Dave's Song of the Day
Isn't It Time – The Babys
Friday song of the day: Today’s song is the first Top 40 hit from a short-lived power pop band of the late 1970s.
In January 1977, the English band The Babys released their self-titled first album. The single from this album, If You’ve Got the Time, was only a minor success, charting at #88 on the Billboard Hot 100. In September of the same year, The Babys released their second album, Broken Heart. The first single from this sophomore album was a hit.
Isn’t it Time was light pop-rock, with hints of glam and disco. Lyrically, it concerned a man who was torn between committing to his girl or walking away from the relationship for fear of failure. Isn’t it Time rose to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This was the first of several hits for The Babys in the next few years, until the band broke up in 1980.
After The Babys disbanded, most of the members found success elsewhere. Singer/bassist John Waite had a #1 hit, Missing You, as a solo artist and later formed the band Bad English in the late 1980s with two other former Babys and Neil Schon of Journey. Other members of The Babys went on to join Journey and Styx, while two others worked with Rod Stewart and Elton John. In 2013, two of the original members reformed The Babys with new musicians, and the band has toured and recorded since then.

Yes, and the confetti (also streamers, flame effects, and pyrotechnics if they have it)

Dave's Song of the Day
Israelites – Desmond Dekker & The Aces
Saturday song of the day: Today’s song is the first reggae song to make the United States Top 10.
In 1968, most Americans had never heard of reggae music. In fact, it was just becoming formulated in its native Jamaica at the time, having recently evolved from ska, jazz, rocksteady, and other musical genres. One of the early reggae artists was Desmond Dekker, often backed by a band called The Aces.
One day Dekker was walking in the park when he heard an argument that inspired him to write a song. As he tells it in a 2005 interview with The Metro, “It all happened so quickly. I didn’t write that song sitting around a piano or playing a guitar. I was walking in the park, eating corn. I heard a couple arguing about money. She was saying she needed money and he was saying the work he was doing was not giving him enough. I relate to those things and began to sing a little song – ‘You get up in the morning and you slaving for bread.’ By the time I got home it was complete. And it was so funny, that song never got out of my mind. It stayed fresh in my head. The following day I got my little tape and I just sang that song and that’s how it all started.”
That song was Israelites, although initially it was released in Jamaica as Poor Me Israelites. The title was shortened for later releases in other countries. The use of the term Israelites likely comes from the Rastafarian religion, which identifies with the ancient Israelites. The song basically laments the economic conditions in Jamaica at the time.
Israelites was originally released in October 1968, but the US release on Uni Records did not take place until early 1969. It was a surprise hit, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, the first time a reggae song had cracked the Top 10. It did even better in the UK, topping the charts at #1.

Dave's Song of the Day
All Along the Watchtower – The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Sunday song of the day: Today’s song is one of the most famous examples of a cover version being considered better than the original. In this case, even the original artist recognized the improvement and later performed the song in the style of the cover version instead of his original recording.
In late 1967, Bob Dylan wrote and recorded the songs for his eighth studio album. Titled John Wesley Harding, it would be his first album since his July 1966 motorcycle accident. The album was released in December 1967 and was very well received. Among the songs was one called All Along the Watchtower, a song driven mostly by acoustic guitar and harmonica. The lyrics were intentionally obscure, and they borrowed images from Chapter 21, verses 5-9 of the biblical book of Isaiah. While the album did well, All Along the Watchtower was not released as a single.
Less than a month after John Wesley Harding was released, Jimi Hendrix was in London working on the third Jimi Hendrix Experience album, Electric Ladyland. A friend had given Hendrix a tape of Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower, and Hendrix decided to record it. His version was a showcase for his electric guitar work, of course, and the tempo and phrasing of the song were changed. The Jimi Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower was released as a single in September 1968, and was a hit, rising to #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is now considered a classic.
With the Hendrix version a hit, Dylan’s record company finally released his original version of the song as a single in November 1968. It failed to chart. Years later, Dylan said of the Hendrix cover, “I liked Jimi Hendrix’s record of this and ever since he died I’ve been doing it that way. Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way.”
The song has been covered on record over 150 times, but the Jimi Hendrix cover is almost universally considered the definitive version of the song, even by Bob Dylan.
