abstract
  • %22You Beat Me to the Punch%22 is a soul single by Motown singer Mary Wells, released on the Motown label in 1962. It was co-written by Smokey Robinson of the Miracles, who was responsible for the majority of hits released by Wells while she was a Motown artist, and another Miracles member, Ronnie White.Following the success of the previous single, %22The One Who Really Loves You%22, Motown released this record shortly after it was produced and the song performed similar work as %22The One Who Really Loves You%22 did, becoming a Billboard Top 10 Pop smash, peaking at number nine on the pop chart and becoming her first number-one hit on the Billboard R&B singles chart. It also won Wells a Grammy nomination for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording.Like %22The One Who Really Loves You%22 before it, the song was produced with a mock-calypso beat.It inspired an %22answer%22 song by soul singer Gene Chandler called %22You Threw A Lucky Punch%22 which used the same music and different lyrics and became a Pop and R&B chart hit that year.
