Riff: George McCrae – “Rock Your Baby”

Dec 8, 2016

There’s nothin’ to it/Just say you wanna do it/Open up your heart/And let the lovin’ start

from Rock Your Baby lyrics by George McCrae

A mega million dollar hit that made TK Records a small fortune. For McCrae it didn’t turn out so well, but then again maybe he didn’t know how popular a song it was going to become. The groove is simple and hits all the right chords, making it a stepper’s paradise from beginning to end. Add a dynamic verse, and an easy to follow hook and you have a monster cut hiding in plain sight.
