Produced by Quincy Jones, the song appears on Austin 's 1981 album, Every Home Should Have One. When first released as a single, it charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for just four weeks, peaking at # 73 on May 8, 1982.. It did, however, reach # 11 in the UK. Later that year, it gained new exposure as the romantic theme song for Luke Spencer, a leading character on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. ABC received so many inquiries about the song that Warner Brothers decided to re-release `` Baby, Come to Me '' as a single. On October 16, 1982, the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100. It reached number one on February 19, 1983, where it stayed for two weeks, and spent seven months on the Hot 100. It also hit number one on the Adult Contemporary chart in early 1983.
