Shortly before gliding to #1 for four consecutive weeks on Billboard Hot 100 charts, Monica’s “Angel of Mine” belonged to British R&B group , Eternal. Written by Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Rhett Lawrence, the group topped the UK Singles charts and earned Eternal’s Greatest Hits compilation triple platinum-selling status in 1997. Produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Monica’s rendition was released just one year later with equal success, certifying her own sophomore album, Boy Is Mine, platinum in 1999.
