It was first released in 1998 on the album Man to Woman: Men of Note Sing for a Cause. Its best result is #232 on the River 500 (2022). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #1,511 classic rock song of all time.
Peter Frampton wrote and produced "Baby, I Love Your Way", first placing it on his fourth album, Frampton, where it drifts in straight out of "Nassau", and A&M issued it as a single in September 1975. That studio single didn't sell well. The live version on Frampton Comes Alive!, the 1976 album that went multi-platinum, is the one that stuck, climbing to number 12 on the Hot 100 and number three in Canada.
The trade papers saw it coming: Billboard heard an easy rocker with its hook right where Frampton sings the title, Cash Box praised a mostly acoustic tune sung tenderly over a gentle backing, and Record World had it headed for the top. Frampton held it up to lawmakers in Washington, D.C., in 2017 as proof of how little streaming pays: 55 million streams had earned him $1,700.
