"Cry Baby" is a song originally recorded by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters, in 1963, and later recorded by rock singer Janis Joplin in 1970. Bert Berns wrote the song with Jerry Ragovoy. Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters recorded it for the United Artists record label. It topped the R&B chart and went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963,[1] paving the way for soul hits by Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding later in the decade.[2] The third verse was spoken by Mimms until the repeated refrain of the repeated song title.[3] In Canada the song reached #5 on the CHUM Charts.[4]
