What are the most underrated group from the 70s and an underrated singer. Love these guys. Give you the warm fuzzies whenever you hear them. PS I love me some Shawn & Mely Mel
Great song, the band had a couple fairly big hits. His voice is one of the great ones from the 70s and early 80s. The backup singers on this were unstoppable!
Hi Shawn and Mel, beautiful song. I haven't heard that in years I loved it. That was a good description of the time period Mel, 1978-81 were great years for music. People don't often talk about that special sound that came in between the decades. There was a lot of really cool old school music being inspired by the new sounds, yet the new sounds were still rooted in the old school. It was truly the best of both worlds!
81 Had knee surgery Then Back On My Feet Again, Midnight Rendezvous Racing Cars on Westheimer Houston (WHEN HOUSTON WAS EXCELLENT) AWESOME MEMORIES ❤TX
The lead singer, John Waite, was in an 80s group named "Bad English." You should check out "When I See You Smile"... An AMAZING love ballad!!! Love you two ❤
They were such a good band. Jonathan Cain of The Babys ended up in the group Journey along with Neal Schon who was in Santana before he joined Journey.
When Jonathan Cain was with "The Baby's" he wrote the song "Open Arms". The rest of the band didn't think it was right for them. Then when Cain joined Journey they decided to record it and it became a huge hit.
They have a Huge Huge catalog ! This came out the year I graduated high school ! Love the Baby's ! The lead singer is John Waite, you guys have reacted to one of his songs in his solo career after the baby's broke up !
Yes, when this song came on the radio in the car it was freaking awesome! You had to crank the volume. You can't "not" get into this song. Such a cool sound.
I always loved this song, I was 15 then blasting the house with this back then and being told to turn it down by my parents. I always loved it , also their other one called Isn't It Time, they are such classics and should be passed on to future generations and not forgotten. Not many songs move me to the point of getting a tear in my eye but these two do it to me everytime, I'm not in love or remembering a person inparticul, it's purely the songs. .
Hi I am a 61 year old women and in the seventies I fell in love with a song by Shirley Peeples call I can't stand the rain would love to see you reaction of it . I am on a fixed income and gave tight budget but will donate when can if you would play this forgotten gem 😅
Well put. Great song constructing on this album. One of the most underrated albums even with the hits it produced. The background vocals are the Babettes who were Myrna Matthews, Pat Henderson and Marti McCall at that time. I think Myrna Mathews is the lead background vocal. It's not the background singers in the video. Myrna Mathews is Black and has done a lot of work with Steely Dan and many other artists. I think she sings backup on Whitney's I Want To Dance With Somebody.
John Waite has out a documentary called The Hard Way it's been out for a year you can find it for free. You'll find out everything that's happened to him its raw and reall the unvarnished truth about the music business.
This song came out at EXACTLY the same time that me and my ex were dating and my parents wanted me to have nothing to do with him. But their driving to force us apart just pushed us further. I got pregnant and we married a few months later (justice of the peace) and had our 1st daughter. My family came around but only for the sake of their precious granddaughter. Long story short...one more daughter and a narcissist and emotional/verbal abuser later (30 years), I finally divorced him. That was 13 years ago and I have earned the right not to feel guilt or self-hatred. I've been freed. A beautiful, poignant, and very well orchestrated song and I love it so much, just a bit ironic ya know.
Isn’t it time . I’ve been trying to have you play isn’t it time for a while but I no u can’t play it tell we pay to see it o well u will get to there best sing one day maybe
Gotta hear Isn't It Time?!!!
Definitely!
My favorite Baby's song
Killer song! You might also like the Babys' hits "Isn't It Time?" and "Back on My Feet Again."
"Isn't It Time" is a great song ! He really shows his vocal range
This and "Isn't it Time" are my 100% favorites!
YES & YES !!!

I was 18 when this song came out , And we did drive around in our cars blasting this.! The Baby's were one of my favorite bands as a teenager ...
I was 16. : )

Love this song, love this video. Best backup singers ever, blonde girl can belt it out.
One of my favorites from back in the day. The lead singer John Waite was also lead singer for Bad English and had a great solo career. Love you guys!
My favorite song by the Babys.
The Babys really great band Midnight Rendezvous banger. Really awesome reaction Shawn and Mel ✌❤
We agree!
I was born in 1970 I remember listening to that song in the 1980s I loved it
I've seen so few reactions to the Babys. Thanks for doing this.
Not heard this one before! I like it, I like it a lot. ❤ 🎶
Great song, the band had a couple fairly big hits. His voice is one of the great ones from the 70s and early 80s. The backup singers on this were unstoppable!
Oh my! I'm still crushin' on this man!! And this song! Sooo glade you found this! 💗💗💗

81 Had knee surgery Then Back On My Feet Again, Midnight Rendezvous Racing Cars on Westheimer Houston (WHEN HOUSTON WAS EXCELLENT)
AWESOME MEMORIES ❤TX
Seen them in 1979 open for styx Hollywood fl great band.
Yep, came out in the spring of ‘79, my Senior year! John Waite became a huge solo artist in the 80s.
You can hear the 70's and the 80's in this song. I never thought of that and you are so right. That is really an astute observation.
I saw John Waite in concert just a couple months ago. He still sounds great.
Agree..must listen to Isn't it time!... also Midnight Rendezvous is killer!
I love this song!❤
THIS WAS VERY GOOD 70s music my teen years
The Baby's are totally underrated!! John Waite went on solo and had great hits, himself
Such a positive message ! How can you not love this?
Great band! Other great songs by The Babys: Back on My Feet Again, Midnight Rendezvous and Back on My Feet Again
The lead singer, John Waite, was in an 80s group named "Bad English." You should check out "When I See You Smile"... An AMAZING love ballad!!! Love you two ❤

Also their second Bassist Ricky Phillips has been with Styx since 2003...
It's so positive, how could you not be positive!
Nice pick. Haven't heard this song in ages and have never seen the video. Nice reaction.
Wow, thanks for reacting to this! I was like 10 or 11 when this came out.
Love it !!
It's about time that you got to The Babys!
Isn't It Time❤
You guys are cool. Love this song.
Damn I still have this album! In “cassette!” The whole album is great!
Love the Baby's! I was a Jr in high school and listened to the Baby's on the radio to and from school. Drivers license, 16 and a car!!!!
Saw them in concert. Awesome band. John Waite (lead singer) went solo years later & saw him in concert. "Missing You" is an great ballad.
I get the feeling they were hooking up in the band. There is a lot of emotion there.
They have a Huge Huge catalog ! This came out the year I graduated high school ! Love the Baby's ! The lead singer is John Waite, you guys have reacted to one of his songs in his solo career after the baby's broke up !
❤❤❤❤
I wore this cassette OUT!!!!
Midnight Rendezvous is another really good Baby's rocker, besides the other songs mentioned here!
🙂
Midnight Rendezvous is a good one too.
The Babys were an awesome band! Also check out John Waite's work in Bad English and his solo stuff (especially Missin' You)!
i saw them.i was 15 and they opened for rush and we all booed and heckled because it was not hard enogh for us.
Listen to Union Jacks. Great stuff.
And yes I have all the Baby’s albums on Vinyl.
Wow! Thanks for this! Haven't heard it in so long that I had forgotten what a great song it is.
Yes, when this song came on the radio in the car it was freaking awesome! You had to crank the volume. You can't "not" get into this song. Such a cool sound.
I saw them live in 1979. Great show!
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is a great song , isn't it time is even better
I was 10 and this was awesome on the radio in the car.
Check out “Back on my feet again”....Great song!!!
Saw these guys open for Journey in 1981....Amazing show
Cold wet Saturday afternoon in a small bar in a mall in the suburbs of Chicago and this song comes on the jukebox and I get drunk as hell.
Bad Animals - Journey & The Babys
Their second bassist "Ricky Phillips is now in Styx...
Well put. Great song constructing on this album. One of the most underrated albums even with the hits it produced.
The background vocals are the Babettes who were Myrna Matthews, Pat Henderson and Marti McCall at that time. I think Myrna Mathews is the lead background vocal. It's not the background singers in the video. Myrna Mathews is Black and has done a lot of work with Steely Dan and many other artists.

Thank you!!!
Run to Mexico is a banger
Nice you two discovered John Waite. 👏👏👏 I’m not Missing You is a great track. Is a banger by him too…
I saw them in concert 1885 at UC Davis ❤
Wow , they have been around longer than I thought. LOL
React to their Back On My Feet Again!
Oh good for you SandM, you finally got into real music!!
John Waite has out a documentary called The Hard Way it's been out for a year you can find it for free. You'll find out everything that's happened to him its raw and reall the unvarnished truth about the music business.
I love John Waite ❤ solo but this song is amazing.
Journey's Jon Cain was in The Babys

Reactions to a couple of songs by Gary Lewis And The Playboys will be appreciated: This Diamond Ring, Just My Style,...... Thank you so much!
Isn’t It Time I personally think is their best.
Every Babys LP if excellent...didnt get to the level of a Journey but where right up there imo...
Isn’t it time . I’ve been trying to have you play isn’t it time for a while but I no u can’t play it tell we pay to see it o well u will get to there best sing one day maybe
The keyboardist went to Journey
