Blue Angel was a retro- rockabilly band that featured Cyndi Lauper before her rise to fame as a solo singer. The lineup also included John Turi on keyboard instrument and saxophone, Arthur "Rockin' A" Neilson ( guitar), Lee Brovitz ( bass guitar) and Johnny Morelli ( drums). Lauper and Turi wrote the bulk of their material, and the group also covered pop standards, such as Mann/ Weil's " I'm Gonna Be Strong" (which Lauper covered again in a 1994 album). Blue Angel was briefly popular on the New York club scene.

The Blue Angel (Der Blaue Engel) is a German certification for products and services that have environmentally friendly aspects.

It has been awarded since 1978 by the Jury Umweltzeichen, a group of 13 people from environment and consumer protection groups, industry, unions, trade, media and churches.

Blue Angel is the oldest ecolabel in the world, and it covers some 10,000 products in some 80 product categories.

After the introduction of Germany’s Blue Angel in 1978 as the first worldwide environmental label, other European and non-European countries followed this example and introduced their own national and supra-regional environmental labels. The common goal of these labels is to inform consumers about environmentally friendly products thereby giving global support to product-related environmental protection.

In 1994, some countries cooperated in developing the Global Ecolabelling Network (GEN) - a non-profit interest group composed of ecolabel organisations throughout the world.

The Blue Angel (in Dutch: Blauwe Engel) was the name given to the Plan X class DE-1 diesel railcars formerly used by the Netherlands Railways.

These streamlined single carriage DEMUs were built by Allan of Rotterdam in 1953-54. They were extensively used on the branch lines in Friesland as well as on other non-electrfied secondary routes. They also operated the Maastricht- Liege shuttle. Originally painted blue (hence the nickname), they were later repainted dark red. They were largely replaced by new Wadloper DMUs in the 1980s.

The class DE-2 DMUs were similar, but with two (articulated) carriages. The DE-2s were later refurbished and repainted into yellow NS livery, but the DE-1s retained the dark red livery until withdrawal.

Blue Angel is the debut album by Canadian country music singer-songwriter Patricia Conroy, and was released in 1990 by Warner Music Canada.

Blue Angel is a studio album by English band Strawbs. It was the first Strawbs album in 12 years to contain new material and featured several different line-ups of musicians from past Strawbs eras. Welsh folk-singer Mary Hopkin featured on many tracks, continuing a working partnership established by Dave Cousins and Brian Willoughby on their album The Bridge, from which several of the tracks on this album are drawn.

The track "Blue Angel" is a rearrangement of the track which appears on Dave Cousins' first solo album Two Weeks Last Summer. "Lay Down" is a re-recorded version of the hit single from Bursting at the Seams.

The Blue Angel is a nightclub in Liverpool, England. It is located where Seel Street meets Berry Street in Liverpool City Centre. It is a venue in Liverpool in which the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and many other bands played at in the 1960s. It was historically a jazz club, but it now plays pop music.
