The Babys generated extensive hype upon formation in 1976 as one of mainstream pop/rock's brightest hopes for the future. While competent, their music never broke away from its Raspberries-meets-AOR style and developed its own distinctive sound. The group consisted of vocalist/bassist John Waite, guitarist Wally Stocker, former Spontaneous Combustion and Strider drummer Tony Brock, and keyboardist/guitarist Mike Corby, who was replaced by Jonathan Cain in 1978; bassist Ricky Phillips also joined later on. Overshadowed by the punk and new wave movement in their native U.K., the band concentrated on the American market and did score two Top 20 singles with "Isn't It Time" and "Every Time I Think of You." By 1981, the Babys' future didn't look so bright anymore and the group disbanded, with Stocker joining Air Supply's road band. Waite went solo and finally broke through on the charts in 1984 with the number one smash "Missing You," while Cain joined Journey; the two later reunited in the AOR supergroup Bad English. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
Any band that would name themselves The Babys was guaranteed to be juvenile and mediocre. Thumbs down, they are a bad reminder of 80's music and haircut bands.
This band defined my youth. I've never been so profoundly affected by a song than the first time I heard Isn't It Time on Australian radio. I loved The Babys music like no other. Pure AOR of the absolute highest order.
Every time I think of you, I think of one of my favorite (and, in my opinion, underrated) bands of the 70's and 80's! Also, it makes me think of the Hollywood Palladium, where I saw John Waite and Cheap Trick (my first concert after moving to SoCal)! Thanks for the memories, guys!
I agree with barbara! I saw them in Seattle and they put on an amazing show tight precise sound and good lighting to accent each drum beat and guitar riff, "midnight rendevous" and " back on my feet again" left the crowd energized and screaming for an enchor,which they abliged.Journey didn't like being upstaged by a warm up band.
This discography description of the Babys' career is incomplete. The Babys actually had a huge album in 1980 called Union Jacks, with the top 20 hits "Back on My Feet Again" and "Midnight Rendezvous". (In 1981, the song "Turn & Walk Away" made the top 40 as well.) The Babys toured with Journey in 1981, supporting both those albums...and that is where Steve Perry and the guys from Journey noticed Jonathon Cain's incredible keyboards...offering him a gig with Journey.
