Another artist Mann liked to cover was Bob Dylan. They took his song "Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)" to #10 in 1968. "You Angel You" was also written by Dylan, but stalled at #58 in 1979. I thought it deserved better. The band's last chart hit was in 1984 when "Runner" reached #22.

"You Angel You" by Manfred Mann
Manfred Lubowitz was born in South Africa and embarked on his musical career in England after taking the stage name Manfred Mann in the 60s. They scored an early #1 hit right out of the gate in 1964 with the classic, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy." The band would see the top spot of the chart one more time as Manfred Mann's Earth Band in 1976 with song "Blinded By The Light," which was written by Bruce Springsteen.
