The Vows - I Wanna Chance

A great doo wop track from 1962, by a mixed gender Los Angeles group. This song was written by lead singer Helen Simpson. The group sounds very young. A later incarnation of this group was led by Morris Chestnut Sr., father of actor Morris Chestnut (Boyz n the Hood).

Wow, I never expected to hear from the actual artist. I'm just a music fan in Pittsburgh, who has enjoyed listening to your song for many years. I hope you don't mind that I posted it. It was very popular here in Pittsburgh, and they still play it frequently on the Sunday night oldies show on radio station WWSW.

I still have an original copy on the Markay label.

May God bless you and your family

this is/was my all time fav song growing up. I looked for it for years. I used to listen to it in the 80's. I am so glad to have found it again.

I live in LA and have posted concerning Side Effect, the Extremes, Duprells, Young Hearts, etc. I was an original Duprells who became Side Effect. This tune was huge in my listening routine. I'd like to meet Helen Jackson.
