"Daddy's Home" is a famous song by American doo-wop group Shep and the Limelites.
The song was written by the three members of the band, James "Shep" Sheppard (1935–1970), Clarence Bassett (1936–2005) and Charles Baskerville.
[3][4] The song is an example of James Sheppard's legacy of composing of rock 'n' roll's first-ever song cycle titles, telling the story of a relationship, beginning with going home to his girl, and further twists along the way, like getting married, celebrating their anniversary, problems encountered etc.
The song was covered by many artists including P. J. Proby (1970), Frank Zappa (1971),[11] Jermaine Jackson (1972), Toots and the Maytals (Funky Kingston 1973), The Carpenters (‘’Live In Japan’’ 1974, Richard Carpenter lead), Junior English, and Cliff Richard (1981).
British singer Cliff Richard released a live version as a single for the Christmas period in 1981.
