Pleezbaleevit!, frequently misspelled Pleezbalevit,[1] is the only album by Doggy's Angels, released in 2000 on TVT Records. The album reached No. 7 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart, No. 8 on the Heatseekers chart, and No. 35 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[2]
The single "Baby If You're Ready" was a No. 1 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[3]
The release of the album led to a lawsuit by Columbia Pictures, claiming infringement of the Charlie's Angels franchise.[4] The label responded by withdrawing the cover image and promotional artwork and renaming the band "Tha Angels", but in spite its efforts the group disbanded in 2002 with no further releases.[5]
