Who was George McCrae's hit song "Rock Your Baby" originally intended for?

George Warren McCrae, Jr. (born October 19, 1944) is an American soul and disco singer, most famous for his 1974 hit "Rock Your Baby". McCrae married Gwen McCrae (née Mosley) in 1963. Four years later, he re-formed the group, the Jivin' Jets, with his wife Gwen joining the line-up, but soon afterwards they decided to work as a duo. Gwen then won a solo contract, with George acting as her manager as well as doing some singing on sessions and in clubs in Palm Beach, Florida.

He was about to return to college to study law enforcement, when Richard Finch and Harry Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band invited him to sing the lyrics for a song that they had recorded for the band, but could not reach the high notes that were required for the song. The original intention was that Gwen, his wife, should record it, but she was late for the session and George recorded alone. It suited his high-pitched voice to the extent that the song, "Rock Your Baby", became one of the first hits of the disco era in 1974.

Gwen McCrae (née Mosley, December 21, 1943) is an American singer, best known for her 1975 hit "Rockin' Chair". Gwen was the youngest of five children. She began performing in local clubs as a teenager, and singing with local groups like the Lafayettes and the Independents.
