WHO ARE THESE WOMEN?! *First Time Hearing* The Ronettes - Be My Baby | REACTION

[@darealadogg]

CHECK OUT MY WIFE LISTENING TO THE RONETTES FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ3ZnIxudt2Gn7s

[@dagmar.6954]

This is another one of the fabulous girl groups from the early 60's. Phil Spector produced this group. He later married the lead singer Ronnie. They had some great hits including "Baby, I Love You", "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up", "Walking In The Rain", "Do I Love You?" etc. Sadly we lost Ronnie this year but she left a great legacy of her music.

[@rebeccalipps23]

What I appreciate most with this performance is that these women are shaking what GOD gave them without being lewd. So many current female artists show all their bits & pieces claiming artistic expression. Boring, IMHO. Seen it, thanks.

[@philm9593]

It took her years to escape him. Toxic and abusive relationship. Remember he would die in prison for the murder of Lana Clarkson.

[@58fcorley]

My friend, you have no idea of the enormous treasure trove of musical talent you still get to explore. You are in a great journey and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the trip. 🙂

[@tlgarrison8433]

Well said!

[@stacie4170]

She also sang with Eddie Money.

[@JoeYello]

The lead singer is Ronnie Spector, the backup singers are her older sister and cousin. A family group. I got goosebumps watching this even though I’ve seen dozens of times.

[@Cynthia...]

This is the music I grew up with and danced to all the time. LOVE it. ❤ Unfortunatly they were short songs back then.

[@donaldduck2139]

I must have been dancing with you to this way back when then, me in my parents lounge and you in yours 😅 we had some good sounds back then didn't we . . . yeah!

[@Cynthia...]

@@donaldduck2139 we sure did. Quack quack. 🦆

[@walkofnails2923]

I didn’t know about them until the 80’s when Eddie Money did a song called Take Me Home Tonight and Ronnie was in the video and sang a Be My Little Baby line throughout the song. She still had it 🙌🏼😎

[@Texashog11]

Eddie knew she was down on her luck after having left the music industry due to Phil Specter’s treatment of her so he asked her to bein the video to help her out and remind people of her. Definitely need to see the video of that song.

[@ronkrupovich7152]

Used to play the 45 record of this song over and over. I was a kid and I absolutely adored the song and the singers! Brings back great memories.

[@SK-lk3iu]

This was my first purchased 45 record ever! Seems like the studio version was just a bit livelier.

[@skiptrace1888]

Ronnie had the most unique voice of all time. No one can sound like that except her! Fabulous!

[@johnturner1073]

I have loved them since 1964 and I envy anyone hearing their magic for the first time. The Wall of Sound will live forever.

[@debbielopez2544]

The Ronnettes, The Crystals, The Shirelles, The Shangri-las, The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas... were the top girl groups from the early sixties... they have tremendous Christmas songs also... Phil Spector had a hand with the sound of the Ronnettes, Crystals, and the Righteous Brothers.. later on he helped Tina Turner with a hit song River Deep Mountain High... Phil Spector died in 2021 ( due to Covid ) while serving time in prison for murder...

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

The Supremes were a mid 1960s group.

[@colinstevens2691]

In my top 10 songs of all time. Fabulous vocals and that Phil Spector wall of sound. Perfection 👍😊

[@flutesong5527]

The 60s rocked Adogg - seriously rocked!

[@frits4ever]

Love your reaction. "ho, i didn't see that coming " with that big and loud laugh of yours. That was genuinely felt...

[@gottabeemee]

Now, here's a picture of what great music girl groups can make while fully dressed, no tattoos, or piercings 😁 Classy, simple, little bit of choreography and a nice beat...that was the 60's...From the Shirelles to the Supremes..stuff your Mom listened to before you came along 😂😂😂🎷🎵🎤🎹🎶🎸🥁🎶PEACE!!

[@sallybannister6224]

100% .. Well said .x

[@lgot123]

This song was the first “wall of sound” records produced by Ron Spector, who later married Ronnie, the lead singer

[@sallybannister6224]

Phil Spector

[@lgot123]

[@edithdavis2848]

One of several girl groups at the time. Perfect group lovely voice.

[@Peachy08]

They were classy! This one gave me chills!

[@kenpatton8761]

Aaahhhh… Spector’s “Wall of Sound”! He really blew the doors off when he came up with that! A first for everyone! Cheers

[@GinMae]

Oh, yeah, Adogg! Give it up for Ronnie! (Veronica Bennett-Spector) She was amazing.. I met her once and she was sweet and charming!

[@randyem6910]

Beautiful clean music from my childhood.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

Ronnie (Veronica) Spector died earlier this year. She was probably the hottest leader of the hottest female group in the 60s. It wasn't just her looks that was great, it was also her voice. It was strong, powerful and dynamic. With her back up they were perfectly attuned to their orchestration background. The orchestration was done by Phil Spector (who she was married to at one time), the creator of the "wall of sound." Great music.

[@leemcintyre9490]

AMAZING! RONNI SPECTOR Is the Lead on this! GREAT VOCALS from her as always! Phil Spector 's Best Contribution to Music!🎶

[@MothGirl007]

Anything produced by Phil Spector is well worth your time to check out. He had an awesome Christmas album that is amazing and has a lot of songs in this same style too.

[@timcarr6401]

Too bad he was an evil human.

[@sallybannister6224]

Brilliant production and tunes from Phil Spector. but goodness , he had a very dark side ... Makes Darth Vader look like a choir boy

[@Christina-xu1yd]

Great music.

[@carollittle1059]

OMG they were huge in the 60's

[@larrywalling4682]

😎👍 One of my favorite songs

[@melvee1624]

Check out the leàd singer Ronnie Spector with Eddie Money, song Take Me Home Tonight. Came out in the 80s

[@musik102]

Great reaction...an endless smile!

[@philm9593]

Phil Spector and the Wall of Sound. Like you, I just kept on smiling.

[@victoriafuller245]

❤️ the Ronettes..

[@suzie4417]

The Ronettes were Very popular in the 60’s, another fantastic girl group that totally affected young women 😊 They showed us how to dance, move, wear nice outfits do our hair & make up & especially how to sing along to great songs! (The best thing Ronnie Spector ( lead singer) did was get away from her marriage to Phil Spector who was a nasty man who was jealous & controlling & abusive.)😠 Ronnie, her sister & cousin were IT & always will be. So glad you discovered them & Love your reaction 💜. RIP dear Ronnie, I still cry over losing her, she was such a huge part of young women’s lives from when this group first started 💎

[@carollittle1059]

Thar hand movement at the end is from a dance called The Jerk.

[@j20tower]

Another one of the great girl groups of the 60, with lead singer Ronnie Specter.

[@EastPeakSlim]

As a sixteen year old white boy, this song and TV appearances by Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes caused certain... urges. Great stuff. Thanks for reacting.

[@carissamarple]

This is my song for my son, when he was born this song just came to my heart. He's a teenager now so he hates when I play it.. but secretly I think he loves it 🥰

[@lindygirl3572]

I love it!! ❤

[@eskayh7734]

"Be My Baby" was a single released in 1963; the song was the Ronettes' biggest hit, reaching #2 in the U.S. and #4 in the UK. It's regarded by some as the greatest pop record of all time. This group was actually a big influence on Amy Winehouse, especially when it came to writing and recording her second album. Another UK singer, Mutya Buena, samples "Be My Baby" on her song "B Boy Baby" and it's Amy on the background vocals. Check it out when you get a chance. Great reaction!!!

[@GinMae]

Yes - after Amy passed, Ronnie did a version of her song: Back to Black.. isn't it ironic? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJCoc6eVepZkjKs

We just lost Ronnie Specter. What a great talent.

[@sharonannrees2824]

That's Motown man!

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

That's wrong man! The Ronettes had nothing to do with Motown Records. What makes you people think this has anything to do with Motown Records? Do you actually know anything about Motown? Obviously not.

❤️❤️❤️

[@niamtxiv]

❤❤❤ the shirelles is good too

[@rubyleuty9417]

It was actually Ronnie and the Ronnettes.

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

No, they were "The Ronettes" on all their single releases. 1album credits them as"The Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica, and 1album credits them as The Ronettes featuring Veronica.

[@owlman621]

Produced by the mad genius Phil Spector who was married to Ronnie Spector, the lead vocalist. Their marriage was a disaster, but in the studio they were magical.

[@donstand2195]

Ronnie Spector was a beautiful woman with a great voice

[@ladyhawk7483]

Yes! You found Motown let’s do some more Motown!!!!!!

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

The Ronettes never recorded on Motown Records nor any of its subsidiary labels. They were from NYC and recorded in L. A. They had no connection with Detroit.

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

This is pure Mowtown - never anything better !!!

[@sallybannister6224]

It's not Motown , named after Detroit. ... Motor Town

[@donaldduck2139]

this was actually a hit twice I think, definitely in the early 60s when it came out and then again about 10 years later or just over in 74 or 75, well back in New Zealand it was...

this is where Mariah’s sleigh ride came from . the Ronettes

Ronnie has a great, Santa Claus is Coming to town. She was married to abuser Phil SPECTOR. FYI SONNY and Cher sing backup on this record.
