Be My Baby by Ronnie Spector

Be My Baby by Ronnie Spector

Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest rock memoirs of all time, Be My Baby is the true story of how Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ronnie Spector carved out a space for herself against tremendous odds amid the chaos of the 1960s music scene and beyond.

With a new introduction by Ronnie Spector.

Ronnie Spector's first collaboration with producer Phil Spector, Be My Baby, stunned the world and shot girl group the Ronettes to stardom. No one could sing as clearly, as emotively as Ronnie. But her voice was soon drowned out in Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, and lost in Ronnie and Phil's ensuing romance and marriage.

Ronnie had to fight tooth and nail to wrest back control of her life, her music, and her legacy. And while she regained her footing, Ronnie found herself recording with Stevie Van Zandt, partying with David Bowie, and touring with Bruce Springsteen.

Smart, humorous, and self-possessed, Be My Baby is a whirlwind account of the twists and turns in the life of an artist. More than anything, Be My Baby is a testament to the fact that it is possible to stand up to a powerful abuser and start on a second--or third, or fifth--act. In fact, almost six decades into her career, Ronnie Spector is still touring.

Ronnie Spector became an icon when she rose to fame as lead singer of the Ronettes, the influential girl group responsible for a string of hits that included Walking in the Rain, Baby I Love You, and Be My Baby, which Brian Wilson has called the greatest record ever made. The embodiment of the heart, soul, and passion of rock and roll, Ronnie Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008.
