"Rock Me Baby" is a 1985 song by Johnny Nash. The song appeared on his Here Again album, released early the following year.
After the release, the song was a minor hit in the United Kingdom but did not chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was a bigger success in other European nations like Germany and Switzerland. Due to the lack of success in the United States, however, a music video was never shot for the song.
