"Hey Baby" went out as a single in 1975 from Ted Nugent, the self-titled Epic album that launched the American guitarist's solo career, and the twist is that the man whose name is on the record isn't the one singing. Rhythm guitarist Derek St. Holmes takes the lead vocal, and the song is his from top to bottom: words, music and arrangement, the only track on the album St. Holmes wrote and arranged on his own.
That makes it the sidekick's showcase on the boss's big debut, a hard rock strut with the hook out front and St. Holmes grabbing his moment at the mic.
