@@hectorherrera526they probably had a reason why they break up. You shouldn’t shame on them. It’s their career not yours shame on you for shaming a group that they work so hard for you.
@@Twerkingonyababydaddy Hi Martini, read between the lines, I'm really not shaming them (I was being sarcastic), I'm very sad for their break up, I listen to their music all the time. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
i stumble upon this video, and half way through i was crying so bad. my mother used to sing this to me when i was a small boy, she had very similar style of clothes and makeup back then. thank you so very much for bring back a fond memory i had forgotten. my mother has passed way, but you have brought her back to me for a few moments
Not sure how I came across this but I'm glad I did. I've heard many versions of my father (Phil Spector) and mother (Ronnie Spector) and I have to say, this is one of my favorites. Well done.
Your parents are Phil and Ronnie Spector??? Amazing!!! There are many many versions of your mom‘s famous song!!! But no one will ever do it like she did!!!♥️♥️♥️
I wish I could thank your mother and father for creating the best of the best music & memories. Their song (and also Ronnie singing Baby I love you)always made me feel good inside like none other.
Hi Louis, My young daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting your Mom at a Beatlefest 12 years ago. We got a photo with her and an autograph. I agree. This is a nice cover of the song!

Ladies that was FANTASTIC. I'm a 68 year old man and I remember when this song was new. This is from a time when the gurl bands played positive music about love and live making it. I subscribed to your channel based on this song and I hope you keep remaking this fine old music. You're VERY talented young women. Thank you. Greg Chaney from Oriental NC, USA. Thanks again.
Discovered this evening: 12-28-19. Very sweet rendition. You made it your own, and honored the original artist, era, and style at e same time! Technically and artistically!! Keep it up, girls!!!! ❣️
Great cover of the Ronettes classic. These young ladies really put it across. The trick to effective nostalgia is to honor the original without making it sound dated. Through the force of their performance, they did just that.
Just came across this. These beautiful youg ladies are incredible , I have listened to this type music my entire life and it does my heart good to see it still being listened to and performed. The girl on the right has a smile that just brightens the world.
You guys are totally cool. You are all talented and beautiful. You did a great job with this fine song by the Ronettes that they recorded fifty years ago. Thanks for bringing this kind of music back, and -- please -- keep making videos like this one. You guys sound so good it just brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.
I never heard of these girls... They are impressive! The one in the middle has a rare voice! I will watch this many times... Good harmony girls.. ALL well done! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
I stumbled across the video clip about a year ago and I am totally addicted to it. I love absolutely everything about it. I just wish there was an extended version of it because it runs too short.
this was my late grandma's favorite song when she was only 16 if only I could have shared this beautiful cover she would have been so proud of these beautiful ladies who did a amazing job . great job ladies simply beautiful bravo. 😊😊
Beautiful song, and wonderful interpretation. Congratulations to her parents, as well as the Ronnets (mother, aunt and cousin). Congratulations to you too. I identified greatly with the life story of the humble Louis Spector. I would like you to help your channel grow. Let's encourage him to finish his book. He really needs our help. I see a lot of sincerity in him. Through persistence, perseverance, limitations, and despite the lack of paternal support, he managed to overcome many personal difficulties. He managed to face all these barriers that hinder learning, socialization and expression. It deserves all our respect and admiration. Edilson A. Ribeiro, Cuiabá/MT - Brazil - jan/2024
Fantastic! A brilliant cover version of one of the best-ever tracks. Apologies but first time I ever heard of you girls. Amazing... Hope you have every success. You deserve it.
This reminds me of my year in Korea, 1973-1974. The EM and NCO clubs had visiting acts of Koreans that did covers of a lot of the current songs. Most were pretty good. Brings back good memories.
I know it's been many years since you ladies put this up, but you still caused a huge, long-lasting smile from me this morning. And for a guy in as much pain as I am, that is no small accomplishment. Great voices and personality. Best wishes to you all.
Oh my gosh; this is delightful! If Ronnie and the Ronettes are like watercolours with a dose of sugary syrup, the Barberettes are like CAD drawing - absolutely precise and finely detailed. Its a perfectly stripped-down rendition of what Spector’s wall of sound actually hid from us - nothing but the harmonies, the melody and the songwriting. Just sublime.

@Gregory Johnston Man I forgot about the snack truck.

Then he could keep anything left over. Was the town outside the base still called "RTO"? There was a kind of a strip mall put there.

(By mistake of course) Oh, and when I first got there, not knowing anything about the place, except the restricted bars and such.

Exactly,noticed it too don't want disparage original.
While in the Marines, my first overseas assignment was at MCAS Iwakuni Japan way back in 1973.
The NCO Club had live music the night I went, so with a beer in hand I sat back and got prepared to be entertained.
A short back story, I was born and raised in a primarily farming community in upper state Indiana.
So my exposure to different cultures was rather limited. That no longer was the case, once I enlisted in the Marines in 1971.
Back to the NCO Club.
The band took the stage and I watched for the first time a Japanese female belt out "Stand by your man". It didn't stop there, she did a fantastic job with what ever sang.
During the break, I went over to them to tell them that I thought they were really good.
As with most of the locals that I interacted with, on and off duty, her English was not bad. I'm still impressed with how she sang with none of the normal difficulty we all have when we try to speak another language.
Memories.

Hey Frank! I too am from northern Indiana (S.B.) and was in the Marines and stationed at Iwakuni in 1988. Semper Fi !!
Simper Fi Marine. Always great hearing from another.
After the Marines I got into L.E. then after 25 years I retired, but still worked PT with the Sheriff's Office here. Being PT you really do work at the pleasure of the Sheriff. Meaning whenever and where ever your needed.
Good to go with me, I actually enjoyed it.
Anyway, while pulling a night shift in the housing unit, I was talking to a guy who Ranger Regiment as a E-8.
I was feeling sorry for myself, missing the military and all. So I asked him if he ever felt the same way. With out a moment hesitation, he look at me and said,
"Everyday, like a lost lover". That pretty much summed it up for me as well. As well as beautifully phrased.

@Gregory Johnston Man I forgot about the snack truck.

Then he could keep anything left over.
Was the town outside the base still called "RTO"?
There was a kind of a strip mall put there.
My buddy and I rode our rented bicycles out there and parked them out side of a small store. Then walked to the the theater to watch a Bruce Lee movie (all in Japanese).
When we came back and the bikes were still there. (We were surprised)
