When My Baby's Beside Me - Big Star

When My Baby's Beside Me - Big Star
3:23
#1 Record, 1972
Written by Chris Bell and Alex Chilton

This brief power-pop gem is a masterclass in power pop economy — a lyrically direct and emotionally straightforward love song, yet musically rich. Built on a driving groove, the track balances toughness and sweetness, with Alex Chilton and Chris Bell’s chiming guitars locking into a tight, muscular rhythm. The chorus is catchy, the vocals are soulful, and the wah-wah guitar solo screams 1972.
