When did John Waite first realise his voice was his ticket to the big time ? Talk about a natural gift.

I like their backup singers. They also add greatly to the Baby’s song “Isn’t it Time”

John Waite (lead singer) had a huge solo hit in the 80’s with “Missing You”, plus he was lead singer of the band Bad English in the late 80’s and early 90’s. And keyboard player for the Babys, Johnathan Cain, would go on to be the keyboard player for Journey.

I heard johnathan recommended to change or recommend some songs to produce a different sound for the Babys. Then John Waite recommended that he needed to find another band to play in.

Interesting about John Cain. I saw the Baby's open for Cheap Trick and Journey at a summer festival at the L.A. Coliseum in the late 70's I believe.

This is Okay.. I think Mr. John Waite's "Missing You" is a great song; he states that he is not Missing her, but he is fooling himself.. ☺ ♠ W.G.

Such an underrated band with so much talent John Waites voice is amazing.

The picture of the band @ 3:00 Second from the left is Jonathan Cain, who would shortly after join Journey and go on to the rock and roll hall of fame.

" Isn't it time " is another super track by this vastly underrated group. Many great songs

That is John Waite. He had a pretty good solo career in the mid 80s also. Been awhile since I’ve heard this one. Thanks for the memories young lady. Good job

Criminally underrated band.

The background singer in the striped shirt is Melanie Chartoff, who was in the comedy tv show Fridays, and later was the voice of Didi Pickles in Rugrats.

More Babys: "Isn't It Time" "Head First"

I owned this "cassette" back in high school. Props to the back up singers that did an incredible job!

No Angela! no no no no no . This is not any 60’s throwback! This is pure 1979! The lead singer is John Waite. When the Baby’s’ broke up, John started a solo singing career in the late 80’s, I think. His best known song as a solo artist was “ Missing You”. Much later he joined the band Bad English, and became their lead singer, they had one hit song a power ballad called “When I See You Smile” so beautiful. Will make you cry. 😢😢 Angela, the Baby’s’ had a collection of hits in the 70’s. They can crush. Plus give a listen to “Missing You” & “ When I See You Smile” (in that video John let’s his hair grow out, may be unrecognizable. Until he starts singing. Hehehe. Great Reaction! I’m so happy you liked this track! Have a great day. ❤❤

When I first heard this on the radio, minutes later the brand new 8-track tape was in my player in my 1969 Mustang. Great song on a great album!

John Waite has one of those distinct voices that you can't mistake like Lou Gramm of Foreigner or Steve Perry of Journey 💯🎤🎸🎵🎶

One of the best songs of the '70s and my favorite song of the babys John Waite lead singer was great fantastic

Jonathon Cain is the keyboardist on the Babys. He went on to greater fame with Journey where he co-wrote many of their hits.

Cain would appear on their subsequent album. Studio musician Kevin Kelly played piano on this track.

Wow, that song brought back some memories! Probably been 30+ years since I've heard it.

If you do another Baby's reaction, the song "Isn't it Time" is a must...

I will always remember this one. The Babys opened for Rick Derringer at a little arena near my hometown. Didn't know the Babys or particularly cared. I went to get beer when they started their set. When I came back they were just starting this. It was amazing. Been a fan since.

That backup singer was amazing. I remember noticing her on the radio the first time.

Been a big fan of John Waite since the Babys and his solo career. Was lucky enough to see John around 2005 when he did an acoustic tour. It was in a very small club in Napa, CA with only about 100 people attending and it was just John and a guitar player. He did a wonderful acoustic version of Missing You and several Baby's songs. It was truly a magical night.

Baby, there are so many great Baby's songs. Midnight Rendezvous, Sweet Seventeen, Postcard, Turn And Walk Away, She's My Girl, Back On My Feet Again. And the whole John Waite Ignition LP is amazing!! Neil Geraldo!!

Love this song. The bassist Ricky Phillips is now with Styx.

Wow, great choice, the Babys were excellent and lead singer, John Waite is a legend, I saw him in the Babys, in Bad English and solo several times, the man can flat out sing and is a fine song writer. From the Babys try Midnight Rendezvous, Looking for Love and Dying Man. They Rock! Enjoy pretty lady, you brighten my day. 🎵

Other "The Babys" songs I recommend: "Back On My Feet Again", "Turn and Walk Away", and "Midnight Rendezvous". Also, John Waite's (lead singer) solo song "Change".

John Waite was in the band Bad English.. Love this song!👍 You should react to "Isn't It Time". You would love it.😊

'no matter what'

The Baby's are so overlooked!

This song is so great, I got more of an 80s feeling. But one thing is for sure , they don't make music like this anymore, we must treasure it.

That voice!

One of my favorite love songs of all time. Love the passion.

The Babys were very underrated and this is one of their best along with Isn't It Time. Another great review Angela!

I haven’t heard this song in years. Thanks for taking me back. What a great song.

I seem to recall blasting that song in my first car around 1979 or so 😎

Boy, that takes me back.

The 70s was absolutely the best decade for all music genres

Soundtrack to my life

You would love the song "Isn't It Time" by The Babys. That one is just as good.

I was 17 when this came out. I still love this song.

My favorites from The Baby's were "Head First" & "Back On My Feet Again".

Back up singers are always underated like on drives seat by sniffin the tears

Saw them live around 70-1980..... good live band

I love the Babys. This is the first song of theirs I ever heard, back in ‘79. I wore out this album, Head First, as well as their previous album, Broken Heart. John Waite has one of my favorite rock voices of all time.

Love your reactions Angela, not only do you pick cool music but YOU are Absolutely Adorable !! Your smile your movements make it impossible not to watch Give "Head First" by the Baby's a listen too 👍🏽

I forgot how good this tune is!

Angela - Watching all of these old hits from the 70s brings back so many great memories, but watching you react to them is just GOLDEN!!

Love, love that song!!! Thank you!!! Haven't seen anyone else do the Babys. Been waiting. Now you must hear their other hits Midnight Rendezvous and Isn't it Time. He had some solo hits also with Change being the big hit. 🙂

Loved this thanks for posting, I was watching “Bridges at Toko Ri” and one scene had this playing on the radio in the background and my closed caption picked it up , so now I know and here I am , thanks again

At times you discover songs that are amazing and i know there are many more waiting to be discovered.

Head First was my fav Baby's song back in the day

John Waite has a great voice and with the backing vocals wow! Thank you Angela love it !

I have all the Baby’s albums on Vinyl. One of my favorite bands. Union Jacks was a fantastic album.

John Waite also sang Change. It was on the Vision Quest movie soundtrack. One of my faves. I also liked Restless Heart alot too.

"give me your love" best Baby's song

wow this is a nice surprise.. not many react to the Baby's

The great John Waite. John had a solo career after The Baby’s, then later formed a group with Neil Schon of Journey called Bad English.

The guy playing the piano is Jonathan Cain. He left the Baby’s and went to Help discover Journey!

I have always loved this song by The Babys. The singers , the piano , all of it. Lead vocals and part time bass player John Waite - Next by them - "Isn't It Time" Another great love song . - Then for more throwback sound "Beach Baby" by First Class.

Saw them in concert with the Kinks and Pat Travers in Portland , Oregon was an awesome concert.

Wow!!! Never heard them or this song!! Superb!! I enjoyed it. Great voices!!

Thank you Angela! An underrated band - that gets too little play.

My fave too! The second guy in the 1st pic is Jonathan Cain who has now been in Journeys band for 40 years now!

As others have already said, lead singer was John Waite, who had a successful solo career after the Babys. Could you react to "Back on my Feet Again" (also by the Babys)?Baby's? Also, "Midnight Rendezvous?"

"Head First" is a real banger.

John Waite is one of those guys that has a classic voice, when you hear it, you know it. Fun fact, the last I heard, he was dating Alison Krauss, great Blue Grass singer/fiddle player/all around artist/massive Grammy winner. They did a re-make of one of his old songs and it is awesome. Can't remember which one off the top of my head though. Looked it up: "Missing You" is the name of the song. Great song of his to do a reaction to also.

Finally someone reacts to The Babys! Splendid!

Awesome song I remember this song from the late 70s when I was a kid , wow they don’t make fun songs like this anymore !

Saw them in high school

LOVE THIS SONG!!

Just love your reactions and your dancing in a chair hahaha great just great

John Waite is the singer, and after he went solo, after The Baby's scored a few hits with " Missing You ".. If you've ever seen the movie, Vision Quest.. he has a popular song in the soundtrack called "Change".. check out the movie video.

her voice makes the song.this is 70s

Essa foi a melhor época das músicas boas.

Great request Chris.

I luv this song!

I met the blond background singer not long ago... very sweet lady... this is a great tune... thanks for sharing.

had a solo hit that reached #1 on Billboard. was also in a band called Bad English. name is john Waite.

My first concert was in 1980. The Baby's and Journey. Can't get much better

John Waite. He had a solo hit with Missing You. He also sand in a band called Band English with When I See You Smile

I went to my very first Journey concert when the baby's open for them. I left there a huge Journey/Steve Perry fan. These guys were good. Several huge songs.

Great reaction I saw these guys in 1980 as an opening act for journey and man I really liked their sound they had a number of great songs me and baby was another as I saw most have said isn't it time another, is back on my feet again,and midnight rendezvou, thanks for your reaction keep spreading the music around God-bless.

Wow. Literally have not heard this song in over 40 years. Here's another one for you from around the same time: Charlie Dore singing "Pilot of the Airwaves" Ignore the fact her name is Charlie, she'd be a great choice for Female Friday. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXt_1MmDisvWqs4.html

The Baby’s had several hits. ❤️ them. John Waite is awesome!

Your reaction to this is adorable, the Baby's were a talented band with John wait the lead ,this video is from a show of the seventies called The Midnight Special used to watch it (1973). Peace out✌

Isn't it time for The Babys "Isn't it Time" from 1977!!!! 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

"ISN'T IT TIME"! PLEASE..

"Isn't it time" is another great one. He also had a hit when he was with the group called Bad English called "When I see you smile"

The Baby's singer is John Waite who had a big 80's hit with Missing You. He then was in Bad English with Baby's keyboardist Jonathan Cain who had joined Journey and then Bad English with Journey guitarist Neal Schon. Baby's bassist Ricky Phillips was also in Bad English and has been in Styx for awhile now. Bad English drummer Deen Castronovo ended up playing in Journey and sings and plays in his band Revolution Saints.

Midnight Rendezvous is also. on my playlist
