Channel, Bruce. “Hey! Baby.” Hey! Baby. Smash Records, 1962.
Hot 100 #1 for 3 consecutive weeks: March 10th, March 17th and March 24th, 1962.
Channel topped at #2 in the UK and while on tour in Europe was actually supported by the then unknown Beatles at one gig. The device of a sustained first-note with a rhythmic background was later utilized by the hits “Sherry” by The Four Seasons (1962) and “I Should Have Known Better” by The Beatles (1964).
