Smith with Gayle McCormick - Baby’ It’s You (live Performance October 19th,1969)(Stereo Mixed)

“Baby It’s You“ is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music), Luther Dixon (credited as Barney Williams),and Mack David (lyrics). It was recorded by the Shirelles and the Beatles and was a hit for both. The highest-charting version of “Baby It’s You“ was by the band Smith, who took the track to number 5 on the US charts in 1969. Smith’s version appeared on their debut album, A Group Called Smith. The single was released on Dunhill Records in 1969. It was their first and most successful release. This version, arranged by Del Shannon who “discovered“ the group, alters the traditional vocal arrangement as performed by the Shirelles and the Beatles in favor of a more belted, soulful vocal.[citation needed] The single hit number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was ranked number 28 in Billboard’s year-end chart of 1969.[21] The Smith version was used in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.
