I Want You to Be My Baby
"I Want You to Be My Baby" is a jump blues song written by Jon Hendricks for Louis Jordan
whose recording - made 28 May 1953 - was an R&B hit that autumn.
In the summer of 1955 "I Want You to Be My Baby" was remade as the debut disc by comedy musical act
Lillian Briggs resulting in an expedient cover version by veteran vocalist Georgia Gibbs: producers
Hugo & Luigi had Gibbs fly in from her Massachusetts home to New York City on Wednesday 3 August 1955 to cut
"I Want You to Be My Baby" that same afternoon; New York City disc jockeys were provided with acetates of the Gibbs' version by the following morning with regular jockey copies being shipped out Friday 5 August 1955.
Neither version of the song would reach the Top Ten: Gibbs' version had the higher chart peak at #14 but it was the rough voiced Briggs - whose version peaked at #18 - who had the million seller.
Ellie Greenwich, who as a teenager saw Lillian Briggs sing her hit at Alan Freed's rock and roll shows, chose "I Want You to Be My Baby" as the song to launch her '60s career as a solo recording artist.
Produced by Bob Crewe, Greenwich's version reached #83 in the spring of 1967 marking her only US chart appearance as a recording artist (apart from her singles with The Raindrops).
She included the song on her 1968 debut solo album "Ellie Greenwich Composes, Pruduces and Sings".
In the UK Annie Ross - John Hendricks' future co-partner in Lambert, Hendricks & Ross - had an October 1955 single release of "I Want You to Be My Baby" recorded with Tony Crombie & His Orchestra: neither this disc nor a 1956 UK single release of "I Want You to Be My Baby" by Don Lang charted.
The song became a UK Top 40 hit in the autumn of 1968 via a recording by Billie Davis.
Produced by "Ready Steady Go!" co-host Michael Aldred and arranged by Mike Vickers, Davis' version featured a chorale comprising Madeline Bell, Kiki Dee, Kay Garner, Doris Troy and the Moody Blues.
The single's failure to rise no higher than #33 is attributable to a strike at the Decca processing plant, which stopped the pressing of discs.
In November 1970 the Jyve Fyve reached #50 R&B with their remake of "I Want You to Be My Baby".
The song has also been recorded by Jimmy and the Mustangs, Colin James, Lindisfarne, Natasha England, Janis Siegel, and Leslie Uggams.

It was also a hit for Chinese singer Grace Chang who performed the song in both Chinese (我要你的爱 "Wo Yao Ni de Ai") and English in the late 1950s.

James Brown
James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, musician, record producer and bandleader.
A progenitor of funk music and a major figure of 20th century music and dance, he is often referred to as the "Godfather of Soul" and
"Soul Brother
No. 1".
In a career that lasted over 50 years, he influenced the development of several music genres.
Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia.
He joined a rhythm and blues vocal group, the Gospel Starlighters (which later evolved into the Famous Flames) founded by Bobby Byrd, in which he was the lead singer.
First coming to national public attention in the late 1950s as a member of the singing group
The Famous Flames with the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a tireless live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra.
His success peaked in the 1960s with the live album "Live at the Apollo" and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New
BagI
Got You
(I Feel Good)" and
"It's a Man's Man's Man's World".
During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music-making that influenced the development of funk music.
By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of the J.B.s with records such as
"Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback".
He also became noted for songs of social commentary, including the 1968 hit "Say It Loud
– I'm Black
and I'm Proud".
Brown continued to perform and record until his death from pneumonia in 2006.
Brown recorded 17 singles that reached No. 1 on the "Billboard" R&B charts.

He also received honors from many other institutions, including inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In Joel Whitburn's analysis of the "Billboard" R&B charts from 1942 to 2010, Brown is ranked No. 1 in The Top 500 Artists.
He is ranked No. 7 on "Rolling Stone" list of its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. "
