French trumpeter Jean-Claude Borelly gained widespread fame with his 1975 hit Dolannes Melodie, written by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, who also produced his recording of the song.
The song was a success all over Europe as well as in Japan and South America. Everywhere, it seems, but North America, with the exception of French-speaking Quebec where his recordings received wide exposure.
Borelly churned out dozens of albums of romantic melodies, including Les 16 Oscars de la Musique de Films in 1981. From it, you can listen to and download Angel of Mine. The MP3 is taken from a cassette copy of the album.

Many of Borelly's recordings were released on CD, but none of them appear to be still in print. His page on the website of his former label, Delphine, hasn't been updated since 2002 and the links to buy his albums don't seem to lead anywhere useful.
Borelly does have his own website and it appears to be up to date, but it's entirely in French so it's a bit of a guessing game if you don't speak the language. His site also appears to indicate he has a resonably recent album on the Sony label in France, but I couldn't find a link to buy it.
The site does, however, have a couple of interesting videos, including one of a recent performance. Click on "entrer ici" on the homepage to access them.
In the meantime, here's a video of Borelly's big hit, Dolannes Melodie.
There don't appear to be any legal sites to download Borelly's music, but there are plenty of opportunities to do so from more questionable places.
