A very nice gifted reaction 🎁! Don't feel bad 👸🏾. Baby Come To Me was released as the third single from Patti Austin's 1981 album: Every Home Should Have One. It was written by Rod Temperton. It was produced by Quincy Jones. Michael McDonald sings background vocals on the song. The song reached #1 on the Hot 100, #1 on the Adult Contemporary chat, #2 on the Cash Box 100 and #9 on the R&B chart. The song was initially released in 1981 from Patti Austin's album: Every Home Should Have One. In May of 1982, it peaked at #73 on the US charts. Months later, the song found new life when it was used for a scene in the ABC soap opera General Hospital. ABC got lots of calls and letters about the song, and Warner Brothers Records decided to re-release the song as a single due to popular demand. It hit #1 in February 1983. After two weeks at #1 on the Hot 100, the song was replaced by Michael Jackson's song: "Billie Jean", which was also produced by Quincy Jones.
