:''This article is about the song recorded by The Supremes. For other uses, see Baby Love (disambiguation).''
"'Baby Love'" is a 1964 number-one hit recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, "Baby Love," one of the most popular songs of the late 20th century, was the Supremes' most successful single. It was the number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for four weeks, from October 25, 1964 to November 21, 1964. It was also the second of five Supremes songs in a row to go to number one (the others are "Where Did Our Love Go," "Come See About Me," "Stop! In the Name of Love," and "Back in My Arms Again").
It is no small coincidence that "Baby Love" and its immediate predecessor, "Where Did Our Love Go," sound a lot alike: producers Holland-Dozier-Holland (H-D-H) worked into the new song all of the elements that had made the previous song a big hit: Diana Ross' cooing lead vocal, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson's "baby-baby" backup, the Funk Brothers' instrumental track, and teenager Mike Valvano's footstomping. H-D-H hoped they could make lightning strike twice and succeeded, as "Baby Love" was an even bigger hit than "Where Did Our Love Go."
Beginning with "Baby Love", the Supremes became the first Motown act to have more than one number one single, and also became the Motown act with the most number one singles, a record they never lost, still hold in 2007, with a total of 12 number one singles. Stevie Wonder follows with 10.
"Baby Love" was included on the Supremes' second studio album, ''Where Did Our Love Go'', and was later included on the soundtrack to the 1975 feature film ''Cooley High''. It was nominated for the 1965 Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Recording, losing to Nancy Wilson's "How Glad I Am".
Tim Curry performed a rare cover version of the song produced by Lou Adler.
White Mud Blues Band from Detroit also used this as a theme song in 1969 during their demolishion of the Crows Nest East Club July 18 1969.
