"Take Good Care of My Baby" is a song written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and made famous by Bobby Vee, released in 1961. It became a popular song and hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in September. In 1968, it became a hit for Bobby Vinton, reaching #33 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song was covered by The Beatles during their January 1, 1962 audition at Decca Records. Dion also recorded a version, though it was not released as a single. Gary Lewis & The Playboys recorded a cover version in 1965 on their "She's Just My Style" album. It has also been covered by Smokie (Solid Ground, 1981) and Sasha (Dick This, 2003).

Vee re-recorded the song as a ballad in 1973 on his album "Ain't Nothing Like a Sunny Day" (released under his real name, Robert Thomas Velline). His original version remains a staple of oldies radio stations.
