Promises was a Canadian-based pop group which was founded 1978 in Thousand Oaks, California.

Their father Peter Knauer was a German from Hamburgwho moved with his children from Canada to California in the late 1960s.

The group “Promises” was formed, recorded and produced by Steve Verroca who leased it to EMI EAR Holland.

The single “Baby It’s You” became a smash hit in Europe and around the world (especially in Germany where it reached number 4 in the charts) in February 1979 and Promises received a Gold album for more than 260,000 selling units.

The song was also hugely popular in Australia, largely due to weekly programming of the original film clip on Sunday evening television music show Countdown.
