My Baby Loves Lovin (The Pipkins)

'My Baby Loves Lovin' was a big hit for the group White Plains in 1970. The lead singer on that recording was the co-writer of the song, Roger Greenaway, with backing vocals by Tony Burrows. You could call this the 'alternative version' as it's performed by the same two singers, but this time as The Pipkins. The Pipkins was a UK children's TV show, and the best-known song that Roger and Tony did for that series was the hit 'Gimme Dat Ding'. An LP was released, and this track is from that album. Roger Greenaway is the high-pitched voice, and Tony Burrows is the low gravelly one. Both these guys had great voices and impressive vocal ranges. A great fun song!

Ricky Wolff was the lead singer of My Baby Loves Lovin on the original White Plains version. Tony Burrows was one of the backup singers. It was long-standing misinformation that Tony Burrows was the lead singer. Sorry he wasn't. It was Ricky Wolff singing lead vocals on White Plains version of My baby loves lovin.

Tony Burrows wasn't lead singer of White Plains and he wasn't really with them for very long, only appearing on about half a dozen of their tracks of their first album. The lead singer on "My Baby Loves Lovin" was Ricky Wolff though Tony Burrows seems to have been doubled up with him on the choruses. Ricky Wolff and Peter Nelson were the main lead singers in White Plains.

My parents had the Pipkins' Gimme Dat Ding LP and I always wondered where on earth it came from.

@billio0104 Only 4 of them at the same time , not 5. The First Class hit Beach Baby was from 1974 , the other 4 from 1970.

Tony Burrows was the lead singer of White Plains, not Roger Greenaway. Greenaway was never officially a member of White Plains and according to Wikipedia, he never recorded other than in the Pipkins. Roger did sing lead once when White Plains appeared on Top of the Pops. It was noticeably different from and inferior to the record. Roger probably sang it to change things up because Tony was making one of his eight appearances in three groups in one month on the show.

I thought that Tony Burrows was the higher pitched singer because he is often credited as the lead vocalist on Gimme Dat Ding.

Roger Greenaway was the higher pitched singer whilst Tony Burrows was the croaky talking voice.

I thought Roger was the gravelly voice. I know they switched lead back and forth on some of their songs.
