I love his recording of the chilling “Little Angel Child” (with the spoken intro, “I made this one myself.”) Have also seen this song referred to as “What’s the Matter with Papa’s Little Angel Child” and the longest title winner, “I Wonder What’s the Matter with Papa’s Little Angel Child.” No matter what you call it, it kills!
