The classic-era lineup of the group was Leslie West on guitar, Felix Pappalardi on bass, Corky Laing on drums (the original drummer was N. D. Smart), and Steve Knight on piano and organ. West's raw vocals, Laing's flowing drumming, and Pappalardi's heavy but not overly imposing bass lines were the elements of Mountain's distinctive sound.
Mountain played at the Woodstock Festival but the band did not appear in the film of the event nor was it included on the first album. The group's first album, Climbing! was released in 1970 and featured the band's best-known song, "Mississippi Queen"; the song reached the middle of the top-40 charts and the album reached the top 20 on the US album charts.
The follow-up album Nantucket Sleighride (1971) also reached the top 20 on the US albums chart but failed to yield a hit single. (The title track from Nantucket Sleighride was used as the theme tune to the UK political and current affairs television program Weekend World, which was aired between 1972 and 1986). After these early releases the band continued to receive a certain measure of critical acclaim but never achieved great commercial success.
The band was inspired by legendary power trio Cream, which Pappalardi was an "unofficial" member of; he was featured heavily on Cream's second LP, Disraeli Gears. Following Mountain's initial breakup in 1972, West and Laing formed West, Bruce and Laing with Cream bassist Jack Bruce. They produced three albums.
In 1974 West and Pappalardi reformed Mountain with Allan Schwartzberg on drums and Robert Mann on keyboards. A tour yielded the live Twin Peaks followed by the studio album Avalanche, with Laing and rhythm guitarist David Perry, who as an African American was also credited for "added color." It was the last heard of from Mountain until the mid 1980s when West, sometimes with and sometimes without Laing, has worked under the name Mountain, New Mountain or the Leslie West Band.
On April 17, 1983 Gail Collins Pappalardi, Felix's wife and songwriting partner, shot him once in the neck in their fifth-floor East Side Manhattan apartment. He was pronounced dead at the scene and Gail was charged with second-degree murder, but acquitted. Richie Scarlet has taken over as bass player on the band's recent tours.

Baby I Love Your Way
Mountain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night (ooh)
Far away from the city
'Cause your love just won't wait, ayy-yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day, yeah
I wanna tell you I love your way, every day, yeah
I wanna be with you night and day
The moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
Well, I can see them under the pine
But don't, whoa no, no, hesitate, la-di-da
'Cause your love just won't wait, ayy-yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day, yeah
I wanna tell you I love your way, every day, ayy-yeah
I wanna be with you night and day
Whoa baby, oh baby, please, every day
How I love, how I love you, oh
I love your way
Ooh, baby please
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey, and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season
But don't, whoa no, no, hesitate, la-di-da
'Cause your love just won't wait (ayy-yeah), just won't wait
Ooh, baby, I love your way, every, every day
I wanna tell you I love your way
(I wanna tell you, how I love your little ways)
I wanna be with you night and day (every day and every way)
Billi-aboo-dee-dee-da-di-do-sta-da-bee-yeah
Ooh, baby, I love your way (ooh baby)
(How I love your little ways, yeah)
I wanna tell you I love your way (I wanna tell you how I)
(I wanna tell you how I love your little ways)
I wanna be with you night and day
(Biddi-aboo-see-da-ja-bee-da-di-yeah)
Ooh, baby, I love your way (ooh, baby, baby, baby)
The lyrics of Mountain’s song Baby I Love Your Way are a declaration of love from the singer to their lover. The singer expresses their love in every possible way and describes how they witness different things while they are together. The use of the word “every day” throughout the song emphasizes the depth and consistency of their love. The first verse creates a vivid image of shadows growing long and covering the page, symbolizing the worries and obstacles of everyday life. However, the singer feels that their love is strong enough to overcome everything and they reassure their lover to never hesitate to come to them whenever they need love.
The second verse describes a serene moment where looking at the sky filled with stars and fireflies it makes the singer ponder over the beauty of nature and their relationship. The lines “I can see them under the pine” metaphorically convey how the singer sees their love through the beauty of nature. Continuing to reassure their love, they confess to wanting to be with their lover every moment of every day. The final verse describes the sunset and how the singer sees a reflection of it in their lover’s eyes. The clouds in the sky are seen as obstacles for the sunshine just like the worries of life, but the singer asserts that they will be with their lover every day and in every way possible to overcome them.

I blast this and dance around the house making breakfast in the morning. Kids think I’m crazy, but when I’m dead and gone, they’ll remember these moments and this song. Just as I have.
