Barbara Ann Lewis (born February 9, 1943)[1] is an American singer and songwriter whose smooth style influenced rhythm and blues.

Lewis's first single release, the uptempo "My Heart Went Do Dat Da" in 1962, did not chart nationally, but was a local hit in the Detroit, Michigan area.

Lewis had moderate follow-up hits with "Straighten Up Your Heart" (#43) and her original "Puppy Love" (#38) before Bert Berns produced her million-seller "Baby I'm Yours" (U.S. #11), written by Van McCoy.

[5] "Baby I'm Yours" charted in versions by country singer Jody Miller and Debby Boone (the B-side of her single "God Knows").

In 2016, Barbara Lewis was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame.
