HISTORY Black Angel began in Santa Barbara in 1999 with J. C. Martin leading the band, but with the addition of Audrey Turner (previously with the Ike Turner Review and later Mrs. Ike Turner) as a vocalist and Ronnie Turner (only son of both Tina and Ike Turner) on bass. The band was originally called The Prophets and played in major Los Angeles and Santa Barbara clubs such as The Roxy, Jack's Sugar Shack, Luna Park and the Wildcat Lounge. The Prophets released one CD, "The Prophets EP", in 1999. Since then the band has released four full length albums, "13 Stories"; "Real Music for Real People": "O' California"; and "O' Santa Barbara". Since December, 2006, the band has recorded four new albums (O' California, O' Santa Barbara and O' Los Angeles and O' San Francisco).
