GEORGE MCCRAE

Best known for his chart topping single Rock Your Baby, George McCrae is a singer who rose to fame in the 1970’s and became popular around the world. McCrae always had an interest in singing, forming the Jivin’ Jets when he was a young man and meeting his future wife, singer Gwen Mosley in 1963. He briefly acted as his wife’s manager, before getting his big break when he was invited to sing Rock Your Baby, a song that had originally been written for KC and the Sunshine Band. The song became a smash hit, and was one of the most successful disco records of the era. It reached number one in both the UK and the USA, and sold more than 11 million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone also voted it as the Song of the Year for 1974, and it is now one of the most iconic tracks of the time. McCrae was nominated for a Grammy award for the single, and went on to release several other successful records. These included I Can’t Leave You Alone and Its Been So Long, as well as two more albums, We Did It! and George McCrae. Following his incredible success during the 1970’s and 1980’s, McCrae has continued to release music and perform around the world. He recently appeared on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny on the BBC, and released his latest record, concept album LOVE in 2016. .
