Cry Like a Baby (album)

Cry Like a Baby is a 1968 album by The Box Tops. The title song was released as a single and reached #2 in April 1968 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position which it held for two weeks. It was kept out of the top spot by Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey".^[1] The original vinyl album concludes with a slow version of the "You Keep Me Hangin' On", which was a hit for The Supremes in the fall of 1966. The Box Tops version is similar to, but shorter than, the version recorded by Vanilla Fudge on its 1967 debut album.
