Bruce Channel compositions sheet music and chords

Bruce Channel (/ʃəˈnɛl/, shə-NEL; born November 28, 1940) is an American singer-songwriter best known for his 1962 million-selling number-one hit record, "Hey! Baby". Channel performed originally for the radio program Louisiana Hayride and then joined with the harmonica player Delbert McClinton, singing country music. Channel wrote "Hey! Baby" with Margaret Cobb in 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 number 1 in the US in March 1962 and held that position for three weeks. Besides topping the U.S. popular music charts, it also became number 2 in the United Kingdom.
