"Comin' Home Baby" is a song originally written as an instrumental by Ben Tucker and first recorded by the Dave Bailey Quintet in 1961. It was then recorded by Herbie Mann, and lyrics were written by Bob Dorough. The vocal version became a US Top 40 hit for American jazz singer Mel Tormé in 1962, and the song has since been covered numerous times.
The tune was first recorded by the Dave Bailey Quintet on 6 October 1961, and issued on 2 Feet in the Gutter. It was composed by Dave Bailey's bassist, Ben Tucker. The original musicians were Frank Haynes (tenor saxophone), Bill Hardman (trumpet), Billy Gardner (piano), Ben Tucker (bass), and Dave Bailey (drums).
The tune was then recorded six weeks later by Herbie Mann, live at the Village Gate, with Tucker again on bass. Mann's recording, produced by Nesuhi Ertegun and released by Atlantic Records in 1962, became popular and drew wider attention to the tune.
Tucker then persuaded his friend, lyricist Bob Dorough (later of Schoolhouse Rock! fame), to write a lyric for the tune, and producer Nesuhi Ertegun persuaded singer Mel Tormé, who had recently joined the Atlantic label, to record it. Tormé was initially reluctant to record the song, and later wrote that: "It was a minor-key blues tune with trite repetitious lyrics and an 'answer' pattern to be sung by the Cookies, a girl trio that had once worked for Ray Charles". The recording took place in New York City on 13 September 1962.
Comin' Home Baby! is a 1962 studio album by Mel Tormé.

Downward Is Heavenward is the fourth and thus far final studio album by the Champaign, Illinois post-hardcore band Hum. It was released on January 27, 1998 by RCA Records.
Despite selling fewer copies than its predecessor You'd Prefer an Astronaut, the album was critically acclaimed. Brent DiCrescenzo from Pitchfork Media praised the abrasive but graceful nature of the album, writing, "A listen to Downward Is Heavenward actually scrubs off a layer of skin, yet Hum still manage to infuse grace and control into their skyward swirl." Ned Ragget from Allmusic wrote, "Having scored their fluke hit with 'Stars', Hum hunkered down and created a follow-up album that went nowhere, leading to the band's splintering. An unfortunate result all around, because, arguably, Downward Is Heavenward isn't merely the group's best album, but a lost classic of '90s rock, period." In 1999, Pitchfork Media placed the album at #81 on their top 100 albums of the 1990s.
"Comin' Home" is a song written and recorded by Canadian acoustic artist City and Colour. It was released in 2006 as the second single from the album Sometimes.
The lyrics tell a story of a man who travels extensively, deeply missing his attached lover, and mentions traveling on Canada's Highway 1 in hopes of seeing her.
The music video was directed by Chris Sargent. It is in black and white and shows Dallas playing in different rooms, with scenes showing a woman in (what appears to be) some of the same rooms, but never at the same time as Dallas. The song is referenced in a Cancer Bats music video where a group of men (played by the band members, along with Alexisonfire vocalist George Pettit and producer Greg Below) sing the song at the end.
