“Baby I Need Your Loving” foi o primeiro single de sucesso do grupo The Four Tops, atingindo o número onze no Billboard Hot 100 em 1964.
Foi também o primeiro single que vendeu mais de um milhão de cópias para a Motown.
A produção e composição foram feitas pelos renomados Holland‑Dozier‑Holland, com Brian e Edward Holland e Lamont Dozier no comando.
O vocal principal do hit foi Levi Stubbs, enquanto os vocais de apoio vieram de Renaldo “Obie” Benson, Lawrence Payton e Abdul “Duke” Fakir, completados pelos backing vocalists The Andantes (Jackie Hicks, Marlene Barrow e Louvain Demps).
A faixa contou com a instrumentação dos Funk Brothers e a orquestração da Detroit Symphony Orchestra (sétimas).
A música foi gravada em 1964, mas foi regravada por artistas como Johnny Rivers (1967), O.C. Smith (1970) e Eric Carmen (1979), cada um alcançando diferentes posições nas paradas.
