Gregg Allman hadn't made a record since 1977 when he started slipping "I'm No Angel" into his live sets in the mid-'80s, then cut a demo of it hoping to get back in the game. It worked: the song became the title track and lead single of the Gregg Allman Band's 1987 album on Epic, with Rodney Mills producing and engineering.

It wasn't his song. Tony Colton and Phil Palmer wrote it, and Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers got there first on his 1982 solo album Right Here and Now. Palmer took the idea from a baby's T-shirt reading "Daddy's No. 1 Angel," folded so he saw only "Daddy's No Angel." Three plain chords and a rueful title suit that worn Allman voice, and nobody saw what came next: heavy album-rock airplay and a No. 1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart.
