GEORGE McCRAE - Rock Your Baby

George McCrae's 1974 hit single Rock Your Baby spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard R&B singles chart. The single is one of less then 40 that has sold more then 10 million physical copies worldwide. The track was written by KC and The Sunshine Band, and it was never intended to have McCrae on it - he just happened to be at the studio when KC and The Sunshine Band were recording and he stepped in to add-lib a vocal. This song inspired the drum part in Dancing Queen, the popular 1970's single by Swedish pop group Abba, and it inspired the chord progression in John Lennon's 1974 hit Whatever Gets You Through The Night. The song also inspired an answer back single from the soul and disco singer's wife Gwen McCrae that was released in 1975 - Rockin' Chair.
