Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"Send Me an Angel" is a power ballad by German heavy metal band Scorpions, released on their 1990 album Crazy World. Along with "Wind of Change", it became the album's signature track, reaching number 44 on Billboard Hot 100 Chart, number 8 on the Mainstream Rock Chart and high chart positions in many European countries.
An orchestral version of the song was recorded for the 2000s orchestral album Moment of Glory that features vocals split with Italian famous singer Zucchero. An acoustic version of the song was also recorded for the 2001's acoustic album Acoustica.
In 1994, the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released the Cross Purposes studio album which contains the same burning angel in the design of the cover that the "Send Me an Angel" single has. Neither band has commented on the matter.
The song was covered by the German pop organist Klaus Wunderlich on one of his last albums, Keys for Lovers, and by electronica group Sleepthief featuring Canadian singer Kristy Thirsk on vocals. The song was featured on an episode of Cold Case ("Who's Your Daddy?").
