I've Got to Find My Baby
Words & Music:
Joy ByersI've got to find my baby
I wonder where can she be
Has anybody seen her
Send her back to me
She left me here all alone
And I ain't had no lovin'
Since my baby's been gone
My baby's gone
I've gotta find my baby
I gotta hold her tight and tell her I love her
Tell her everything's all right
So I'll keep searching
All night long
'Cause I ain't had no lovin'
Since my baby's been gone
My baby's gone
I've gotta find my baby
I've gotta find my baby
Gotta find my baby Recorded:

I like this one. It contains another good sax solo by Boots. For those who don't dig it, it's over before you know it.
I agree with Steve in that this was an attempt at trying to sound like the Beatles. This failed miserably and the whole production is totally disjointed, and although I go on about adding echo to this ssoundtrack to improve the songs, it still does not rescue this one from the abyss.
A just ok song that tries to be a rocker. Very short and poorly produced, it probably could have been better. I dont like the Jords doing the octave raise on the word 'gone' Sort of sounded like they were trying to be The Beatles on Twist & Shout but not sounding as hip.
Another nice rocker from "Girl Happy" that features Elvis and Jordinaires doing their imitation of Danny and The Juniors on "At The Hop" and "Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay". Elvis says "gone" and then a Jordinaire takes it up an octave. This song would have been good enough to be a single had Elvis re-recorded it. He sounds rushed on this one and after getting the FTD version of "Girl Happy", it is obvious that he put so much more into "Do Not Disturb" and some of the others, then he did this one. Still it works well in the movie and album.
