Come Back Baby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Come Back Baby" is a slow blues number recorded by singer Ray Charles and released as the b-side to Charles' groundbreaking 1954 single, "I Got a Woman". The song got popular airplay on the R&B charts at the time and was issued as a single where it eventually peaked at number four on the R&B singles chart.

Aretha Franklin later covered the song in a faster-paced version in 1967. Footage of Franklin recording the song can be found in a PBS documentary about her life.
