Baby I
Written By Bruce Springsteen and George Theiss in 1965
Recorded in May of 1965 with Bruce's first band The Castiles during their first ever studio session. 'Baby I'
is a very catchy pop tune that is unfortunately repetitive, but very Beatles-ish. The harmonizing between
these kids fresh out of high school makes it seem like they have been playing for many years.
