Biography
Shelby Flint, a pop singer, scored major success in 1961 via her recording of "Angel on My Shoulder." West Coast publisher and songwriter Barry De Vorzon signed her as a tunesmith toward the end of the 1950s, guiding her to Cadence where the 1958 single "I Will Love You" failed to connect. Embracing the folk surge, Flint assembled an acoustic trio and later delivered the Top 30-charting "Angel on My Shoulder" on De Vorzon's Valiant label in 1961; the same track surfaced on the debut album from labelmates the Cascades. Flint kept issuing material for Valiant through the mid-'60s, achieving her strongest showing with one of several vocal takes on Vince Guaraldi's "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" (1966). In the '70s she supplied session vocals for projects including Batteau's 1974 release, while De Vorzon focused on television themes such as "Nadia's Theme," a U.S. Top Ten hit in 1976, and "Simon and Simon."
