Starz-Cherry Baby

[777butch777]

I too thought these guys were great. Never received much airplay, and never got the attention they deserved. Thanks for posting Starzcentral!

Violation was my very favorite.

*band

[bigdctherock]

Hard to believe this band came out of Looking Glass. That name was so light & mellow. This band, poppy as they can be, were energetic & rocked REALLY hard! Awesome!

[dickeye58]

Very underrated band...honestly I had forgotten about them until very recently.

[MZVIRB]

Metal hair bands of the 80's hurt rock. Their best songs were covers of 70's power pop bands!

[Rebecca31165]

I loved this when I was about 12 or 13.......



[jamestlenahan]

Uh, huh...the real shit. Why, oh, why did Rock and Roll go away?!?

[johnnyrockitman]

RICHIE, MICHEAL LEE< JOE X DUBE YOU ROCK!!!!!!!

FAIRLAWN NJ RULES!!!!!!

[mojohelmet]

i bought this on 45 when it first came out! it was pressed in clear yello vinal,..got to love that!.....

[nvmbrsdoom5]

Great band, and one of the best frontmen in rock.

[garybmufc]

I preferred ANGEL but this def takes me back to the day thanx

[SammiSeverity]

such good memories come up when i listen to this old classic stuff. awesome! bands today could learn a lot from these great old bands.

[Jamesharrisguitar]

Great Tunes-Starz Rulezz



[SmellsLikeNothing]

I'd love to see a new album.

[juannrocks]

great band

[sherri169]

i am so glad i found them i knew i did not dream them up and the other song third time is the charm yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

[misfitstranger]

You got that shit right, Ratter. Nothing even close to it today. Classic!

[skamin011]

Jammed this tune with my girlfriend in "78". Her name was Cheryl and naturally "Cherry" becames her new name.

[conradsdad]

Saw these guys open for Styx at Boston's Orpheum Theater, I guess about '77 or so. Great show, and I couldn't hear a thing in school the next day.

[sltgb62]

always loved STARZ!!!

[ru43792]

This was the first Starz track I heard way back in the late 70s. I was hooked! Violation is one of my fav albums of all time. I agree with everyone else here - very underrated band who deserved greater success than they had. It's a Violation..!

[DaveWollenberg]

Starz hit #33 in Billboard, 5-7-77. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[BlondeSurfer109]

Ohhh cherry baby....I love cherry babies, there amazing

[ukmenace123]

One of my mates told me about this band and they are AWESOME! That is all I have to say. They are super underrated. They should have been at KISS status in terms of popularity. Good rockin band!

[garcemac]

Thanks for this. I haven't heard these guys in years. Great band.

[garcemac]

@garcemac

At myself: I came back to listen to this again! I loved this song! I LOVED this time in music.

So good!

[syphen90125]

Wow i thought nobody would remember this great band. Thanks for posting it.

[almajazzeosa]

I´ve been waitin´ for this about 30 years. I´m from Chile. The LP was in my hands by then... now it´s a rememberin´... THANK YOU VERY; VERY; VERY MUCH !!!

[vernonspeece]

one of the most under rated groups of the 70's

[sportygirl869]

Good singer - great band also.

[sbach56]

Still the best F**king rock and roll band in America!

[MSL2007]

Great! Today's bands are not so creative...

[stargazer2756]

I'm just saying, I think that there is a way to clean up some of the older stuff and make them HD or to at least make them look easier on the eyes. I realize that there is probably not much out there of Starz which is a shame since they did play a lot of places! I saw them at least 3 times here in Cleveland in the past and each show was amazing. Still one of my favorite groups to see live.

[stargazer2756]

Great band and I saw them several times in the past. One of the best in my opinion. Very underrated. Not sure why they don't clean up some of these videos and repost them. They are obviously getting the traffic! Not on Facebook either.

[Starzcentral]

@stargazer2756

These are the best copies of the videos that we have. As far as Facebook, search for Starz Central. That's the band's official page.

[timmyrtue]

This band was ahead of its time, if they would have come out with there music in the 80's they would have been HUGE!!!

[luvzpalin1]

i CANT WAIT to see thesze guys in APRIL 2011 limited engagement !!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsScooter46]

@luvzpalin1

where will they be?

[Starzcentral]

@MsScooter46

Friday, April 15-Mexicali Live in Teaneck NJ

Sunday, April 17-Rock & Roll Expo in Albany NY

[tmthord]

one of the best rock bands of all time

[Billyisfree]

ROCK-N-ROLL This group could have been the "Aerosmith" of my late '70's generation...listen to the music...they were rated very-very high in the late 1970's...thank you for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Billy

[Billyisfree]

ROCK-N-ROLL ...In the late 1970's (1976-1978ish) the music experts rated this group the same as Aerosmith! Listen to all their songs...a slight twist of fate...and this group would be today's Aerosmith! Thank you for all who post their music!!! Billy

[HardRockViewz]

Saw them live on their Violation tour, summer of 77. GREAT SHOW! Ritchie Ranno is one of the best guitarist of all time! His solo was outstanding, and if I remember correctly, he did something in the middle of it like "when you wish upon a star, or twinkle twinkle little star", or something like that. High energy band that could play their instruments. You kids really missed out on the best days of Hard Rock with bands like Starz, Moxy, Riot, Angel, Piper, etc. Watch um on you tube!

[lambofgodofwariz]

Rex Smith's Older brother is lead vocals!!

[daviolette]

I love Starz!

[MrAngelofmusic2112]

This song is a real toe tapper.These guys rocked!

[LowBid86]

Kind of an Aerosmith vibe with this video--and yet "Cherry Baby" and "So Young So Bad" are so superior to anything that ASmith did it boggles the mind...

[capthank2001]

real classic hard rock, fantastic!

[shanoknowsmusic]

That's interesting. Starz came out with 4 LPs in the 1970's, and i had all of them. Refreshing vocals on this tune!

Their song, 'Good Ale We Seek', was hilarious!

[SleazeThrobb12345]

I remember doing this song at a talent show in middle school and from that day on i was hooked on Hard Rock!

[darrylabling]

rockin!!!!

[tesaaesthetic]

I saw these guys In Toledo in the 70's. Then I bought their albums. Especially like the tune "Johnny All Alone".

[duskopopov1945]

I saw them in '78 and they rocked! Did you ever read into their lyrics - a lot of depth for a young band in those days; sure do miss them!

[70sforever1]

Starz live at Mexicali Live, Teaneck, NJ, April 15th, 2011 & The ROCK N ROLL EXPO Sunday April 17 2011, 3 PM Show, Albany Marriott Wolf Rd., Colonie NY !!

[SabbeleuDesigns]

I had this on transparent yellow vinyl!

[Contontos]

I saw Starz somewhere in L.A. - Might have been the StM Civic; I don't remember. The other band was 'Detective.'

My copy of the LP was see-through, orange vinyl. I don't know if I still have it.

[knightmidnight]

I love this song, a true band of Hard Rock,

[wdt9801]

Lead singer looks like a cross between Steven Tyler and Freddie Mercury

[hadoenough]

Note to the record companies who keep pulling music videos from You Tube. I am buying the MP3 of this Starz tune from Amazon because I was exposed to it on You Tube. Not all of us are pirates, argggh!

[missaprille1]

Ok..another great 70's band..put out i think 3 albums..thattt's rite I said ALBUMS..then disappeared from sight..very memorable tho and again..fun to look at!

[roxxfogg]

Cherry Baby!!! Love this tune too!!

[Aussiewayne100]

Unbelieveable, after ALL these years to here this again!!!

[mclain8855]

The original Starz album is one of the most underrated albums of all time. Check out the song "I Pulled the Plug". It was written about euthanasia.

[jjflix79]

Been listenin to these dudes alot lately.......were under my radar ALL THIS TIME!

Man they rock!!!......Definitely dont make em like this anymore!!....What ever happened to the multi-tacked harmonies?....the thunderclaps??......Brilliant shit.......its also kinda cool that the Lead Singer looks like a "badass" Freddie Mercury!!.......Only wish I woulda known about them when I was younger!!

[MrStratkat77]

Man, this brings back memories! Great band...never understood why they didn't make it bigger. Thanks for the vid. "Things go better with rock!!!"

[bobbyswamp]

Starz rules...

[300watthead]

They are coming back to The Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland on Oct. 2, 2010. For Tickets go to arrogantrex . com 

[crimsondynamo752]

One of the most overlooked bands in rock. A gem if you care to dig!!!

[fjm070]

Great song--they don't make 'em like this anymore!

[DrBuggles1]

Last time I heard this song, I was 5 years old, I am now nearly 15, I still remember all the lyrics

[boyZiti]

most under-rated band of the 70s Rock Scene.Awesome songs,singer, guitars and JX Dube's stash rivals Neil Peart's(mustache that is). Listen, if the music industry is going to keep supressing new music and not invest in anything other than repackaging classic crap than they should at least promote a band like STARZ which they did a shitty job of doing back in the day. They deserve everything Aerosmith got ... yes what I'm saying is they are just as good for sure. btw I'm a big Aerosmithh fan!

[Jax122701]

GREAT band and GREAT song!!!!

[thenaturalboxer]

I always loved Starz. Glad to know there are Starz fans still out there

[dahsuerk]

Used to sing this to the girls.

[RATTER53]

This great song is 33 years old..and still sounds so much better than any of today's mainstream no talent SHIT!

[marquezmargaret0]

@RATTER53 so funny that even bubble gum pop music was better back then

[xXDxMOBXx]

This song is a classic!!!!

[mcoolick]

STARZ is & always will be the band that makes my heart young again. It is a very select group of people I've kept in my life long enough that share how I feel when I play this album. We NEVER change the music (even if it totally flips the mood in the room) and We ALWAYS sing ALL the words to ALL the songs as Loud as we want.

[jeanniecee]

I LOVE this song!!!! ( :

[cckeach7]

Awesome. Attention Shoppers! lp also rocks!
