The Babys are a British rock group that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The original line-up included keyboardist/guitarist Michael Corby, vocalist/bassist John Waite, drummer Tony Brock, and guitarist Wally Stocker. Known for their energetic performances and catchy tunes, The Babys became a staple of the rock music scene.

With influences ranging from classic rock to pop, The Babys created a unique sound that resonated with audiences worldwide. Their melodic hooks and heartfelt lyrics captivated fans and earned them a dedicated following. Songs like "Every Time I Think of You" and "Isn't It Time" showcased their ability to craft memorable hits.

The roots of Chrysalis stretch back to a tiny flat in West London in 1967, when former university social secretaries, Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, linked their flair for managing and booking bands to form the Ellis Wright Agency. After trying to release their bands' records via other companies, they decided to start their own label.

In 1968, they signed a licensing deal with Island Records with the proviso that if their acts achieved an agreed number of hits, they would be awarded a label of their own. Within a year, this tally was reached and Chrysalis Records was born.

Over the years, Chrysalis went through various ownership changes. In 1985, Chris Wright bought out Terry Ellis and later sold the label to EMI in 1991. EMI was then acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 before selling the Parlophone Label Group (including Chrysalis) to Warner Music Group in 2013.
