I Ain't Mad at You Pretty Baby
ray charles & the maxin trio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love makes me treat you the way that I do
Baby, ain't I good to you
Nothing in this world too good for a girl, so good and true
Whoa, baby, ain't I good to you?

I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring, yes I did
And a big Cadillac car, and everything

What makes me treat you the way that I do
It must be love, baby
That's why I'm so good to you

I bought you a fur coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring
And a great big Eldorado and everything

It must be love that makes me treat you

The way that I do, gee
Baby, ain't I good to you?

Overall Meaning

The song Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You by Ray Charles is a love song that talks about the extent to which the singer loves and cares for his partner. The chorus has a rhetorical question that asks the partner whether the singer is not good to them, which shows the singer's awareness of the things he does for his partner.

The first verse shows the singer's devotion to his partner and his efforts to make her feel loved and appreciated. He mentions that there's nothing too good for his partner and does what he can to show her how true his love is. The second verse then reveals some of the material things the singer has bought for his partner to show his love. He mentions a fur coat, a diamond ring, and a big Cadillac car, which are all evidence of his love.

The song's theme is love, and it portrays how love can change a person's behavior towards their partner. It shows that in a relationship, love should be expressed through actions and not just words. The singer emphasizes how much he loves his partner and does everything to show it.

Bewitched was actually renewed and all the actors/actresses went home expecting to come back but then got notice it was cancelled. The suspected and most likely reason is that
Elizabeth Montgomery, who was married to the producer, began having an affair with the director.

What is he talking about when he says, “We’ll never know how the show would have been different if Dick Sergeant was cast as Darren?” When Dick York left the show due to intense back pains from an old injury, he was replaced by Dick Sergeant as Darren!

@whimseyOFC

I think he is referring to how different the show would be if it was like this from the very beginning. Its not really rocket science to understand that. Dick didnt play darren from the very beginnikg, but the content creator is asking how different things would be if that where the case.

To be factual, during the last season, Montgomery was married to director-producer William Asher. During that season “Montgomery fell in love with director Richard Michaels. Their resulting affair led to the end of both of their marriages, as well as the end of the series.” The ensuing friction and divorce contributed to the ending of the show. Tragic, but true and easily confirmed by a web search. Still, one of my favorite shows.

There were, in fact, SEVEN girls who played Tabitha/Tabatha. One infant, and two other sets of twins before the Murphy sisters. And NO, the Murphy twins did not receive "equal credit for the part." In only one episode (where Erin was ill and could not work), her sister Diane played Tabatha and got her ONLY screen credit. That was also the last time Diane played Tabitha as her appearance began to differ from her sister as they grew. They are fraternal, not identical, twins.

Packed in like sardines I asked her , " can I go back to your room with you"? To which she responded in that "Genie" voice we love so much, " oh no, I'm sorry, no, but I am flattered" ! I was only 17 or 18 and high as hell ! But it was a very CLASSY reaction by her. I'm sure she's had to turn down thousands. I've always wondered what the other people in the elevator thought ?

Dick York did NOT just have severe backpain. He had to let go of the role was because during a videotaping of an episode his problem was so intense he actually collapsed in front of the camera. As for Elizabeth Montgomery she had colon cancer and eventually crossed over as a result. Bewitched did NOT end while Dick York was on the show. Dick York did a very few acting jobs after becoming extremely ill. He was practically broke. He received a very small amount of money in his actor's retirement fund. It was NOT enough for him to take care of his family as he and his wife had 5 children to support The family ended up on welfare. I read Dick York owned a building, and had tenants living in the building. Unfortunately, none of them was paying him rent, & as a result he lost the house after he became extremely ill.. He did become well enough to work, but not as a performer.. He and his wife obtained employment cleaning offices. They also collected recyclables. The family lost their home, moved into a building that somehow was connected to his wife. Unfortunately, I don't remember how, but the house was NOT in great condition but the family somehow managed. Unfortunately Dick York had emphysema and was a heavy smoker. He also was drinking a lot and taking pain killers to abstain from the pain, making his problem worse.

Thank you for that actual information. It's always heart-wrenching when someone we almost felt we knew, and that we saw every night in our lounge rooms, falls into such terribly hard times and poverty. God bless Dick York.
I was a middle manager, alternating with being a trained teacher, and I had a patchy but respectable career for 20 years or so before my life fell apart with personal issues and mental health issues, a failed business, losing my life savings and the respect of my friends and family, and a ruined marriage. The last half of my life has been a mixture of doing cleaning work in empty buildings at odd hours, and stints on welfare. Sometimes months have gone by and I can't afford a haircut. Things are slowly improving; but the point of saying this is that I can really relate to how Dick York must have felt going from America's favorite husband to cleaning toilets at 6 a.m.

Agnes Moorehead was a part of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theater on the Air, and played Margot Lane alongside Welles’ leading role in the original The Shadow radio program in 1937. Welles left after the first year, but Moorehead stayed on for another year. She’s also in several scenes of Citizen Kane. They remained close until Agnes died, with Welles following shortly behind. As if that weren’t enough, she was also the central character in a Twilight Zone episode with no dialogue. There was no dialogue in the episode until the final seconds, and it didn’t come from her. Amazing woman.

The narrator got his "Richards" mixed up. I think at 1:40 he meant to say "Richard Crenna" when he said "Sargent" was in the running for Darrin, not Richard (Dick) Sargent - who later became Darrin. He later said Sargent later passed on the role to play Richard Crenna (the real actor???) while showing a picture of Richard Crenna.

Reading some of these comments is heartbreaking 💔 to hear how Dick York suffered with back pain amongst other upsetting things going on in his life. Makes me so sad…😢 why didn’t Mr York receive any rent from his tenants? Why would they treat him like that knowing what he was going through. Why are some people so very selfish..I for one loved Bewitched I especially adored the old Aunty who collected doorknobs ( sorry can’t remember her name) always ended up in the fireplace or somewhere weird…haha 😂😂 it’s sad to think Mr York looked and acted so happy and care free on the program yet behind the scenes he was going through so much….😢😢😢😢

Elizabeth Montgomery really was so beautiful. Definitely a talented actress who made the show a hit. Both the ending of Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery had sad endings. Tragedy. I loved the nosey neighbor, Gladys, but I had no idea that she also was ill and also ended. Bewitched was something I watched faithfully as a kid in ‘69-‘72 & then, I think later, in reruns. Of course, I was in New Zealand, not the US. Actually, I named my horse “Samantha” after Bewitched. But, so interesting to learn of the two movie influences for this show.

Didn't mention that Agnes Moorehead also died of cancer. However I think she got hers from working on "The Conqueror" about Gengis Khan. That movie made in late 1950's starred John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and of course Agnes was in it too. They filmed in New Mexico dessert area to look like Mongolia, as sand color and terrain is very similar. Unfortunately for these actors and stage crew members, is this fact... They were pretty much in barren Atom bomb, nuclear testing area. Yup, all the 1940's and 1950's radiation from all these tests was right around them! Plus they were on this "set" for many months filming, while staying in trailers, tents, etc.
Many actors and hands stated it was very windy some days and there was dust all over. Was radioactive particles they breathed in for some time, and were all quite exposed for staying such a long time of months. I also wonder where they were getting all their water from, too?! My point... Wayne, Hayward, Moorehead, and like 90% of all the actors, crew and stage hands all eventually died of various kinds of cancer. Great, rarely seen movie, but in a way it's too bad Howard Hughes even made this film. So many people got ill and died from making this movie! So sad! Rarely know fact... Susan Hayward died of a cancerous brain tumor, and her last movie she made was about a woman with a brain tumor and was titled "I want to Live". Again, so sad. A great actress who was beautiful, talented and I truly like watching her old films.

My dad was a lieutenant colonel in the Marine corps in command of one of those nuclear bomb tests in New Mexico in the 1950s. My mom showed me an old newspaper clipping regarding the event. He was 5 mi from ground zero. He died from an accidental death at age 50. So we don't know if he would have gotten cancer. I used to joke that I glow in the dark. Which I attributed to my dad having been at 5 miles from ground zero prior to my birth. No fallout from it yet, in the family visible. But that's a lot different than being on site working long days shooting a film after the pollution is everywhere. I'm sure that is what made everybody sick.

@marthawelch4289

They filmed "The Conqueror" in Nevada during the testing there, not in New Mexico.

The cancer situation specific to this movie has been researched and argued over many times over the years. There is evidence and conjecture on both sides:
* YES the nuclear tests caused more cancer than usual, and
* NO the cancer occurrence was no more than usual for a population of people who were heavy smokers and other now-known causes/contributors of cancer.
Also, the movie "I Want to Live" was a loose biography of Barbara Graham, a "party girl" who was convicted of the murder of an elderly woman during a robbery, sentenced to death, and then executed in the California electric chair.
