Remember where I was when I first heard Be My Baby, summer 1963. What a great time! Best summer of my life, 17 yrs old and not a care in the world. Will miss you Ronnie. RIP
Genuine solid-gold old-school nostalgic soul! I don't even recall hearing this song from the Ronettes but the style and sound represents an era that was loaded with sensational hits like this one.The Supremes,Marvelettes,Martha Reeves & The Vandellas with other lady groups marked a dynasty.
Está extremadamente sobreproducido. Las coristas eran de estudio (contratadas por Spector). Lo único real era la voz de Verónica, detrás del muro de sonido.
Just have to say There will never be a voice like Ronnie beautiful lady. I am proud I was part of that generation. Although old today and young then I feel music was the best then ,
The opening dance in unison sequence with that great little music intro to the song is so adorable and mesmerizing. It just captivates you into a whimsical spell and lures you into the performance. Very nice!
One of Ronnie's best performances. Reason being: she sang live vocal with a recorded background. I wished all the rock shows in the 60s did it this way. Thanks for posting.
I hadn't heard or thought of this song in decades, until it popped into my head a few days ago. I thought I was going to have to go dig up my old bag of singles from the sixties--didn't think it would be on UA-cam. Behold and lo--here it is. Thanks.
I just cannot express the feelings I get when I see and hear this video. If there were any taste and justice in this world today, this record but be re-released and sell in millions. Grateful thanks for uploading.
David Osterberg I’ve seen my grandsons playlist ( he is 15) and he has over 400 songs and none from our generation, so I think they are pretty happy with their own music. If you look at comments from music in the 60’s etc, it is us that think our music is so great that every generation should automatically like it, and music today is trash. But when I look at comments from the kids music of today, they never even think of our music, never mind calling it trash. Sometimes I wonder who are the insecure adults and who are the kids.
@David Osterberg i agree. 60,s & 70,s music was exeptional for the sheer variety and innovation. It was the greatest music era ever and still strong today and will be in years and years to come.
David Osterberg yea, you keep telling yourself that everyone loves what we loved, and every kid wants to listen to grandpa’s music. I sure know I didn’t want to listen to my grandpa’s music, but then, I had my own music.
@@HamiltonRb i feel fortunate and lucky, not superior, to have lived in the 60,s & 70,s era. It was non-stop exelent music. People my age (69) will never get sick or tired of these songs and artists.melodies and harmonies that logde in the mind and soul forever. 9/10 kids today wouldn,t recognize a good song.it,s just that strong melodies and intricate arrangements dont sell anymore. Lack of melodies and good production is what todays music uninteresting or even annoying to me. Do we still have thrue musicians? Ofcourse we do, but they are few and far behind. You have to search for it or bump into it by accident. The reality is todays music doesn,t have anything memorable. Sometimes i feel bad for young people today as i don,t think todays music will stand the test of time. The music of the past had a mysterious special quality that will never to be replicated.Just my opinion.
Iit just goes to show that true beauty talent and stage presence wins we need lots more of that today the light of heaven to estelle a beautiful woman is in a beautiful place the world certainly was a more beautiful place in the sixties when the ronnetes were around
Great intro riff, great production and great vocals by the beautiful Ronettes! Thank you for the upload and the memories! This one could be a hit in 2020 too!
They all had a certain look.I say extremely attractive,very exotic with there mixed heritages makes them more then beautiful. If any of them has daughter's and granddaughters,I can only imagine what they look like ?
We never really had girl groups in the UK in the 60's, we had solo girl singers like Lulu, Dusty, Cilla, Sandie Shaw etc The Ronettes were the coolest of the US girl groups with the Wall of Sound & Nedra was to die for
Great Sleeper of a song. In this vid you can hear the clapping from the girls the echo on that stage was heard even through the sound track, lip syncing here. They could hold there own. I played this 4 times and it never gets old Nedra looks great and so does Ronnies sister. Ronnie is till rockin' saw her in Hoboken's Washington Ave. Fair a block from Carlo's Bakery a feew years ago. Loved them then & now. Thanks for the post.
You can find the live vocals to this performance on UA-cam....you just have to search a little. The live vocals are on the color version of this performance. Lip syncing was very seldom done on this show.
I agree, but only for live performances. Nedra and Estelle were rarely on the recordings, and when they were you couldn't hear them because Phil Spector had a whole chorus of singers behind them, completely erasing the distinction of their voices.
this is absolute genius, i pray for him, a story teller of love, this is shabat shalom.. it has a healing spiritual prayer quality, shabat shalom spector
On this day in 1965 {April 27th} the Ronettes featuring Veronica performed "Is This What I Get For Loving You?" on the NBC-TV weekly program 'Hullabaloo!' {the above video is from this episode of the show}... Just under a month later on May 23rd the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #88; the following week it moved to #79, and on it's third and fourth week on the chart it peaked at #75, then it fell off the Top 100... Between 1963 and 1966 the trio had eight Top 100 records; one made the Top 10, "Be My Baby", it peaked at #2* for 3 weeks in 1963... * The three weeks that "Be My Baby" was at #2, the #1 record for those three weeks was "Sugar Shack" by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs...
What would happened if that song (sugar shack) was unreleased? The ronettes would be more remembered? All the songs, including paradise or woman in love would be on philles record label?
They had such amazing style. So simple yet so beautiful. Estelle was a talented beauty. Love them in their white dresses(angelic colour of purity and innocence too!:) with those hair clips!! So cute..🥰🥰 Edit: even a nuance I didn’t notice; I thought initially it was because Ronnie has a different shape, but I didn’t think about it until someone said it: ronnies dress fits tighter around her curves:)
Wow Ronnies Specters voice now thats what i called singing .pity they dont have singers like that today.rest in peace Ronnie your not forgotten Godbless you Amen.you 🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐what a pity Phil was not well and treated you disrespectfully like guys of that era with women they married like they were there slaves and bout from the highest bidder but you finally got your happiness🕊🕊🕊🕊 freedom and his name and he moved on from you to be obsessed with someone else but this time he got his bars with no doors he could not walk out and go night clubbing. but he got his nice orange jump suit. its a pity he had a messed up child hood and wasnt a well person with different personalities of all sorts. Rest in peace Phil 🙏 i hope you have found your happiness and peace with in yourself and may god forgive you and have mercy on our soul 🙏Amen🕊🦋💐🌹🌷💖.🕊
Yes, she was very lovely. Too bad she descended into mental illness not long after the Ronettes broke up. I read somewhere that they found Estelle living on the streets and they had clean her up to make her presentable for the induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.
@@jackanthony976Yes, heartbreaking. Darlene Love, who knew her back in the day, saw Estelle there--Estelle didn't remember her. She was able to pull herself together enough to give a brief thank you, but wasn't able to perform with the other two. She suffered from mental illness for pretty much the rest of her life, living on the streets at times and telling passersby that she was going to be performing that night in a club with the Ronettes. She died a couple years ago.
I filpped over this song when I first heard it. Sort of an oddity for the Ronettes, with its 'down' theme, something more appropriate for the newly-signed Righteous Bros. All their hits were behind them when this was (barely) released in '65. Too bad this didn't restore them to the Top 40. Terrific nonetheless!
I've only just heard (from Roger Day on Boom Radio, UK) that the Ronettes did this originally before Mariane Faithful covered it. This is fantastic and more so because of the Wall of Sound.
Tommy Truth they were famous back in the day. Now they are mostly forgotten. They don’t have enough followers or subscribers. They aren’t famous anymore they lost their fame. If Ronnie didn’t marry Phil, she would have gotten all of that fame with the Beatles
Seeing as how Phil WAS so much of her story it would just hurt to watch. I think this song was written by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil. Phil died earlier this year but he was deceased many years before. I'd say right after his work with Lennon & Harrison.
Nedra is so cute! This was back in the day when singers had talent and didn't have to parade around on stage half naked to make up for their lack of talent.
I guess this is what you got from Loving me nothing, I wasn't the best guy in the world, but I know that no one will Love you as much as I did and still do Sue P. ,you know this is for you RP
One of the reasons Nedra doesn't discuss her Puerto Rican father is that he left her mother Susan at a young age...they were raised in Spanish Harlem (then little PR) near where I was raised...I was friends with Estelle RIP.....
Can't beat that "wall of sound". Of all the girl groups during this time, "The Ronettes" were the purest definition of this style of performing!!
Love her voice. Singers of today can't ever come close to Ronnie Spector.
Amy came close. And attitude!
May Ronnie rest in peace....Such a pure voice. This group was so underrated.
Да! Така е! Обичам я! Обичам ги! Те са Божества! ❤️✨🙏 Амин 🙏
@@НиколайМарковски-у9ы I have come to love them greatly, when I became aware of them approximately 3 months ago 🥰😍
Yes u did hurt me, and u know who ur! But i still 💘 this song ! Love. THE RONETTES, 😘😘😘❤
Remember where I was when I first heard Be My Baby, summer 1963. What a great time! Best summer of my life, 17 yrs old and not a care in the world. Will miss you Ronnie. RIP
So sad this talent & dedication to the arts is gone. A lost generation
Genuine solid-gold old-school nostalgic soul! I don't even recall hearing this song from the Ronettes but the style and sound represents an era that was loaded with sensational hits like this one.The Supremes,Marvelettes,Martha Reeves & The Vandellas with other lady groups marked a dynasty.
It was the last of their songs that charted. A lowly #75.
This is music at it's finest hour. Bring back those days
Beautiful ladies! No autotune in sight, only talent!
Está extremadamente sobreproducido. Las coristas eran de estudio (contratadas por Spector). Lo único real era la voz de Verónica, detrás del muro de sonido.
I fell in love with them aged about 12, still love them now So sorry Ronnie has passed on.
Have u heard the version by mariann faithful yrs and yrs ago take care x
Same here 💕
I agree
I agree Wizzer. At least she's reunited with her sister Estelle. And we can all take comfort in knowing that Nedra is still alive!
И аз. Научих от вас като четях. Обичам ги! Обичам я! Амин 🙏
Just have to say There will never be a voice like Ronnie beautiful lady. I am proud I was part of that generation. Although old today and young then I feel music was the best then ,
Ronnettes, you can't find a better group to listen too, Nedra Talley is so beautiful 😊🎆👍
Absolutely - every time I watch a video of these gorgeous girls I'm always drawn to the lovely Nedra.
@@petergibson8378 I completely agree, Nedra is the prettiest woman ever! 👍🤩
Thanks for your response, we both agree Nedra is the prettiest woman ever.
Nedra only sings for "God" now and is married to a church pastor.
The opening dance in unison sequence with that great little music intro to the song is so adorable and mesmerizing. It just captivates you into a whimsical spell and lures you into the performance. Very nice!
Yes indeed ..the backlight does it all ,and the movement of course .... females!!!! 😊❤😊
Wow, love those girls. Each of them looked amazing, thank you for the wonderful music, the best girl group by far!!
I love The Ronettes!Girl groups from the 1960s were the best!
Can't believe we lost you Ronnie.. Rest Peacefully and Thank You for the music.
God only takes the best it's the same in a garden beautiful flowers only last for so long the weeds live on
One of Ronnie's best performances. Reason being: she sang live vocal with a recorded background. I wished all the rock shows in the 60s did it this way. Thanks for posting.
Singing with the angels tonight Ronnie, rip x
47 yrs later and still my favorite group ever, no group ever more prettier, all 3 but Nedra, so, so cute ! babelicious !
Love the little jiggle they do at the end.
One of the best music videos on UA-cam. Great music, great looks, great performance.
The Ronettes are just fabulous the productions of their records are superb. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

The record sold very little when it first came out. In fact, it only made it to #75 on the billboard sales chart.
We were blessed to have the best music of modern era
Every generation thinks theirs is the best

Nedra's sweet little smile around 2:38(?) was wonderful! What a little doll!
Yes, Nedra always had that 'baby face'.
gave more boys their first h.o. than playboy magazine
This has become my favourite Ronettes track since getting it on 7 inch vinyl 18 months ago. Never heard it yet on the radio.
One of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's 60s pop hits, co-written with Phil Spector in 1965.
love her voice, she died two days ago. rest in peace ronnie.
Love this song .but no one can sing be my baby like Ronnie RIP
Iit just goes to show that true beauty talent and stage presence wins we need lots more of that today the light of heaven to estelle a beautiful woman is in a beautiful place the world certainly was a more beautiful place in the sixties when the ronnetes were around
Today we get Cardi B bumping naked asses with another Cardi B type "singer."
Great intro riff, great production and great vocals by the beautiful Ronettes! Thank you for the upload and the memories!
This one could be a hit in 2020 too!
They all had a certain look.I say extremely attractive,very exotic with there mixed heritages makes them more then beautiful. If any of them has daughter's and granddaughters,I can only imagine what they look like ?

What a beautiful face.
What a beautiful voice.
What a beautiful person.

By this time, Phil Spector had fallen out of favor with radio DJ's and radio programmers and they did not promote his records like before.
They will always be the best girl group ever.

This is what performers do....!!!!
So glad she lived to see that no-good ex-husband of hers meet the end he deserved. RIP, Ronnie!
I never knew that Ronnie was so talented. The only song I ever heard was "Be My Baby."
Love and affection - forever ... !

I'd say right after his work with Lennon & Harrison.
They are in the works zendaya is playing Ronnie and Nedra’s daughter is playing her.
