For stereo playback go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtLrNknaX50&feature=channel_page&fmt=18 Released in 1992 this is British act K.W.S. with their cover version of the 70's hit "Rock Your Baby". It reached # 8 on the U.K. charts in that same year. KWS were a British pop / rave act from Nottingham, UK consisting of instrumentalists / producers Chris King and Winston Williams and vocalist Delroy St. Joseph. They had a number one single in the UK with the double a-side "Please Don't Go" / "Game Boy". They were subsequently nominated for the Best British Newcomer award at the BRIT Awards alongside another covers group, Undercover, drawing much criticism from the British music press. The original version of "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae was written and produced by Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch of KC and the Sunshine Band & was one of the landmark recordings of early disco music. A massive international hit, the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the USA, spending two weeks at the top in July 1974, number one on the R&B singles chart, and repeating the feat on the UK singles chart, spending three weeks at the top of the chart in July 1974. In total it sold over 11 million copies internationally. The backing track for the record had been recorded in 45 minutes as a demo, and featured guitarist Jerome Smith (June 18, 1953 - July 28, 2000)[1] of KC and the Sunshine Band. The track was not originally intended for McCrae, but he happened to be in the studio, added a vocal, and the resultant combination of infectious rhythm and falsetto vocals made it a hit. The hit song later inspired a reply hit "Rockin' Chair" sung by Gwen McCrae then-wife of George McCrae released one year later on TK's Cat subsidiery label with the music and arrangements sounding almost near-similar. *Note: If you are a Record Company employee or artist(s) themselves who object(s) to this commercially unavailable video footage being promoted on YouTube (albeit in a lossy mono audio format) then please contact us to have it removed before flagging it.
