MERRILEE RUSH ADMITS SHAGGYS ANGEL IS CLEANER THAN THE ORIGINAL
SEATTLE, Wash. (Wireless Flash) Shaggys hit, Angel, is getting mixed reviews from the woman who sang the original version in 1968. Merrilee Rush, whose version of Angel In The Morning was a Top 10 hit, says she loves the rhythm of Shaggys version but says its the first time an earlier version has been ...raunchier than the rap remake. The 57-year-old Rush says that, back in the 60s, her Angel caused a lot of controversy because it told the story of a woman who, after sleeping with a guy, tells him You dont have to marry me. She says Shaggy has just turned the lyrics into a love song, but she says shed still be happy to sit in with him any time he wants.
