About the work:

‘Hey! Baby’ is a product of the co-writing duo Margaret Cobb and Bruce Channel. The original, which features Bruce’s vocals alongside an iconic harmonica melody, became a huge success upon its release in 1961. At its peak, the song sat at No. 1 on the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ for three consecutive weeks.

This arrangement is based on the July 2000 cover by Austrian artist DJ Ötzi, which has since become very popular at Oktoberfest celebrations and sporting events alike.

Hey! Baby! is a song written by Margaret Cobb and Bruce Channel, being first recorded by Channel in 1961. It reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in March 1962. The song features a prominent riff from well-known harmonica player Delbert McClinton; while touring the UK in 1962 with the Beatles, McClinton gave John Lennon some harmonica tips; Lennon put the lessons to use right away on Love Me Do and later Please Please Me. Lennon included Hey! Baby in his jukebox and a version of the song was recorded by Ringo Starr in 1976. Hey! Baby! was used in the 1987 hit film 'Dirty Dancing' in the scene in which Johnny and Baby dance on top of a log; a dance remix in early 2000 by Austrian artist DJ Ötzi brought it back to prominence again, reaching number 1 in the UK, Irish and Australian charts. This arrangement for concert band has a harmonica part to tie-in with the original, but is beefed up with elements used from a marching band chart by Tom Wallace.
