One of the most noted rap songs of the early 1990s turned out quite different than was first envisioned.
Rapper Sir-Mix-A-Lot made it big with his hit, "Baby Got Back." But originally, the song was titled, "Baby Got Bach."
And the inspiration?
A budding friendship between Anthony Ray (Sir Mix's real name) and WABE's own Lois Reitzes.
For the first time, Reitzes shared her story with Senior Reporter Jim Burress.
