“Baby, It’s You” (Smith) #5 11/1/1969

A rarity in that Burt Bacharach didn’t write this with Hal David - he wrote it with Hal’s brother Mack David and Luther Dixon (a.k.a. Barney Williams). Originally done by the Shirelles in 1961 and remade by the Beatles for their first album, this version by the group called Smith was a little grittier. Gayle McCormick’s lead vocals are just smokin’. The band was discovered by Del Shannon.
