"Rock Me Baby" is a blues standard that has become one of the most recorded blues songs of all time.[2] It originated as "Rockin' and Rollin'", a 1951 song by Lil' Son Jackson,[1] itself inspired by earlier blues. Renditions by Muddy Waters and B.B. King made the song well-known. When B.B. King's recording of "Rock Me Baby" was released in 1964, it became his first single to reach the Top 40 in Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart. In 2022, King's recording was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in the 'Classics of Blues Recording – Singles' category
