Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore

"Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore" is a song originally recorded and made a minor hit by Ruby & the Romantics in 1965.[1] It appeared on their Greatest Hits album, and was released as a single on Kapp Records K-665 in April of that year.[2][3] On The Romantics' original version, the song's composer is listed as Lawrence (Larry) Weiss.[1] Although it was originally a B-side to the standard "We'll Meet Again", "Your Baby" received considerably more R&B radio airplay, but did not reach the Billboard Hot 100, only managing #8 on the Bubbling Under chart.[4]
