SEE OUR OTHER AUCTIONS FOR THIS ARTIST Bye Bye Baby I Don't Want to Take a Chance is the debut album by Motown recording artist Mary Wells, released on Motown in 1961. The album didn't chart but yielded two hit singles for the teenaged Wells including "Bye Bye Baby ", which she issued in late 1960, and a song she had originally written as a demo for Jackie Wilson, and "I Don't Want to Take a Chance ", a song written for her by Berry Gordy and Mickey Stevenson. This album would precede Wells' follow-up album, The One Who Really Loves You, released in 1962. Mary Wells: lead vocal The Andantes, The Supremes, the Love Tones and the Rayber Voices: background vocals Instrumentation by The Funk Brothers Mary Wells, at one stage, was Motown's biggest Soul Singer. When she was 17 years of age, Berry Gordy had, by then, taken her under his Motown umbrella and the song hit the top 50. Mary was then paired with Smokey Robinson in a singing and songwriting partnership, which was to be very fruitful in the following years. In 1962, 'The One Who Really Loves You' made the Top 10 in 1962, followed by 'You Beat Me To The Punch' and 'Two Lovers', songs that were equally as successful. 'What's Easy For Two Is So Hard For One' also charted in 1964, however, her greatest success came, at the age of 21, with the Smokey penned tune 'My Guy', which was an enormous hit on both sides of the Atlantic during the Beatlemania period. Mary was then teamed with the late Marvin Gaye, recording an album of duets, with the song 'Once Upon A Time', released as a single. She then left Motown moving to 20th Century Fox, who had offered her some movie work to go alongside her recording chores. Motown had to let her leave, as her original contract was signed at a time when she was underage. 20th Century had, allegedly, offered her several hundred thousand dollars to move to the label. She was recognized as "The First Lady of Motown " until her departure from the company in 1964, at the height of her popularity.
