"Have You Seen My Baby?" is a song written by American pianist and singer-songwriter Randy Newman and recorded by American pianist Fats Domino as the B-side to Domino's "Make Me Belong to You", later recorded by its original songwriter Newman for his 1970 album 12 Songs. In 1973, Ringo Starr covered it for his album Ringo.
"Have You Seen My Baby?" was originally released by American pianist Fats Domino, but was covered by Randy Newman as a tribute to Domino.
AllMusic critic Matthew Greenwald stated for a review of Newman's version of the song that "Drawing on his love of Fats Domino and other New Orleans-based rhythm & blues music, Newman's song sounds like an outtake from a mid-'50s Domino session." praising it for being a "simple torch rocker and shows Newman's versatility of different musical forms."
In 1973, English drummer and Beatles drummer Ringo Starr recorded a cover version for his album Ringo, released as the second track on the album.
The recording of Starr's version commenced on March 5, 1973, when the backing track was recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders. The last known date for recording sessions concluded on July 11.
