"Baby Face" is a popular Tin Pan Alley jazz song.
The music was written by Harry Akst, with lyrics by Benny Davis, and the song was published in 1926.
The first recording of it was by Jan Garber and his Orchestra, featuring lyricist Benny Davis singing the chorus only.
The first full version of the song sung on record was released later that same year by Whispering Jack Smith, backed on piano by Arthur Johnston.
An instrumental version of the song was used in the 1933 film Baby Face starring Barbara Stanwyck.
On December 31, 1976, bandleader Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians kicked off their New Year's Eve concert (a tradition since 1929), with an instrumental performance of the song on CBS television.
In 1978, actress-singer Cheryl Ladd performed the song as a song-and-dance number on the "General Electric All Star Anniversary" TV show, aired by American Broadcasting Company on September 29, 1978.
A parody, retitled "Baby Pants", was used in a Luvs diapers TV commercial in the 1980s.
