#QuickSidenote The Cookies were an American R&B girl group with two distinct eras: the 1954–58 lineup, which later morphed into Ray Charles’s backing vocalists, The Raelettes, and a later version that carried the name into the ’60s, featuring Earl-Jean. #TheCookies #EarlJean #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote In 1963, The Beatles (with George Harrison singing lead) covered “Chains.” It appears on their 1963 UK album ‘Please Please Me’/1964 US album ‘Introducing… The Beatles’. #TheBeatles #EarlJean #Chains #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly It wasn’t Earl-Jean’s first trip to the #Top40. With the second lineup of the female vocal group The Cookies, she’d already scored hits like “Chains,” singing lead on that one. #EarlJean #TheCookies #OneHitWondered
