"'Angel'" is a song by American singer Lionel Richie. It was written by Richie, Paul Barry, and Mark Taylor for his sixth studio album 'Renaissance' (2000), while production was helmed by Brian Rawling and Taylor. Island Def Jam released "Angel" as the album's lead single in October 2000. Richie's highest-charting success in years, it reached the top ten in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and on the US 'Billboard' Adult Contemporary chart, while peaking at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart.

Music video



An accompanying music video for "Angel" was filmed by German directors Wolf Gresenz und Bernard Wedig and took ten days to be completed.

Shot in Berlin, including locations such as the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam-Babelsberg and the Berlin Alexanderplatz station, it went into post production after its third day of filming.
