As as a small boy I can remember distinctly the first two songs I heard, I'm guessing it'd be about 1978, I was playing with my toys and the radio was on, I stopped playing to listen to "Reach Out I'll Be There" and then another song which I've only heard once more since (about 1990) there's a story to that too but I won't go into that now.

I can only remember the chorus, and I've gone through the usual suspects (The Equals and David Ruffin although David Ruffin is the closest sound to it) so I can only write the words as I remember them as few as they are.

It doesn't help that I've had music on, bloody ironing!

It goes, "baby come back, cos I'm nothing without your love" it sounded a lot like David Ruffin but the tempo was different.

Jimmy Ruffin even, whoops.lol

Hall & Oates - Baby Come Back

?

Which Jimmy Ruffin song are you saying it isn't, are you referring to Hold On To My Love?

Hall & Oates - Baby Come Back

?

 

I was thinking of that, I think, I'll go and check - yes it is, but I wouldn't have got the artist, just the song - well done mate

 

i remember  baby come back in the charts by a group called Player very similar to the Hall and Oats version. Which came first?

Bugger - thats the version I knew too, not Hall & Oates

Nope, that ain't it, sounded like The Four Tops.

I've remembered a bit more of it (haven't got other songs rattling around my head), "come back, baby I'm scared, cos I'm nothing without your love."

Yes El Corrol that's the one I think it wasn't.

Hall and oates never did baby come back to my knowledge. It was Player and the you tube clip is Player and says so in f***ing big letters. Why someone has put it up as Hall and Oates I've no idea. Anyway it appears it's not that one anyway.
