"IT'S TOO SOON TO KNOW" is an American doo-wop ballad by Deborah Chessler, performed first by The Orioles. It was number one on the American Rhythm and blues charts in November of 1948. It is considered by some to be the first "rock and roll" song, and described by others as the first rhythm and blues vocal group harmony recording. It has been sung by many other artists and remains a great standard.
