"Will Power" by The Cookies

While not as well known as The Shirelles or The Supremes, The Cookies were a fantastic girl group from the 60s who also sang backup for the likes of Little Eva, Neil Sedaka, and Carole King. Best known for their #7 hit, "Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby", the group also scored with "Chains" (#17) and "Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys" (#33).

"Will Power" did not perform as well, landing at #72 in 1963. It deserved better - the ladies sound smooth as ever and the buzzing guitar solo always catches me by surprise. Go get their greatest hits!
