the ronettes be my baby backing vocals

backing vocals with faint ronnie in back ground

[@ferstday]

Wow I always wondered what the background vocals sounded like by themselves. I can hear Sonny Bono in there so clearly! I never woulda thought a man's voice was in there, much less his!.

[@tommytwomommy]

ferstday male voices blend in

[@AraRubyan]

Cher had a lower range than Sonny.

[@feelingevaporated2912]

Male vocals are closer to the frequency of instruments. Also Sonny has a very feminine voice

[@annach7914]

Really love that « crescendo » starting at 1:13 with those marvellous vocals✨😍

[@DazBoots88]

Fantastic,,,, the making of greatness. Its like hearing a newborn baby..

[@j.g.bloodworth9837]

Brings a tear to my eye this is a big part of the soul to the song 🥲

[@SomebodyGroovy2]

Enjoyed this. Definitely Darlene Love on lead backup with others on same part, maybe Cher. Could be Sonny on the lower part. Can you imagine recording the background vocals first, maybe not knowing the lead part at all? Then singing the lead last to fill it all in. Honestly, it would be a great way to record for the lead, but maybe a little confusing for the backup singers. Anyway, thanks to Phil for his skill

[@LeChaunce]

Engineer Larry Levine has said that Cher so overpowered everyone else that they kept having to back her away from the mic.

[@haroldbailey9011]

And that’s Sonny doing the bass vocal in the track.

[@richieluckenbill1590]

​@haroldbailey9011 He's not the one singing he lower baritone/bass part. His voice is quite distinct in this mix if you listen closely. He's singing tenor.

[@ImaginaryEvil]

​@richieluckenbill1590 I agree, I'm pretty sure that's Cher doing the lowest part

[@blandmobile]

I love these "peeks behind the curtain" that show you how they did it. Thanks for posting!

[@hydraulicfan3735]

Amazing back vocals in the 60's!

[@laurierken]

This is where the magic is.

[@shankapa3182]

I always say that about bvs! The texture it gives makes it next level.

[@gordonm7038]

Divine harmonies!

[@Pimp-Master]

Haha, funny. I mean, C'mon...but the record still works anyway.

[@emmaschneider4693]

Wow, I love returning to this video. I feel like I can hear Ronnie quite strongly at some points. Cher maybe... and is that Sonny? And surely that's Estelle there too?

[@ImaginaryEvil]

Estelle didn't sing on this track. Ronnie was the only Ronette to appear on this song

[@deardre]

Fantastic vocals!🌟

[@tomanderson9257]

Rest easy, Ronnie

[@dja3606]

Sounds like Ronnie might've been on backing vocals also

[@tommytwomommy]

Definitely

[@jesusflores9726]

Cuanto sentimiento y emoción, felicidades 👏

[@notholding2]

According to reports Cher and Sonny sang along with Ellie Greenwich, and Fanita James.

[@Pimp-Master]

I can hear music..wait, I meant Sonny Bono and Ronnie, the lead singer. Yeah, mixed way down it's magic. It's quite rough though. Compare it to the Beach Boys sessions where Brian snaps his fingers and all his band fall into perfectly stacked harmonies.

[@annach7914]

This constitutes the magic of the song✨

[@thedlmreview7631]

The low vocals very strong

[@ImaginaryEvil]

That's Cher

[@acorazadobismarck37]

Correction: the female vocal before Ronnie joins sounds like Ellie Greenwich :)

[@ronetteloverz]

@behdoc It's Sonny Bono.

The most prominent female vocal sounds like Ellie Greenwich...

Where did this come from?

[@1960sBabydoll]

2:52 “Come on baby” I heard this just now and I realized that it was never on the actual record

[@tommytwomommy]

Gotta have one male voice in there for the low end

[@carolholder4881]
