Any love for the Babys?

Known for their classics Isn't It Time, Every Time I Think Of You, and Back On My Feet Again. Fronted by John Waite. I never hear their songs anymore and haven't for years. Anyone into them then or now?

Goodness a blast from the past. Only song I remember is 'Every time I think of you'. Thanks OP.

"Isn't It Time" was a great song.

I never knew John Waite had a red hairy chest.

Anthology was one of my favorite albums of the 80's. Every song on it is awesome. Head First was probably my favorite.

Love them.

We've had Every Time I Think Of You in store rotation for about a year -weird how heavily featured the uncredited backing vocalist is and I only recently learned her name from Wikipedia - shows how far we've come at acknowledging features on songs. Isn't It Time was equally fine, my personal fave is Midnight Rendezvous, which crapped out at #72 in 1980. My only beef with the band is Jonathan Cain's 400th wife is the vile Rev Paula White, and she is bad news a go-go.

Every Time I Think of You was one of the first singles I ever bought. I would have been about 9 years old.

I think of it and Isn’t it Time as huge hits, but they both peaked at #13.

Those songs really went extra in terms of musical composition and chord progression. Love ‘en!
