Earl-Jean "Jeanie" Reavis (born 1942)[1] is an American former pop and R&B singer who was a member of vocal group, the Cookies. Credited as Earl-Jean, she had a solo hit with the original version of "I'm Into Somethin' Good", written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and later a bigger hit for Herman's Hermits.

She was born Earl-Jean McCrea in Brooklyn, New York, but lived with her family in North Carolina from the age of two. They returned to live in Coney Island when Jeanie was a young teenager, and she attended Lincoln High School. In 1960, she married Grant Reavis, and had a child.[1]

Her older sister, Darlene McCrea, and the other original members of the Cookies - a group first formed in 1954 - eventually evolved into Ray Charles' backing group, the Raelettes. In 1961, Earl-Jean (who was usually known informally as Jeanie) was persuaded to join a new version of the Cookies. The group was signed to Goffin and King's Dimension record label in 1962, and scored hits with "Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby)", and "Chains" (later covered by the Beatles).[2]

She became pregnant while on tour, and Gerry Goffin (married to Carole King at the time) was named as the father; the baby, Dawn Reavis, was born in July 1964.[1][3] She left the Cookies, and signed for Colpix, recording the Goffin and King song "I'm Into Something Good", which reached no.38 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100. Later that year in Britain, a cover version by Herman's Hermits topped the charts.[2]

Goffin and King gave Earl-Jean financial support,[1] but she did not have any further hits. She later worked as a specialist in early childhood, and opened a day care center.
