"Baby I Love You" is a popular song by R&amp;B singer Aretha Franklin. The only single release from her "Aretha Arrives" album in 1967, the song was a huge hit, peaking at number 4 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 Singles chart and spending two weeks at number-one on the Hot Rhythm &amp; Blues Singles chart. In the UK, the song rose to number 39 in August 1967, spending four weeks on the chart. It was featured in Martin Scorsese's 1990 film "Goodfellas". A live performance appears on the album "Aretha in Paris" (1968). 
Georgian songwriter Ronnie Shannon, newly arrived in Detroit, met Franklin's husband and manager Ted White by chance at a barbershop. White requested Shannon write some songs specifically for Franklin. Shannon delivered "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and "Baby I Love You"—two tremendous successes.
"Billboard" described the single as a "driving rocker" that is "brought to life in this electric performance by Miss Franklin."
