Baby, Don't You Do It by The Who (1971)


This 1964 Marvin Gaye tune was most famously covered by the Band(with the title Don't Do It).That's the signature version for me, as huge fan of the Band and of the Last Waltz, in particular.

The Who had covered this song live in '65. They got around to recording this studio version in 1971 with help from Mountain's Leslie West on lead guitar. Ultimately, this was included in a Who's Next re-issue in the 90's. This song fits right in with arguably their best studio album.
