It later topped the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the US on 3 July 1982 where it stayed for three weeks. In 2015 the song was
Baby What You Want Me to Do wife, Mama Reed." Mama Reed can be heard at the recording session for the song: Of note, nowhere in the song do the lyrics "baby what you want me to do" appear, although later cover versions would often wrongly include the phrase in place of the original "baby why you wanna let go." "Baby What You Want Me to Do" was included on Jimmy Reed's second album "Found Love" (1960), the "Jimmy Reed at Carnegie Hall" album (1961), as well as numerous compilation albums. "Baby What You Want Me to Do" reached number 10 in the "Billboard" R&B chart and
