The Babys

The Babys were an English rock band that released the 1976–77 Chrysalis albums The Babys and Broken Heart.

They charted with two songs co-written by American singer Ray Kennedy: “Isn’t It Time” and “Every Time I Think of You.”

Drummer Tony Brock recorded earlier with symphonic hard-rockers Spontaneous Combustion.

Singer John Waite went solo and scored a 1984 Billboard No. 1 with “Missing You.” Keyboardist Jonathan Cain notched multiple hits with the 1981–86 incarnation of Journey.
