The chorus blew Brian Wilson's (of the Beach Boys) mind when he first heard it driving in his car. He had to pull over to finish the rest of the song and said he realized he had heard the greatest pop song ever recorded. He spent the rest of his life trying to capture that moment.

@omnipop4936 6 месяцев назад

I can so relate to Brian's car experience! Whenever I write music, I'm subconsciously chasing the feeling I had when I first heard incredible songs in the car years ago. _You remember that feeling your whole life._ Fortunately, I was able to write down most of the songs' titles if the DJ said who it was, but there were a handful of songs that "got away", that I've never heard again since. _Heart breaking!_ (this was decades before song ID apps like Shazam)... But yeah, I'm sure 'Be My Baby' has caused _many_ cars to pull over in the last 60 years! 😄🎶

@@sarahdee374 The main secret to the 'wall of sound' was actually the echo chamber used at Gold Star Studios. Designed and build by Gold Star co-owner, Dave Gold.

@@sarahdee374 A lot of folks gave the attempt at duplicating. Not sure if anything was "copyrighted". The main engineer was A guy named Larry Levine who was next to being a legend himself. The session musicians worked on a lot of recordings that were for many artists including the beach Boys, Jan N Dean etc. I knew a couple of very active session guys back in the early 70's. The good ones made big time money (six figures was not unheard of - even then.) Phil Spector kept it under control for about 5 or 6 years - then that "sound " was replaced with something new.

Thanks for honoring Ronnie Spector (snd the Ronettes) with this reaction. You picked the right video. This song will live forever. This was an era before my time; I feel like they were as important culturally as they were musically. They brought a new ethnicity and female sexuality to popular American music loved by teens without being overtly trashy. The mascara and hair was a bit shocking (and influenced that generation’s fashion) but you can see they dressed and performed like ladies. The girl group era was very short lived but influential to this day.

At the beginning of my DJing career I had the immense good fortune to introduce the Ronnettes on stage at the Plaza Ballroom in Birmingham on their first tour of the UK in 1964 - they Blew Us Away, and I fell in love LOL! Lead singer Ronnie later married their producer, the infamous Phil Spector (creator of the legendary "Wall of Sound") but it did not go well - check out her autobiography "Be My Baby". Adored by The Beatles, Ronnie had a truly unique voice to which the many wonderful Ronnettes' tracks stand testament. Sadly she passed away on the 12th January 2022.

She was really holding back in this performance. They did this song on television a different time and then broke into "Shout" right after it (it's on RU-vid too) and that performance of "Be My Baby" really shows off her power. Look for that one. Also, talking about legacies and influence, there are four or five women whose voices influenced everyone who came after them, you should look for those singers: Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters, Ma Rainey, Mamie Smith, and Blanche Calloway. Enjoy the journey.

She's singin in that baby doll voice on purpose didn't want a power voice to overshadow her cuteness and sexiness.

Ronnettes are still loved and respected today! This song is so fun and recognizable, it's used still, as background in movies, commercials etc. It was still on the radio when I was a child, and as fun today as it was then!! Thanks for sharing!!

'The Supremes' were probably the biggest girl group of the sixties...later known as 'Diana Ross and the Supremes'. Of course she went completely solo later as just 'Diana Ross'.

@tommack9395 2 года назад

Her name was Veronica Bennett at the time of this TV appearance. She married Phil Spector in 1966 - who was their producer (one of the biggest record producers of the 60's and 70's).

You mentioned The Ronettes were one of the influences for Amy Winehouse. Another influence from the 60's were girl group The Shangri Las. Worth listening to too

You should have followed this video up; with Eddie Money's song "Take Me Home Tonight/Be My Baby" which features Ronnie Spector which was recorded 25 years later.

@jeannieschmidt2217 2 года назад

When you guys listened to Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money - and the line in the song goes "Just like Ronnie said - be my little baby" - THIS is the Ronnie he was talking about. RIP to an amazing performer.

She "researched" Ronnie but didn't see that she was the "hook" in EDDIE MONEY's "Take Me Home Tonight"? (Which they heard already) These reactions would be 100 X's better if they would have made and understood the connection to references.

@wickamo 2 года назад

You have heard that line before and also seen her perform before. She was the guest on Eddie Money's video for "Take Me Home Tonight". The line in his song says "Just like Ronnie says, 'Be my little baby'", and she sings the "be my baby part as well as being in the video, though she's quite a bit older than here. So this is the first time for listening to the Ronnettes, but not to Ronnie Spector.

@walterrutherford8321 2 года назад

I’d heard the song many times before they reacted to it but this is where I found out who Ronnie was in the song. Now I’ll have to listen to their react to it again.

@daverhoden445 2 года назад

@@walterrutherford8321 Meanwhile, I knew she was in the song but it was days ago that I found out she's in the video as well. I'd thought that was a model brought in to play the part.

@randalljclark Год назад

Of all your videos you only have two 60's girl groups? There are so many to chose from... the Shangri La's, Dixie Cups, Ronnettes, Martha and the Vandellas, Shirelles. Angels, Crystals, and yes the Supremes...treat yourself to the Shirelles "Will you still love me Tomorrow" as a start. It's funny watching you react to music from my youth before auto tune with real talent.

@eddieevans6692 2 года назад

What a fantastic song! The Ronnettes had several other influential songs worth checking out like Baby I Love You and Walking in the Rain. Some other killer girl groups from that period are The Dixie Cups with Iko Iko and Chapel of Love. The Shirelles with Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (Amy Winehouse did a version of this one), Baby It's You, Dedicated To the One I Love, Mama Said and Soldier Boy. And of course there is the Supremes.

Your gen heard her in the Eddie Money song first- probably. Remember this here was the infancy of rock n roll...so this was mind blowing. On a personal note, Ronnie unexpectedly showed up at a benefit concert I attended in Chicago years ago called, The Fourth Waltz. To this day whenever I hear this song I feel so lucky to have seen her❤️

Other girl groups that spring to mind: The Boswell Sisters (they influenced The Andrew Sisters) The MacGuire Sisters The Crystals Martha and the Vandellas The Supremes The Runaways The GoGo’s The Dixie Chicks The Pointer Sisters Sister Sledge

@patticrichton1135 2 года назад

They were asking for other girl groups from the same time as the Ronettes, the '60s, so that would NOT include The GoGo's, The Dixie Chicks, The Pointer Sisters, Sister Sledge or the The Boswell Sisters, and the McGuire Sisters. Those groups came before and AFTER the '60s. The MARVELETTES ("PLEASE MR. POSTMAN" which the BEATLES covered) was another one from the '60s.

Ronnie was an amazing woman who survived so much turmoil. Her voice was simply awesome. I grew up in the 70's, listening to many different genres of music, including her music. So very sad to her of her death. I will remember her fondly.

@mdanam 2 года назад

No, it's not the first time you've reacted to Ronnie Spector. She was the female singing along with Eddie Money on Take Me Home Tonight, which directly quoted this song. And since I've had a crush on Ronnie(as millions of others Did who grew up in the 60s) I'm truly heartbroken to hear about her passing. R. I. P. Ronnie you will be sorely missed
