Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, this hit #17 in 1963 and is the perfect example of the Brill Building style of songwriting and production. This is a girl group classic!
The Cookies were Little Eva's backup singers. The Beatles would later go on to cover this track.

Scandalous! Gerry Goffin had an affair and child with Jeanie McCrae, a member of the Cookies. All this is according to the book "Girls Like Us." I like this song. It's not one of my favorites by them because it's so, pardon the pun, cookie-cutter bluesy. But it's fun and I kind of like to think this song was a precursor to Rihanna's "S&M."

I like this. The Beatles version was the first one that I heard.
