"Baby You're Right" is a song by Joe Tex. He recorded it for Anna Records in 1961. Tex re-recorded "Baby You're Right" for Checker Records in 1965.

James Brown recording

Later in 1961, James Brown recorded the song, altering the melody and lyrics and adding a songwriting credit for himself. Released as a single on King Records, his version was a hit, charting #2 R&B and #49 Pop in 1962.[1] It also appeared on the album Think! in 1960, and later on Papa's Got a Brand New Bag in 1965. An alternate take of the song was included in the 1991 box set Star Time.[2]
