"Lady" was written by Dennis DeYoung for his wife, Suzanne Feusi, the first song he ever wrote for her. [4] 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 ...
Lady is a compilation of songs from the band Styx's early recordings under the Wooden Nickel Records label. It is very similar to the contemporary Best of Styx compilation, consisting of the same tracks as that album (albeit in a different sequence) minus the song "Winner Take All", which does not appear on this album.

Overall, Styx had eight songs that hit the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, as well as 16 top 40 singles. Seven of their eight top 10 singles were written and sung by founding member and lead singer Dennis DeYoung, who has not been part of the band since 1999. Styx sold over 20 million records for A&M between their signing in 1975 and 1984. [8]
Styx performs at the Stark County Fair on Thursday. Singer Lawrence Gowan says the classic rock band is worthy of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
Under the title Lady, the reissue had new artwork (though it is not to be confused with a Styx compilation album that was later released with the same name). Until the release of Crash of the Crown in 2021 it was the only Styx album to not feature material written or co-written by Young (apart from their covers 2005 album, Big Bang Theory ).
"Lady", "You Need Love" and "Best Thing" are the principal songs that could be classified as hits in this collection, having charted at numbers 6, 88 and 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively; the remainder of the songs are selected album tracks from Styx's Wooden Nickel releases.
The lead single "Lorelei" became Styx's second US Top 40 hit. The album was the band's first release for A&M Records (with whom they had signed earlier in 1975, after the success of the 1973 single "Lady"). The album marked the final appearance of original Styx guitarist John Curulewski who left the band to spend time with his family. [5]
