Peter Frampton wrote "Baby, I Love Your Way" and first put it out in September 1975 on Frampton, his fourth album, where it drifts in straight out of "Nassau". That studio single barely moved, but the song got a second wind on Frampton Comes Alive! in 1976: the live take climbed to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three in Canada, arriving between "Show Me the Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do".
It's mostly acoustic, a soft-lit love song sung with a light, tender touch, and the trade papers spotted the hook in that title line straight away. Decades later it gave Frampton a point to make about the streaming economy: in 2017 he told lawmakers in Washington that 55 million streams of it had earned him just $1,700.
