"Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley (Free Baby)" is the title of a 1988 single by the American dance-pop band Will To Power. The song combines elements of two previously recorded rock songs: "Baby, I Love Your Way", a #12 Billboard Hot 100 hit from 1976 by the British-born singer Peter Frampton; and American Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd's song "Free Bird", which hit #19 on the Hot 100 chart in 1975. Will to Power's medley of these two songs had more of a synthesized dance beat (as opposed to the rock ballad-like nature of the two original songs), and it rose to #1 on the Hot 100 chart on December 3, 1988, remaining there for one week. It also peaked at #2 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.
In March and April 2009, VH1 ran a countdown of the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s. Will to Power's "Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley" placed at #97 on the countdown despite the fact that the group had another Top 10 hit, a cover version of the 1975 10cc hit "I'm Not in Love" (#7), in 1991.

Producer Bob Rosenberg created this medley. The group's name, taken from the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, belies their mellow adult contemporary sound. Their medley of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" hit number one in late 1988. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
