Description:	1988's number-one/smash-hit "Baby I Love Your Way"/Freebird Medley "Free Baby" by Will To Power. This Peter Frampton's covered was 1988's number-one/smash-hit "Baby I Love Your Way"/Freebird Medley "Free Baby" by Will To Power. This Peter Frampton's covered was a duo consisting of very known and talented DJ/producer Bob Rosenberg and vocalist Suzi Carr. Review.- Will to Power is an American dance music group led by music producer, remixer, and DJ Bob Rosenberg. The group had several notable chart hits in the late '80s and early '90s, most notably 1988's "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley (Free Baby)", a medley of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird", which was a Billboard #1 smash. In 1985, Rosenberg was working at Miami's newly-formed dance music radio station "Hot 105" as one of the nation's first "On Air" radio-mix DJs. Rosenberg also produced remixes and medleys of different hits which became popular in their own right on the station. He was hired by 2 Live Crew to provide cuts for their Miami Bass album, billed as "King of the Edits." In 1987, Rosenberg joined with Dr. J and Suzi Carr under the first Will to Power lineup. Their first effort, "Dreamin'" became a popular regional dance song of that summer. It quickly climbed the charts on radio stations such as New York City's Hot 103, San Francisco's KMEL, and Miami's Power 96 (where it became the number-one song of the year staying in the top five for over thirty weeks). Power 96's Program Director, Bill Tanner, stated that "Dreamin" was the biggest pop song in South Florida history (at that time). "Dreamin'" may have been the biggest local record of all-time -- and that includes all the great 1965-70 local hits such as "Girl I Got News For You" (1 week at #1) and "Stoned Cowboy" (3 weeks at #1). Certainly it's the only one that was designated as the #1 song of the year on a year-end survey. Bob, I know the record was dedicated to Robin... but did her tragedy also inspire the writing of the song? Their debut album Will To Power included their three number-one hits on the Hot Dance Club Play chart: 1987's "Dreamin'", 1988's "Say It's Gonna Rain" and 1989's "Fading Away". Ironically, it was a ballad tacked onto the album, "Free Baby", that became their most successful single. By 1990's Journey Home, Will To Power was a duo consisting of Rosenberg and vocalist Elin Michaels. Journey Home got Billboard Magazine's highest rating and the LP produced a Top 10 hit with a ballad: this time a remake of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love." The follow-up single was a re-make of the disco hit "Boogie Nights." Epic Records and Rosenberg had artistic differences and Epic did not release any further singles from the album. 1996 saw the release of Will to Power's third album, Love Power, which was a compilation of hits and favorites from the first two albums. Rosenberg went back into the studio in 2004, and in 2005 released Spirit Warrior on Straight Blast Records. Rosenberg called on such contributors as singers Gioia Bruno (of Exposé), Donna Allen, Siddy Betancourt, sax player Ed Calle, and guitarist Gary King. The first dance single was a medley of "Spirit Warrior" and the Will to Power version of Gil Scott-Heron's "The Bottle." Another single was "Dreamin' (Again)," with Bruno on vocals and Rosenberg performing a laid back rap. This release went to Number One within 4 weeks on the industry magazine, "DJ Times" Dance Chart and also on most Record Pool and club charts in 2005. Althought the song was not promoted or released to radio it went to #1 for 2 weeks on notable Dance Station, WMPH. In March 2006, renowned dance remixer/producer Giuseppe D. provided remixes for Will To Power's Spirit Warrior - The Remixes EP.

This is lovely, had forgotten about this little beauty xXx

i hate will to power because they killed fucking freebird

Oh those memories... Couldn't forget about our memorable excursion with this song in early 1989! I love the nostalgia, thanks for posting this vid!

i like the version of mig ayesa....but i like this one also....

i liked that it was adult contemporary (guess they call it adult alternative now ::eye roll::). I liked that it was practically anti-MTV, even though I barely watched VH1 then except to watch shows like "Legends" and "8 Track Flashback:. Now it's like a tabloid for TV. They may as well change their name to The Tabloid Channel, E!2 or Star TV.

I definitely agree with you that this is one of the very few remakes that actually surpasses the original, I do not like the remakes that are out today that's for sure, plus I've always thought this was an original tune when I've first heard of this song.

I sure miss the way VH1 used to be back in the 1980s/early 1990s, they sure did play alot of great music back then.

I've always favored this version over Peter Frampton's and Big Mountain's versions, I used to think this was the original (this was long before I've heard of Peter Frampton's version).

i'm agree is the best version.

That is the best version for me

Thanks, i love you, too. Suzi is my mom's first cousin, so she is my second cousin.

this is for David!!

Hahaha! This comment totally cracked me up! Yeah , this song is pretty cool.

I always loved this song back in the 80s - great memories! And I also loved their version of "I'm Not in Love." Having been born in the 70s, I never heard the original versions of the songs WTP covered until after the cover versions came out - weirded me out! :)

The best music video ever, the best moustache ever, the best song ever. Seriously, I want to eat my own face after watching this.

so much memories.

For you, ADC. ☺

I had a huge crush on my boss 20 years ago, he asked me to dance to this song...It brings me back...

Great song, thanks for posting !

this i to my best friend, josh... i love you more thsn you'll ever know

só Deuz sabe!

de que ano é esta música?

I graduated from high school with Suzi's brother. Suzi is a couple years younger than we were but I remember her family well. I've always loved Will To Power and it made me proud to see those videos on VH1 many years ago!
