Billboard Hot 100 - #33, 1961 - I Don't Want to Take A Chance
"(Bye Bye Baby) was a brash kiss-off to a no-good lover, belted out with way more exuberance than polish ...Wells was on her way."
- PopMatters.com
The debut album from Mary Wells, released in 1961, draws its title from the two top 10 R&B songs it contains, Bye Bye Baby and I Don't Want to Take A Chance. Recorded when she was only 17 years old, the single Bye Bye Baby preceded the album by almost a year, introducing Wells and becoming one of Motown's first hits. I Don't Want to Take A Chance, among the label's earliest 45s to crack the mainstream top 40, peaked at number 33.
