"Just the Way It Is, Baby" introduced the Rembrandts in 1990 as the first single from their self-titled debut on Atco, a song written by Phil Solem and Danny Wilde. It was a slow burner. It showed up on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart that year, then wandered onto the Hot 100 at 89 in February 1991 and stuck around for nineteen weeks, topping out at 14 in late April.
Parts of Europe fell for it even harder. It went top 10 in France, Austria and Germany, logging 16 weeks on the French chart, and did respectable business elsewhere on the continent, in Australia and in Canada.
