At the 0:20 mark of Rock Your Baby, George McCrae says sexy. It's pretty random, he doesn't actually begin to sing until 0:38. I guess he's supposed to be saying it to his woman, hoping this will be enough of a compliment for her to take me in your arms and rock your baby. Perhaps he thinks the music is sexy? Or he's sexy? Could be. Everyone felt sexy in the 70s, right?
Rock Your Baby is an early tune from the disco era, and one of the first songs to feature a drum machine. It was written by Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch of KC & the Sunshine Band, and it really sounds like one of their tunes. The rhythm guitar is excellent, it ties the whole song together. The guitarist is Jerome Smith, who was also a member of the Sunshine Band.
George McCrae certainly has a great voice, very smooth and seductive. The music is mellow and comforting, like enjoying an evening on the beach as the sun sinks into the horizon across the ocean. It was an international hit in the summer of 1974, driving people onto dance floors all around the world.
