Baby, It's You by Smith (1969)





Now here is a song that was uncovered(for me) by Quentin Tarantino in his 2007 movie, Death Proof. I remember hearing this song on the soundtrack and being blown away by the vocal. The Beatles had previously covered this Burt Bacharach number, but this version stands out more to my ears due to the outstanding vocal performance.

The performance in the clip above is from a short-lived ABC popular music show called The Music Scene, hosted by David Steinberg and Lily Tomlin. Smith' s lead singer, Gayle McCormick died earlier this year at the young age of 67. RIP.
