently performing around the world and still work with today with special appearances by son Michael Silva (saxophones, keyboards, vocals).
Other members included Phil Redmond (keyboards, vocals), Michael Flores (lead guitar, vocals), Michael Aguilar (drums), Don Pope (saxophone), Randy Lalane (trumpet), Gil Gonzales (bass), Floyd Simpson (vocals), Steve Williams (keyboards, vocals), Terri Williams (keyboards, vocals), Michael Schuler (trumpet), and James Marsh (keyboards, vocals).
"My Angel Baby"
Upon completion of the self-titled first album, the band moved to New York, and embarked on major tours with artists and bands such as the Doobie Brothers, Bob Seger, and the Steve Miller Band. Popularity of the band gradually rose through these tours, but this skyrocketed when the pop ballad "My Angel Baby" (co-written by Danny McKenna and Balde Silva) scored number 1 on the Easy Listening Chart for one week, and number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album scored major sales, and "My Angel Baby" would eventually achieve gold status, and be granted the "Million-Aire Award" by BMI for over a million radio airplays. There was even a re-release of the album, this time with "My Angel Baby" as the album title, which was added to the cover art.
