@The1stBaby wow, cool to actually be exchanging messages with one of the original Babys. I understand the nuances of what you are talking about. I guess the interplay among the two vocalists on Silver Dreams is similiar to what Journey had going on for awhile with Steve Perry and Greg Rollie. Co-leads. Anway, I really enjoy the entire Babys catalogue, i had all the LPs from Broken Hearts through On the Edge. And had Everytime I Think of You on 45 so I basically had them all! :)
@ffejbboc Point taken, although we would say that John was indeed singing 'lead vocals' in a part of this song that we always referred to as , 'the bridge.' We would think of parts sung by The Babettes' as the 'backing vocalists' parts. Similarly, I actually play the lead guitar solo in Looking For Love but would also credit Walt for joining me in playing some fine 'lead' guitar play-offs with me at the end.
@ffejbboc Sorry to correct you but John DOES sing on this. He sings from 1:00 for 25 seconds. The only song he didn't sing on from The 'original' Babys catalogue was, 'Over & Over,' which wwas sung by and written by Tony Brock.
thanks for posting this. it takes me back to my idealistic youth. it's too bad that this song wasn't a bigger hit; interestingly enough, this is the only Babys 45 that I had. still have it, too. just a really pretty song. thanks again.
Love it! And every other video and song from the Babys! Thanks for sharing!

All of those guys were stone foxes. I'd like this song to be in a movie theme.
