Born in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1944, George McCrae started
his musical career singing in church and later joining the glee club
at school. He formed his own singing group called The Jivin’ Jets
before joining the navy in 1963 and reformed the group on his
return in 1967 with the addition of his wife Gwen before they later
decided to work as a duo on Henry Stone’s Alston label before Gwen
went solo and George worked on sessions until a chance moment
had him record Rock Your Baby, written by Harry Wayne Casey and
Richard Finch of KC and the Sunshine Band.

Following the huge success of Rock Your Baby, (Also available on
BBR), Grammy Award Nominee, GEORGE McCRAE, followed with the
release of his self-titled second solo effort in 1975. While the
album was well received in the US, placing on the Billboard Hot 200
Pop chart and #24 on the US R&B chart, it was the in the UK where
GEORGE McCRAE was particularly well received with the album
reaching #54 in the UK Pop charts and the singles doing even
better.

The first single, SING A HAPPY SONG reached the top 40 slowing at
#38 and was followed by, ITS BEEN SO LONG, with its killer drum
beat, fantastic horn section and of course GEORGE McCRAE’S
trademark smooth and incredibly soulful voice. This single charted
to an incredible #4 in the UK and stayed in the charts for an
impressive 11 weeks! I AIN’T LYING continued the album’s success
reaching #12 on the UK pop charts of October 1975 and HONEY I
was a final top 40 hit from the album at the beginning of 1976.
