"I'm No Angel" is a rock song written by Tony Colton and Phil Palmer, and first recorded by Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers on his 1982 solo album Right Here and Now.

[citation needed] Gregg Allman began performing "I'm No Angel" live in the mid-1980s[3] and cut the song as a demo in hopes of ending his post-1977 absence from recording.

Michael Caplan, a rookie A&R man at Epic and an admitted "longtime, serious Allman Brothers Band fan" would recall "I found Gregg's four-song demo cassette in my boss's garbage...I listened to [it] and the first song was 'I'm No Angel' which I thought was great.

[4] The track features Allman's gruff vocals in a Bruce Springsteen sound-alike way, New Orleans music-based[5] statement of boasting yet acknowledging of fault-strewn purpose.

[citation needed] Allman's former wife Cher identified with the song, and performed it in the high-profile opening slot of her 1989–1990 Heart of Stone Tour.
