    I've just heard this on an aircheck of Kenny Everett on Capital Radio (London ) from 1977. Fabulous ! 😃

    For me, this will always be an anthem to the most beautiful supermodel of them all: the iconic Margaux Hemingway. She had this classic song written just for her and the song’s title couldn’t have been more fitting. ❤❤❤

    I love this song and the Faberge commercials with the beautiful Margaux Hemingway. It brings back good memories from my childhood.. 😊 God bless America and all the fans from this wonderful song.Faberge products and the one and only the sexy Margaux. 😊

    I was the producer of this single at Sigma Sound Studios NY in the 70's. After it was finished I danced round the city at 4 am playing the track over and over. I remember the harp player was a huge black man. I wonder what Kenny is doing today? And Bob Larimer who wrote the song (and the original jingle). Thanks to NaturalSoulBrother1 for uploading it - I had lost my only copy here in London. Chris

      fluff honestly its the same one look at his profile pic. Identical to the guy who was sentenced to 13 years in December.

      fluff okay if you say so. But the DJ was a producer as well.

      Suicide at age 42. Despite her fame, beauty and big multi million dollar contract with Fabergé, she felt she couldn’t go on. Very sad. Remember her and get siblings, Hemingway family.

    I had this on 7" record. In September 2012 I moved house and my beloved record collection was stolen by the lovely removal men.It brakes my hart every time I recall another single Iv lost. Glad to see that I was not the only person to have heard of this song, although looks like the only one to buy it. It was featured on an advert for Babe perfume....Do you remember that.

      Indeed I do Marie, in the Autumn of 1977, and still have this somewhere on vinyl. Noel Edmonds played it a lot on his early morning Radio 1 show, but then the BBC realised they were unwittingly advertising. After a short time it was replaced by a version where Kenny sang 'girl' rather than 'babe', but it just wasn't the same!

      I think it was for Fabergé “Babe” fragrance. The model was the legendary Margeaux Hemingway.
