The Babys--Isn't It Time (1977)

     There are certain groups in rock history that are known by their songs, but are not terribly identifiable. The Babys came along at a time when the ground of popular music was undergoing seismic shifts due to the growing popularity of disco and the influence of punk. The group's lineup at it's height, vocalist/bassist John Waite, drummer Tony Brock, keyboardist/guitarist Michael Corby, and guitarist Wally Stocker, all went on (except for Corby) to successful careers elsewhere.

     Listening now, the music had a quality that allowed for it to be very catchy in any era, which I am sure is why their two big hits (and Waite's "Missing You') are still played a great deal on oldies radio....and has aged very well. Even if no one is sure the name of the band...
