Rock Me Baby

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

Rock Me Baby · After his debut Cherish, David Cassidy wanted to leave his teen image behind. On his second solo album, produced in 1972 by Wes Farrell for Bell Records, rock, soul and R&B therefore came to the fore. According to AllMusic, Farrell was officially the producer, but the choice of songs and styles showed that the singer also had a say himself. He wrote Two Time Loser and wrote Song for a Rainy Day together with Kim Carnes.

The album opens with the title song, a robust dip into glam rock, which reached the top 40 in the United States. The cover of How Can I Be Sure, originally by the Young Rascals, did even better and spent two weeks at number 1 in the United Kingdom. The album itself reached number 41 in the American chart and rose to number 2 in England. In 2003 it was released on CD by Arista.
