A Religious Influence: a black actress, first mentioned on Street Legal LP cover (billed tellingly as "Queen Bee"), who helped bring Bob over to Christianity, after calling a halt to living with him after her own conversion; subject of "Precious Angel" and focus in "Slow Train". Dylan reportedly bought her an engagement ring in early 1980; later that year he wrote relevant versions of "Groom Still Waiting At the Altar" and "Caribbean Wind."
