"Baby Jane" was the first song Rod Stewart sent out from Body Wishes, his twelfth studio album, in June 1983. He wrote it with Jay Davis and produced it with Tom Dowd, with Jim Cregan on board as co-producer and at the mixing desk, and it's a glossy, radio-ready strut from a singer who knew exactly where the charts were.
It paid off. Nothing he'd released since "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" in 1978 had done as well: "Baby Jane" spent three weeks at number one in Britain, and it remains his last chart-topper there. In America it climbed to No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it also earned a gold single award from SNEP.
