Baby's Gang was an Italian teen pop ensemble established in 1983, consisting of thirteen adolescents and fronted by the future italo disco icon Ivana Spagna. Their most notable track is the single "Happy Song".
History
The group was created by producer Alfredo "Larry" Pignagnoli, with most of their songs crafted by Pignagnoli, Spagna, and Otto Bacciocci. Their musical style blended Italo-Disco with Electro-Pop dance rhythms. Under the Memory Records label and guided by producer Alessandro Zanni, they released a number of popular singles, highlighted by the hit "Happy Song". This track was later covered in 1985 by the German disco act Boney M, achieving widespread success across Europe. Following the release of their debut album Challenger in 1985, Spagna embarked on a solo path with her single "Easy Lady". Baby's Gang dissolved in 1988. Subsequently, group member Denise Bonfanti embarked on a modest solo singing career.
