May I Baby (History of)

Also, when we thought about what we were doing with the music, we knew

We had an amazing ballad with "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby

" But there was a B-side on one of the earlier records that we knew

Was a great, great song. And we would say to Sam and Dave, "Guys

You ought to incorporate this song in your show." That song is "May

I, Baby." The instrumental track that you'll hear when you hear "May

I, Baby," you'll hear a slow song but with a lift to it that's not

Quite slow like a ballad. But the message and the meaning of it

Speaks of a space of a romantic kind of song. But we had a lift to

The musical track because we were not sure that we were taking

A smart move when we were thinking in terms of "We ought to

Record a ballad on Sam & Dave." We were having such success with

The uptempo, we didn't want to go too far into that vein. So we

Recorded the song with just a little bit of increased tempo on

It but had a feeling of a ballad. And it was a great, great song

For us, a great song for their shows, and very exciting. But we

Also, Isaac and I both, also love the musical arrangement of

That song. And we think that the instrumental version in this

Album is a great compliment to it. I hope you feel the same way
