Default Does anybody remember The Babys (classic rock group)

Does anybody remember a classic rock group The Babys which featured John Waite on vocals and pre-Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain?

Why didn't they make it as huge as their contemporaries (Foreigner, Journey, REO Speedwagon)? I think they're a very underrated group.

I like The Babys a lot! My favorite song is "Isn't It Time". Thanks for posting the link to the YouTube video, jacq63!

John Waite had a couple of good solo hits, too.

John Waite and former Journey members Jonathan Cain and Neil Schon formed the nucleus of Bad English.

Nice mopac. The Babys were a great band. The "Anthology" album is in my all time top 10. It's still in my regular rotation. Don't know why they never hit it big. Agreed, very under rated.

Glad to hear you've had a good experience with your first rock concert seeing the Babys perform and that you still have their LP's, I really thought the Babys should've been in the same league as Foreigner, Journey, Styx and REO Speedwagon.

That is a great song, one of my all time favorite songs, one thing about The Babys is that they knew how to write catchy songs with good melodic hooks in them, I just wish they were better known.
