My all-time favourite song, credited to Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector, used memorably in my favourite Martin Scorsese movie 'Mean Streets', and once described by Beach Boy Brian Wilson as the ultimate pop record. Do you like 'Be My Baby'?  Thanks! |

Love it, but not my favorite from the fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica, that'd be "Walking in the Rain" which "gun-to-my-head" I might just call my all-time favorite song.

Absolutely petrolino   ! The Ronettes - Be My Baby This fine song was also on the soundtrack for the movie Dirty Dancing (1987) ( which I still have on cassette tape but someday soon will want on CD ? ) . Excellent pic here of these fine ladies ( but don't know who the gentleman was in this pic with them ? ) . Thanks so much petrolino for your subject post  . |
