Sometime in 1975 Atlantic Records launched their very short-lived Wing & A Prayer subsidiary label in New York City, primarily to provide an outlet for the Disco studio groups Consumer Rapport and Wing & A Prayer Fife & Drum Corps assembled by Harold Wheeler, who had been associated with the Broadway musical The Wiz, at a time when Disco was in its infancy. Just 2 albums were released in their existence along with 6 singles.
Their 1976 album, Babyface, hit No. 47 on the US pop album chart and No. 19 on the R&B Albums chart, due to the success of the single, "Baby Face". It had previously reached No. 1 for Jan Garber in 1926 and Art Mooney in 1948. The single went to No. 1 on the US Club Play chart, and No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
