About the song-
In November 1964, the Ronettes released "Walking In the Rain" (Philles 123), their most dramatic song to date. The Mann/Weil/Spector written ballad reached number twenty three and won a Grammy for Best Sound Effects, the only Grammy Spector ever received.
Ronnie Spector amazingly completed her vocals on the first take, and she did so beautifully- Her poignant phrasing and honest soulful singing is what makes this record so special and so believable. Add to that the haunting ethereal chorus by Estelle and Nedra and lush and dramatic "Wall of Sound" orchestration/production by Phil Spector and you have the perfect teen rock symphony.

Pushing 82 yrs old now and still listen to this tune. One of great early 60s pop songs.

Rest In Peace, Ronnie Spector. The world is better because of your wonderful music.

You don't know what it was like hearing this song from the Ronnettes as a teenager in the 60s. Rest in peace Ronnie .

RIP Ronnie Spector. You had a one of a kind voice and will be missed especially at Christmas time.

When I heard we lost Ronnie today (01-12-22), I thought of my sister. In 1964 I was 9 and she was 12. Sis would make me walk around our NJ neighborhood with her at night - in the rain - while she sang this song. We'll miss you, Ronnie.

I am glad that she lived longer than that SOB Phil ....he put her through a living hell....Rest in Peace Ronnie, your voice always gave my goosebumps more goosebumps.

I'm mortified that anything could have happened to Ronnie Spector! Such people should be forever! Listening to something as beautiful as Walking In The Rain Helps.

Another great song by one of the greatest girl bands that ever was
-
This is the kind of music the music industry needs to get back to...this sound never grows old, only gets better with age.

R. I. P. Ronnie you will truly be missed by me and millions of people around the world and thank you for the music and great songs

I was a 12 year old little boy when this came out. Might sound weird, but it made me cry...so freaking beautiful!
-
One of my favorites from the '60's. Ronnie's voice is angelic, the harmonies are incredible.🎵💙
-
When I hear these girls singing, I wish time could stop around that era. Any one else feel like that?
-
well, if this was the only thing she was to be remembered by, it still remains a magnificent memorial to a wonderful voice. RIP.

I still remember walking on the sand by Lake Erie on the light rain with my friends Kathy, Alan, Tim, Frank, Shiela, and others. That was 1965, I left that fall for the Marines and the whole world changed. I would love to walk in the rain again

Phil Spector may be crazy, but his production was unparalleled. Listen to the complexity of this song and then realize it is almost 60 years old. Amazing.
-
As Brian Wilson said in some interview: "once you hear Be My Baby for the first time, you're a fan for life." Well, in my personal opinion, the same can be said for this song. It's dynamics, along with Ronnie's voice and the echo of the guitar chords swirling around just makes this song completely irresistible. I seem to never get tired of hearing it again and again...
-
It just doesn't get any better, 1964 I was 18yrs old and employed by Uncle Sam this song was one of the best. I did make it back home in 1967...
-
Ronnie said she did this vocal in one take -- so that Phil wouldn't abuse her for taking too much time. Hearing the joy & longing in her beautiful voice shows how remarkable an artist she was. RIP
-
So sad that Ronnie has left this world....she brought us so much happiness and sunshine. I will remember happier days when I hear her singing with the Ronnettes!
