Inside Out (Philip Bailey)

Don't Leave Me Baby

Home

5. Don't Leave Me Baby:****: Among the better solo efforts ever by Philip Bailey. Moderately slow ballad with a rock appeal. Bailey sings with falsetto urgency throughout each verse, then handles all of the background vocals at the end. This song reminds me of The Beatles Number 9 Song in that each vocalist is overdubbed singing a different phrase, yet it all comes together. Bailey does the same thing here adding a nice climax where he hits high notes from another planet and it works brilliantly.
