Babe (song)

Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAB : Babe (song)

"Babe" is a song on Styx's 1979 triple-platinum album Cornerstone. The song was Styx's first, and to date only, U.S. number-one single.

The song was written by member Dennis DeYoung as a birthday present for his wife Suzanne. The finished track was recorded as a demo with just him and Styx members John Panozzo and Chuck Panozzo playing on the track with DeYoung singing all of the harmonies himself.

The song was not intended to be a Styx track but then Styx members James "J.Y" Young and Tommy Shaw heard the track and loved it and decided to put it on Cornerstone with Shaw overdubbing a guitar solo in the song's middle section.
