"Ooo Baby Baby" is a 1965 hit single by The Miracles for the Tamla (Motown) label, today considered the group's signature song.
A slow, remorseful number, "Ooh Baby Baby" features Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson lamenting the fact that he cheated on his woman, and begging for her to overlook his mistakes and please forgive him. The song's highly emotional feel is supported by the Miracles' background harmonies, and a lush orchestral arrangement that accents the Funk Brothers band's instrumental track.
Written by Robinson and Pete Moore and produced by Robinson, "Ooh Baby Baby" was a #4 hit on the Billboard magazine R&B singles chart, and reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100.
