Another great pick from a big '70s band, John Waite's voice is unmistakable. Their other hits included Every Time I Think Of You, Head First, and Love Don't Prove I'm Right, all gems. 🙂
This song is just set-up to chorus all the way through, and I love it. Is there even a bridge? I find it nearly impossible to not become, in my mind, one of the backup singers and really give it my all. 🔥🔥🔥
***THE BABYS TRIVIA TIME!!*** ....ain't it time!? ...ISN'T it!?? (2:50) - ...oh, THIS BAND!!! ...It's like playing 'connect the dots'! ....The Babys was a UK Band with a VERY 'American' sound; they hit it off right off the bat, with their 1st LP in 1977, but, this tune was the biggie, from their 2nd LP, hitting #13 Pop (in the USA), in 1978.... - ...They started fragmenting in 1979, and lost some members but gained NEW Ones; one of them was Johnathan Cain (who left later on to go to Journey, Steve Perry's Band), and after their 3rd LP, they broke up in 1980....now, the PUZZLE.... ...Johnathan left to go to Journey - John Waite (the lead) went Solo, and had a #1 CLASSIC, with "Missing You" in 1984 (3:21) - Ricky Phillips went on to the Rock Group STYX - ALL 3 Guys got together to create the 1st 'Supergroup', Bad English, in 1988 / 1989, having a #1 Rock / Pop hit with "When I See You Smile"..... ....The Band splinted off into SO many Classic Rock acts, that they became known for THAT, more than their HITS!
@darnell49 🤷♂️ and I usually like a funnel neck, a turtleneck, or just a tall dramatic collar. Maybe if this one wasn't white it wouldn't have that brace look.
Empress, the whole album is great. Not a bad song on it. Put on some good headphones, some free time, your favorite drink, a comfy chair and this album. Start to finish wonderful. Good one as always.
I might have bought the 45 rpm single of this back in the day, but I'm not sure if it was this song or "Every Time I Think of You". The sound definitely goes ABBA when the backing vocals kick in. Elton John, yep, "Philadelphia Freedom" era. Bowie, er, well not so much for me. John Waite does look a bit like Bowie in the clip, but also Rod Stewart and others.
Empress...just those few bars you sang was great!! Please come out with some music! I want to promote you!! Do what my poor sister who foed early...couldnt do.
OH LORD!! STOP PAUSING AND JUST LISTEN!! COMMENT AFTERWARDS!! YOUR FIRST PAUSE WAS AT THE BEST PART WHEN THE DRUMS KICK IN!! SHOW THE ARTISTS RESPECT!! LISTEN!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
DAVID BOWIE INFLUENCE?? ARE YOU OFF YOUR MEDS?? CANNOT STAND YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EVEN BORN WHEN THIS SONG WAS RELEASED TRYING TO TELL US WHAT THE MUSICIANS WERE THINKING WHEN THEY WRITE A SONG!! YOU KNOW NOTHING!! YOU ARE NOT OUT THERE WRITING HIT SONGS LIKE THIS!!
It doesn't sound like David Bowie or Elton John to me. Why do you have to compare to other artists? Also, shout out to both back up singers, not just the black one. Is she even black? Great song, one of many of their hits.

Cool song. This started to sound like a TV theme song in the beginning.
😂😂all the songs I listened to that day sounded like a tv the
I love your reaction! Looking like you really felt it 👍🏻👌🏻
Thank you!! 😁

Takes me back to my young life❤
I LOVE THE BACK GROUND SINGERS IN THIS SONG!

...Johnathan left to go to Journey

Oh wow‼️Now that is a cool story
This song flows so well and the vocals are spot on great harmony as well
I really miss the 70's😥
Love seeing their fabulous 70s style, but was a bit distracted by that backup singer's top...just kept seeing a girl in a neck brace 😂
Not a neck brace 🤣
@darnell49 🤷♂️ and I usually like a funnel neck, a turtleneck, or just a tall dramatic collar. Maybe if this one wasn't white it wouldn't have that brace look.
I wish Empress had reacted to the other video of the song that features 3 black back up singers (they were from Andrae Crouch’s choir).
😂😂💯
It’s a cowl neck style of top that was popular at that time.
6th grade for me. Those first loves. This album was pure genius. Im glad i grew up in this generation. I miss those years.
Damn the babys were on my.play list since the 70s
Empress, the whole album is great. Not a bad song on it.
Put on some good headphones, some free time, your favorite drink, a comfy chair and this album.
Start to finish wonderful.
Good one as always.
John Waite got an incredible voice....you are right Empress it sounds like early Bowie.
😎
I love this song great reaction
Thanks
The back up singers take this song to another level..
This man is a long way better than Bowie 😮😮😮😮
Hard to find music this good anymore

Empress, when is youre music coming out??
😂thanks!!
@@EmpressReacts I asked you a question. Ok, I think I'll stop. I kinda pushed my sister too much and then she didn't do anything and died.
This is the first time I have ever seen anyone compare John Waite to David Bowie. They're totally different artists altogether.
I can tell the man was influenced
Do Midnight Rendezvous
Empress...just those few bars you sang was great!! Please come out with some music! I want to promote you!! Do what my poor sister who foed early...couldnt do.
The girls made the song…..
OH LORD!! STOP PAUSING AND JUST LISTEN!! COMMENT AFTERWARDS!! YOUR FIRST PAUSE WAS AT THE BEST PART WHEN THE DRUMS KICK IN!! SHOW THE ARTISTS RESPECT!! LISTEN!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
😂😂love that you comment. While you’re at it make sure you sub
You think this is good. Have a listen too "Baby It's You" by Promises.
