Reflecting on the Deep Impact of Alabama’s “Angels Among Us.”

ong Us,” released in 1993 by Alabama from their album “Cheap Seats,” initially debuted as a Christmas single. However, its heartfelt appeal led it to be cherished throughout the year. Randy Owen, the band’s lead singer, shared that the song had profoundly touched fans worldwide, evident from the numerous letters of gratitude they received.

Despite its popularity, the song’s initial chart performance was modest, reaching only No. 51 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It later gained more success, but peaked at No. 22.

The creation of “Angels Among Us” by Don Goodman and Becky Hobbs was inspired by Hobbs’ personal experiences and premonitions, particularly a life-threatening incident. This event profoundly influenced her, leading to the song’s powerful message of hope and angelic presence.

Hobbs’ journey through challenging premonitions and her close brush with danger played a crucial role in shaping the song’s lyrics and its uplifting theme.

Today, “Angels Among Us” stands as a testament to Alabama’s ability to connect with listeners on a deep, emotional level, offering a message of comfort, hope, and spiritual guidance.
