"Wonderful Baby" is a song written and originally recorded by Don McLean. It is a track on his album, Homeless Brother, and a tribute to Fred Astaire. The single peaked at number ninety-three on the Billboard Hot 100 and became McLean's second and last number one on the Easy Listening chart.  "Wonderful Baby" also reached number one on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.

Record World said that "Portraying heaven as a place where soaring cherubs count their digits, McLean performs a top 40 lullabye which should fly higher than any since 'Vincent.'"
