Cookies - Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby (1963)(US #7)

[@AnneMacA]

Love this too, especially when she says, "so girl you better shut your mouth." Some of favorite songs are from 1963 when I was 13. Everything was so so new and magical.

Beautiful, clear lead & back-up vocals... w/ Great band. Simple. Straight to the point tune.

“..so girl you better shutcho mouth!” Classic!

[@Kjt853]

That’s got to be one of the greatest lines in rock music! 😂

Typical uncivilized ape thing to say

[@jr2280]

What a schmohawk!

[@jarjthejargj6099]

The nerve of Larry to use such language around a fine Mormon beautician!

[@KenBreakwell]

Did you know that "The Cookies" sang backup on Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do?"

[@arthurspooner6082]

I am pleased to find this was an actual 60's song, thanks to CYE I now can't stop singing it.

Mr David is the absolute best thank you Larry for adding this jam into a messed up scene hahah Larry David is king

[@timgutierrez2211]

One of my all time favorites featuring the smooth voice of Earl-Jean McCrea. It was near the end of the doo wop era and like so many songs in that period, there was always a rpminent saxophone solo.

[@jackiegerspachhas4237]

It’s Motown!!!!!!!!😆

[@JLee-zf8fm]

Such a pure voice the lead singer has.

[@Poyzin7]

Hey Schmohawk!

[@carolynstewart2062]

Let's add that this was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. They were the hit makers for the Cookies.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

They also wrote "Chains," another big hit for the Cookies. Not to detract from this, but I like "Chains" better.

[@GoodMrDawes]

They were the hit makers for all

[@dhornjr1]

And that Gerry Goffin had a child with the lead singer - Earl-Jean McRae-Reavis.

[@dawnpaige213]

1963 I was only 3 years old what do I know about this song? But I do know one thing this was one of my mother favorite song before she passed away. We had the 45 rpm record.

[@Sean-sl3cl]

Bare midriff brought me here. That sax kills it at the end

This Song Went To Number 7 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1963.

[@freeguy77]

And #3 on the R&B chart!

[@ceeceetracey9839]

Thats the group The Dixie Cups in that picture. They sing "Going To The Chapel". Not The Cookies

[@larrydevore6657]

[@ChristopherORourke-s7g]

Great song that was played nationwide on most rock & roll & R&B radio stations. The song to me fits perfect in Los Angeles & San Diego as well as Philadelphia.

[@ChristopherORourke-s7g]

Also fits perfect in Atlantic City,NJ as well.

[@freeguy77]

Another kick-ass song at the end of the best (and doo-wop) era in U.S. history!

[@JohnGrinsteinner]

Heard this song for the first time at the USO at our Army base in Northern Japan, (Hokkaido), when I was 19. The harmony stood out and this song is just another addition of the great music that I got to enjoy during high school and my military service. Songs like this also reduce the amount of homesick many of us endured.

[@shelleypineo-jensen6690]

"So, girl, you better shut your mouth" has stuck with me since I first heard this song on the radio all those years ago . . . just LOVE it.

This is not a photo of The Cookies, it is a photo of The Dixie Cups. Both female vocal groups were trios, but The Cookies were from Brooklyn New York, while the Dixie Cups were from New Orleans Louisiana. Love the song though.

[@mizLaRaine]

This group had the potential to surpass the more popular "girl groups" of their day, with that sultry contralto lead and tight AF harmonies. Damn shame that for whatever reasons, they didnt. this song has been in my ear since i was 5 wayyyyy back in '73. It was also in my moms ear in the 60's, and it stands the test of time. I wish we had heard more from these talented women. And that pic is 💯 not them. 😂
