About Annie Had a Baby
"Annie Had a Baby" is a 1954 rhythm and blues song, written by Henry Glover and Lois Mann and recorded by The Midnighters. The single was one of many answer songs to "Work with Me, Annie", a previous hit for The Midnighters. Like its predecessor, "Annie Had a Baby" was also a number one hit on the US Billboard R&B chart. A credible inspiration for this song was when a Los Angeles DJ played "Work with Me, Annie", then joked about a follow-up record titled "Annie Had a Baby", which caused King Records to receive orders for the then non-existing single. So the song was composed, recorded and released to fill the orders.
