Description The Velvet Angels were a spin off from Nolan Strong & The Diablos. Members were Jay Johnson, Willie Hunter, Cy Iverson and Bobby Calhoun. All their recordings seem to have been taken from a variety of practice tapes. On some of the recordings attributed to them. the voice of Nolan Strong can also be heard. "Take A Tip" is on the Velvet Angels LP/CD where it is incorrectly titled "Lola". On the albums writers credits are shown for Bobby Calhoun. The song was actually written by Jay Johnson and features Jay on lead. In 2001, Jay was honored for his work with the Diablos / Velvet Angels at the UGHA Hall Of Fame show. I had the pleasure and privilege of my group doing backup vocals for Jay at that show. For more info on the Velvet Angels check here. www.harmonytrain.com
