Lady (Styx song)
"Lady" is a 1973 rock ballad written and performed by the rock band Styx. It was first released on ''Styx II'' and was a local hit in the band's native Chicago, but initially failed to chart nationally. The song gained success shortly after Styx left Wooden Nickel Records to move to A&M Records in 1974 as it began picking up airplay nationwide,〔(Styx at the 2010 Great Jones County Fair )〕 eventually peaking at #6 on the ''Billboard'' Top 40 in March 1975. The track was later re-recorded for the 1995 Styx compilation ''Greatest Hits'' due to a contractual dispute between A&M and Wooden Nickel.
==Background==
"Lady" was written by Dennis DeYoung for his wife, Suzanne Feusi, the first song he ever wrote for her.〔As stated by DeYoung on the 2004 album ''The Music of Styx--Live with Symphony Orchestra''.〕 DeYoung recounted to ''Contemporary Keyboard'' magazine for the January 1981 issue that the first time he ever played acoustic piano was when the band arrived at the recording studio to record "Lady" and saw the piano in the studio; DeYoung had written the song on an electric piano, but decided to try it out on the piano instead, and liked the sound so much that he switched to the piano for the recorded version. It didn't get much promotion and went nowhere, until a DJ named Jeff Davis on WLS in Chicago who was determined to make it a hit played the song every night at 8pm, until it became a national hit.〔(Text from article in ''Contemporary Keyboard'', January 1981 )〕
This is the only song from the band's four Wooden Nickel-era albums that is still performed live; all other material from those years has been long disowned by the band. Former lead singer Dennis DeYoung also performs the song regularly on his solo tours.
