Good to Be Back is the eleventh studio album by American singer Natalie Cole. Released in May 1989 by EMI USA, it contains the hit singles "Miss You Like Crazy" and "I Do".

Reception

The first single "Miss You Like Crazy" peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Adult Contemporary and Hot R&B Songs charts in 1989. It reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her biggest chart hit single there, and number 13 in the Netherlands. The single "I Do" with Freddie Jackson hit the top 10 on US R&B Songs and the top 20 on US Dance Songs chart. The album's third and fourth singles were "The Rest of the Night" (UK #56) and "Starting Over Again" (#5 on US Adult Contemporary and #56 in the UK).

Track listing

1990 UK & Europe reissue includes "Wild Women Do" (Power Mix with Rap) as Track 1 (12 tracks total) from the original motion picture soundtrack Pretty Woman. Written by Greg Prestopino, Sam Lorber and Matthew Wilder and produced by André Fischer.
The LP track length (4:18) and CD track length (4:29). The track was also noted to have been produced in 1990 rather than 1989 so this was probably a later issue of the album as the copyright notice was for 1990. The song is not listed on various 1991 USA reissues for this album in either Allmusic or Discogs listings, but had been released in various mixes on 7", 12" vinyl and CD singles in 1990.
