Part 4/9:
After years of struggle, the band finally signed with Wooden Nickel Records, changing their name to Styx in the process. The initial challenge, however, was getting radio play—a hurdle that many artists find the hardest to overcome. DeYoung described the writing and release of "Lady," a poignant love song inspired by his wife, as a personal highlight. Initially recorded for their first album, it was shelved by their producer who believed it would fare better on the second album.
