Talk:Baby What You Want Me to Do

Although they share the same titles, the "Baby What You Want Me to Do" credited to Jimmy Reed is a different song than that credited to Ailene Bullock. Reed is credited with the version he recorded in 1959 for Vee-Jay Records. Ailene Bullock, Tina Turner's sister, is credited (sometimes along with Turner as "Anna Mae Bullock", her maiden name) for "Baby (What You Want Me to Do)", a funk-influenced R&B song Ike & Tina Turner recorded that is included on the Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter (album). The songs are different lyrically and musically. As with other songs with the same title, confusion arises, even with the performer's own record label, so liner notes, etc. are often incorrect. To compound the problem, Ike & Tina recorded a version of Jimmy Reed's song, which is usually (but not always) called "You Got Me Running". Ojorojo (talk) 02:38, 28 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
