The Jelly Beans were an American vocal group from Jersey City, New Jersey,
formed in 1962 by five high schoolers. The group signed with Jerry Leiber and
Mike Stoller's label, Red Bird Records, in 1963 and worked closely with
songwriters Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. Their debut single "I Wanna Love Him
So Bad" was released in 1964 and became a hit, peaking at number 9 on the
Billboard Hot 100 and number 8 for two weeks in Canada. The follow-up single
"Baby Be Mine" peaked at number 51 later that year and number 31 in Canada.
Despite their chart success, an album was never issue...
