Bruce Channel

Bruce Channel (pronounced "shə-NELL"; born Bruce McMeans, November 28, 1940) is an American singer and songwriter best known for his 1962 million-selling number one success, "Hey! Baby".

Career

Channel performed originally for the radio program Louisiana Hayride, and then joined with harmonica player Delbert McClinton singing country music. Channel wrote "Hey! Baby" with Margaret Cobb during 1959 and performed the song for two years before recording it for Fort Worth record producer Bill Smith. It was issued originally on Smith's LeCam label, but as it started to sell well it was acquired for distribution by Smash Records., a subsidiary of Mercury. The song went to #1 in the US during March 1962 and held that position for three weeks. Besides topping the U.S. popular music charts, it became #2 in the United Kingdom as well. It sold more than one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Channel hade four more singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Number One Man" which peaked at #52, "Come On Baby" #98, "Going Back To Louisiana" #89 and "Mr. Bus Driver" #90, but none of them were as successful as "Hey! Baby" and he is classified as a one-hit wonder.

If Only I Had Known

by: Bruce Channel

Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's a kind of girl i'd like to meet
She's so pretty, Lord she's fine
I'm gonna make her mine all mine
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
That's when I want to say
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
That's when I want to say
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey hey hey, baby
C'mon, baby now.....
