While working for the Department of the Media, where he worked on the research project that led to the establishment of 2JJ, Baker met Geoff Plummer, who was a drummer for a 1950s retro band, Fanis. Baker saw them perform in 1975 and became their manager, changing their name to Ol’ 55 after the Tom Waits song. Baker’s management was astute and presented the group as a combination of retro kitsch, rock music and clever theatrics. Baker introduced chartered accountant Peter Brian to the band, and he became their versatile front man Frankie J. Holden; in October, Baker recruited saxophone player Nick Aitken, who performed as Wilbur Wilde. Ol’ 55 had hit singles with On the Prowl, Looking for an Echo and the number one (I Want A) Rockin’ Christmas (which Baker co-wrote, as he did C’mon Let’s Do It) and a No. 2 triple platinum debut album, Take It Greasy. Both Holden and Wilde had careers in television after Ol’ 55. During 1976–1978 Baker also managed Punkz, which he moulded into the pop group Cheek, who had national chart success with So Much in Love.
