She Was Too Good to Me is an album by Chet Baker.[1][2][3] The album was released in 1974[4] as what some would call a "comeback" album. The title track is an alteration of "He Was Too Good to Me". There were three recording sessions (July 17, October 31, and November 1, 1974).[5]

Allmusic[6]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Baker began his comeback after five years of musical inactivity with this excellent CTI date. ... Altoist Paul Desmond is a major asset on two songs and the occasional strings give variety to this fine session".[6]
