Song #389: "Every Time I Think Of You"--The Babys (1978)

Before John Waite drove me up the wall with "Missing You" in the 1980's, he fronted the 1970's band, "The Babys", who had some good singles and, frankly, didn't get enough credit from them. They made songs that, while they were on the radio, people were constantly saying, "Hey, that's a great song. Who sings it?"

For our countdown, it came down to "Isn't It Time", "Back On My Feet Again", and today's song. The tipping point is the driving chorus vocals and what is, in my opinion, a fantastic vocal finish in the fade.

Recorded in 1978, but released as a single in early 1979, here's Waite and Company's contribution to our musical journey.....
