"Wonderful Baby" is a song written and originally recorded by Don McLean. It is a track on his album, Homeless Brother, and a tribute to Fred Astaire. The single peaked at number ninety-three on the Billboard Hot 100 and became McLean's second and last number one on the Easy Listening chart.[1] "Wonderful Baby" also reached number one on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.[2]

Record World said that "Portraying heaven as a place where soaring cherubs count their digits, McLean performs a top 40 lullabye which should fly higher than any since 'Vincent.'"[3]
