Ahhh... Dancing to this with my girlfriend at the Senior Prom in '64! Just popped into my head this morning. Thanks @The45Prof! I had a devil of a time trying to just FIND a reference to it on the 'net. It's a b*tch getting old. But having these memories is worth it.

A studio group fronted by songwriter Ellie Greenwich, who penned Baby be Mine with husband Jeff Barry and Steve Venet. Ellie was also lead voice for The Raindrops (The Kind of Boy You Can't Forget)

You've confused The Jelly Beans with Ellie's studio group The Raindrops. The Jelly Beans was an actual group from New Jersey fronted by Elyse Herbert, not a studio group. Ellie did not sing on the Jelly Beans records (or the Butterflys records, as some people erroneously claim).
