Could be wrong, but it sure feels right. Sweet memories.

[dyht41]

I saw The Babys in concert with Journey back in the day.It was awesome.

[horstmang]

I forgot about this song........thanks for putting it out there for us! I put this group up there with Journey(my favorite), Boston, Styx, Eagles, etc....for vocals, lyrics and great rock!

[DaveWollenberg]

Definitely rocks more than 'Isn't it time', and, 'Every time I think of you'.

[DaveWollenberg]

John Waite and the boys hit #33 in Billboard, 3-15-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[Alliancelane]

Was 15, working @ Burgerking when this embeded itself in my memories. 1979 ish

[Muffett53]

I won't drown my sorrows...they are gone. Can't wait to see YOU again!!! YOU know who you are!

Don't know exactly why, but the bridge in this song is one of the best ever in pop/radio rock. Just perfect.

[TheElmergantry2]

Dominic Bugatti and Frank Musker wrote the original tune "Yesterday's Hero" for The Sweet. waite did a really good rewrite with the lyrics and there's a fair bit of punch to this track. Queen's Brian May puts it among his "Desert Island Discs" it's also one of the few tracks that Mike Corby, founder of a group called The Babys, would have considered worthy of the original band.

[AlanJK47]

Saw them warm up for Styx (Cornerstone tour) at the time Union Jacks came out. Still have the little quarter-size button (pin) from the handful John Waite threw out to those of us right in front sweating it out at the Seattle Coliseum!

[dsmtzbwana3]

@AlanJK47 The Cornerstone tour! Awesome!

[Jackupnow]

Try getting union jack it like winning the lotto

[Jackupnow]

Try gett

[TashShaqMJ]

The Babys !!! Wow, what a gr8 band! Tthank you so very much 4 posting!

[lorettathompson512]

I found this album as well as Head First to be some of the MOST UPLIFTING, ENERGIZING road music of a myriad of artist's on long drives from Austin Texas to Key West Florida.

Jhon Waithe and the Baby's music NEVER, EVER, failed to put a smile on my face as I and my passengers exeberantly sang along. ;)

[alliebubbles]

go anywhere in the world and find a more uplifting song and then let me know what it is......I'm betting there are no takers on that one.......

[1967jenngl]

I absolutely love this song i am achild from the 70s and teen from the 80s so I know good music when I hear it

[IslamISsick1]

I use to sing this song in a band while playing the keys... I had an extremely hard time hitting some of those notes "HERE I AM..."...... Amazing singer...

[IslamISsick1]

One of the most underrated music stars of our time...

[DaveWollenberg]

the Babys hit #33 in Billboard, 3-15-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[littlemisstheater17]

[aryasvajra]

brucerussellii@yahoo.com

[daddy1124]

@littlemisstheater17 You're not weird. You just have good taste.

[zepploid]

@littlemisstheater17 They're you're age, too...they'll come around when they realize music is timeless. Keep listening - there's SO much more...

[stonermanmike]

@littlemisstheater17 s'okay, kid, this song is amazing,kinda figures, I was 13 when this song came out...go figure, eh?

[gblaw5]

@littlemisstheater17

Don't listen to those idiots. You're just trying to fill the void in your life of qualty music by talented artists that your generation has been denied. So TURN it UP and check out the classics of the 60's, 70's, & 80's, Long live REAL MUSIC and REAL ROCK n ROLL

[selene2317]

@littlemisstheater17 You are not weird you just know good music when you hear it. You are just starting the teen years and you will go through many changes..as a youngster and this song will help lift up spirits when you are down. When I was you age (MANY MANY YEARS AGO) I also liked older music and my friends that I was weird oh well.

[Carrots43]

@littlemisstheater17 You not weird, your are cool!

[shhs2012saudy4u]

=]

[FindChristFindLife]

I thought was the great song and I want to do it in my band!

[olafvh]

Good song! but.. must say.. made me think of Supertramp!

[jackfrost2030]

Superb band that was severely underated by many ...Waites voice was pure magic

[clockworktim]

Great song, great memories. I distinctly remember this playing around 1979, when I was new to high school. Here's the part that burned into my psyche forever. There was a jukebox in the cafeteria. Mostly the seniors played it, us underlings couldn't touch it. Someone put on this great tune & music filled the space. I was on the sidelines, sitting on a bench, staring at a senior girl, amazingly hot, belting this out to friends of hers. I was mesmerized, couldn't take my eyes off her. Sweet youth.

[girlwalkerII]

a" keep positive" kinda of song...rock on! for a Latina chick

[castlerockbulldogs]

Like it!

[mercenary799]

one of the most underrated bands ever...along with the cars, and jefferson starship

[JHmusic4ever]

@mercenary799 I isn't underrated, it is forgotten by most people. If you let hear it, they will all sing along.

[villiegal]

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER RECORDED !!!!

[Doobie1975]

Great song, don't know why this song wasn't as popular as "Isn't it Time" and "Every Time I Think of You"

[Peoria3165]

The Babys need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Here's another great rocker!

[2002nighttrain]

i am glad I am a old man that way i know stuff like this.

[selene2317]

@2002nighttrain I am an old woman who feels the same way

[BPrustyclaw]

@2002nighttrain..I'm 42 and so glad we got to real music live vs the crap out there today.

[AlecS3128]

i still say to my self il get by without love :/

[villiegal]

literally puts me back on my feet!

[kickerpk]

Takes me back to the best damn time of my life...Sitt'in on my patio, firing up a fattie and just jamm'in...Wish that could have lasted...

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

@kickerpk Ain't it the truth?

[chosenone238]

When ever your down and out, And things aint going the way you want, And everyone is on your case, You tell them her I am Im back on my feet again.

[joechristen]

love this song... it so explains me i am back on my feet again...love my prince charming...

[The096757]

when i heard the babies around late 1979 and up to the early 1980s i thought their music was made around 1974 and that i heard the band in the mid 1970s but that was not possible. i won't call the music dated but it did sound more mid 1970s compared to the other rock out during the waning days of disco.

[22RZE]

I love John Waite's stuff. Took me forever to get his music on CD, because it was an import, and nobody was able to get it for me from any record store. 12 years later, and thanks to the internet, I got it.

[MrTierra68]

DAMN GREAT MEMORIES

[jeffdp68]

They used the song "yesterday's Heroes" by Sweet as basis for the song, but Sweet's song was nowhere near as good.

[johnwaiteisgreat]

@jeffdp68

yes thats right

John said: I wasn't gonna be a loser now was'n't I ?

he didnot like the original lyrics

Wouter

[liamboneil]

Awesome song. One if the best.

[FIREHAWK1967]

Plain and simple, this song rocks all the way!

[ptscao]

Couples skate anyone?

[miguelaltes]

what a memories, i used to sing this all day, (Gulp¡)long time ago

[tdolz]

Rocks!

[FrankieDuhYankee]

the most under rated band of the 70's. this is a perfectly passionate tune.

(I saw them open for Styx too, Lakeland Civic Center 1978)

[tazlizard]

Man theese make me feel old! I saw them in concert for the first time in 1977 as a warm up band for Styx!!!

[FrankieDuhYankee]

@tazlizard

I saw them open for Styx too! 1978...what a show that was!

[tobyduff]

this was my favorite roller skating song -- anybody want to lace up the old 4 wheelers and skate in a small circle for 5 hours -- love it

[ozzyfan82]

i see I cannot post the sweet song. 

[ozzyfan82]

I was trying to post the vid  to compare and contrast. This site will not let me

[215buck]

I just looked up yesterdays hero, and I can't imagine how "The Babys" could possibly deny plagiarism!

[ozzyfan82]

@215buck i love this,I cannot post the sweet song to compare. Is there a reason?

[215buck]

I can't find "back on my feet again" by Sweet.

[ozzyfan82]

i love the song ,just wondering why the robbed from sweet?

[gwxk]

The song is "Back On My Feet Again" and the album cover shows a pair of shoes. Gotta luv the continuity.

[ozzyfan82]

Look up yesterdays hero by Sweet . Kinda wierd the similarities. Who had this song first?

[villiegal]

JOHN WAITE............THERE WILL BE NO OTHER VOICE LIKE HIS.... LOVE IT...LOVE HIM ..... ONE DAMN GOOD SONG BRINGING BACK THE MEMORIES OF THE DAY.....THANKS FOR POSTING ONE DAMN GREAT SONG... THE BABYS ARE IT!!!

[villiegal]

[MultiMrdreamer]

[lonerider991]

[lonerider991]

God love the 80's

[brandonhornsby]

I remember when this song first came out just before I got into highschool. Cool song, but scary. Means I'm one old fucker o_O

[ApollosPlace]

[inbetweentics]

@ApollosPlace

[khajek01]

John Waite - incredible....

[greenjettank]

My favorite Baby's song! I would love to see some HQ live video of them. I know it's hard to find from so long ago.

[bobafettfan32]

sigh back when music was good and mtv was just getting started. not showing shit shows like jersey shore.

[Doobie1975]

This is a great song, I'm surprised this song didn't chart as high as "Isn't it Time" and "Everytime I Think of You" yet this song gets played on SIRIUS XM's Classic Rewind and the other two songs don't get played on that station

[Paulvon128]

these guys were really good

[no1rnbfan]

@AshleY443anz  90's?? This song is from 1979!!!

[Doobie1975]
