Bye Bye Baby I Don't Want to Take a Chance is the debut album by Motown recording artist Mary Wells, released on Motown in 1961. [1] The album didn't chart but yielded two hit singles for the teenaged Wells including "Bye Bye Baby", issued in late 1960 (which she had originally written as a demo for Jackie Wilson), and "I Don't Want to Take a Chance", a song written for her by Berry Gordy and Mickey Stevenson. Wells' follow-up album, The One Who Really Loves You , was released in 1962.
