Babe (song)

"Babe" was the lead single from Styx's 1979 triple-platinum album Cornerstone. The song was Styx's first, and 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 originally intended to be a Styx track, but then Styx members James "J.Y" Young and Tommy Shaw convinced DeYoung to put the song on the Cornerstone album. As a result, DeYoung's demo was placed on Cornerstone with Shaw overdubbing a guitar solo in the song's middle section. The track became a major hit.
