- "Baby Face" is a popular Tin Pan Alley jazz song written in 1926. The first recording of it was by Jan Garber and his Orchestra, featuring lyricist Benny Davis singing the chorus only. The record was a number one hit in 1926.
"Baby Face" was performed and recorded by many recording artists of the time, including Al Jolson. An instrumental version of the song was used in the 1933 film Baby Face starring Barbara Stanwyck. In 1958, Little Richard recorded his version of the song. In 1962, American singer Bobby Darin recorded a version as a single.
In 1974, in the Paul McCartney and Wings special One Hand Clapping, McCartney performed the song at a piano, a recording of which was released on the 2024 album of the same name. He later sang the song on his 2007 Secret Tour.
On December 31, 1976, bandleader Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians kicked off their New Year's Eve concert (a tradition since 1929), with an instrumental performance of the song on CBS television.
A version done by the Muppet Chickens appears on The Muppet Show 2 album. This version was also performed by Muppet performers, in character as the chickens, at Jim Henson's memorial service in 1990 during a segment where they performed Henson's favorite songs.
