"Will You Love Me Tomorrow" #1 2/4/1961

We return to #1's from the 60's prior to the British Invasion. It's been said half the hits of the 60's were written by Carole King, and the other half were trying to sound like they were written by Carole King. From February '61, her breakthrough songwriting effort with her then-husband Gerry Goffin as done by the Shirelles. It became the first #1 on the pop charts by a black girl group. I absolutely love Carole's slower version from "Tapestry" as well.
