Give Me Your Love

The Zoo Crew is spinning the groovy vibes of Give Me Your Love by The Babys from their 1977 album Broken Heart, and the Zoo Freaks are surely digging it! This track is a standout on the album, characterized by its dramatic, orchestral rock sound with a biting guitar riff that gives it a unique edge. According to fan discussions on Rate Your Music, the song features a "stabbing guitar" that adds a raw intensity, blending the band’s signature AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) and pop rock style. While specific interviews about the song are scarce, its placement as one of the bookend tracks on Broken Heart highlights its importance, with fans noting its nostalgic appeal and describing it as a quintessential piece of the band’s early sound. The album itself marked a shift for The Babys, with producer Ron Nevison crafting a clearer, more polished sound compared to their debut, allowing John Waite’s vocals to shine through with greater clarity.

The Babys formed in London in 1975, emerging from the vibrant rock scene of the era. The band came together when keyboardist/guitarist Michael Corby and vocalist/bassist John Waite joined forces with drummer Tony Brock and guitarist Wally Stocker. According to their biography on The Babys Archives, the group was driven by a shared passion for blending hard rock with melodic pop sensibilities. Their early days were spent gigging relentlessly around London, building a reputation for their energetic live performances. The band’s big break came with their signing to Chrysalis Records, which led to their self-titled debut album in 1976. The success of Broken Heart in 1977, featuring hits like Isn’t It Time and Give Me Your Love, propelled them onto the international stage, with the album selling 400,000 copies as noted on Wikipedia.
