about this song
In 1972 Denis wrote this love ballad for his wife, Suzanne. Styx was signed to a small record label called Wooden Nickel when they first released this in 1973. It didn't get much promotion and went nowhere, until a radio station in Chicago, WLS, received constant requests for "Lady", and the program director vowed to play the song every night until it became a hit. January 1975, two years after its first release, "Lady" entered the Billboard Top 40, where it peaked at #6 and propelled STYX II to gold record status.
