Wikipedia article
'"Good to My Baby"' is a song composed by Brian Wilson with words by Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys.
Composition
Author Philip Lambert wrote that the song "has all the earmarks of a classic feel-good Beach Boys song: powerful, catchy vocals, including back-and-forth leads between Brian and Mike [Love], a clean, tight instrumental track, and a straightforward message about the rewards and benefits of monogamy." Scott Interrante of PopMatters claimed that the song was "a solidly written song reminiscent of the group's earlier singles: sophisticated but digestible and fun" and went on to claim that "when its juxtaposed against songs like 'When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)' and 'Please Let Me Wonder', it shows us just how impressive those other songs really are."
Other appearances
Aside from its appearance on 'Today!', "Good to My Baby" has since been released on numerous compilation albums. The song appeared on the British release of 'Best of The Beach Boys Vol. 2', as well as 1975's 'Spirit of America', the follow-up to the band's hugely successful 1974 compilation album, 'Endless Summer'. More recently, the song has appeared on albums such as the box set 'The Capitol Years', the compilation album 'Summer Love Songs', and the rarities collection 'Hawthorne, CA'.
