    The best was yet to come but the DJs obviously had no idea of what sort of acts were going to be big if Peter Powell's comment about The Babys is anything to go by!


    And just when you thought things couldn't get worse...... :p;)

    The Babys had two good singles which sounded pretty much the same. Their follow up was Every time i think of you...another great tune. The lead singer had a solo hit in 84 with Missing You

    Uptown Top Ranking was a great song with an amazing 'feel' to it.

    The Baby's = bog standard bland pop.

    Another band trying to be punk and failing miserably.
