roni can be heard singing in the Eddie Money song "Take me home tonight" Answering when he sings "Just like Roni said......"

Ronnie Spector explained in her autobiography (which was also titled Be My Baby) how she came up with that "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh" line. When she was a little girl, she tried to yodel when she sang Jambalaya by Hank Williams at a family gathering. Instead, she blurted out that line. She stopped singing and began to cry because she thought she ruined the song. Her parents told her that it was a happy accident and encouraged her to sing that line. So, her "Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh" became her trademark for the rest of her career. 😊

The drumbeat behind this song is iconic - it is the masterful work of Hal Blaine of the Wrecking Crew and the 'Hal Blaine backbeat' was echoed in dozens of rock and roll songs throughout the 60s and beyond.

Amy Winehouse got her look from Ronnie. Teri Garr was the dancer on the top left.

The group that brought the Beatles to America. They came in part to meet Ronnie. She is mentioned in so many classic songs, from Bennie and the Jets by Elton John (her last name was Bennet) to Night Moves by Bob Seger. Classy, iconic lady.

Brian Wilson said this was the greatest song ever.

Great way to brighten up my day, (eclipse and all) I got the chance to meet Ronnie, sweetest person! She actually sang the harmonies on the album because her backups weren't ready vocally yet. Liked your reaction.

More 60s girlgroups please!!! Love the Ronettes. Also the Shangri-las. Beautiful songs

I grow up with all the best music and artists. The 50's-60's-70's. Here in Sweden we had to listen to records or radio Luxemburg or music from the radio pirate ships anchored on international water outside the coast as they where illegal.

Brian Wilson played this song a million times. It's his favorite pop song, directly inspired Don't Worry Baby.

This was great! They are all so beautiful too, and classy… no need to flaunt their bodies for attention.

Those dancers are awesome.

Ms. Maggie Renee, you might enjoy checking out the cover Blue Öyster Cult made of this classic. 🤘🏻

The chorus is so pleasing BECAUSE it uses the strongest 4 chord movement in music which is a 1,6,4,5 in a major key.

The boots the dancers are wearing are called Go Go boots! I remember being the first at my school to have a pair. Even though to get a pair was over an hour away, 7 other girls showed up with them the next day at school! My and my best friend wanted to grow up to be Go Go Dancers!!!! LOL

The thank you at the end was faboo

Thanks for doing this one. Big Ronettes fan, and was very pleased with the Eddie Money video of "Take Me Home Tonight" in which Ronnie did her 'Be My Baby' thing. Check out "Walking in the Rain", which is a great performance, just not so up-front in-your-face as "Be My Baby".

Great song, Was also in the movie dirty dancing.

One of many girl groups and singers out of the Brill Building. Ellie Greenwich a major writer, there is a musical about her, Leader Of The Pack, (The Ellis Greenwich Story) and her songs, many you probably recognize.
