The Ronettes - You Bet I Would

[planexxjane]

gosh girls were so beautiful back then...so natural and simple...so happy.

[MissyMagical]

This is my favourite. The grunts, growls and squeels are fiesty. Ronnie, you sexy thing!

[dslider1]

Even though I sort of hate to use the word I have to. This is about the cutest thing I have ever heard. You'd have to be a real ogre not to like this. p.s. Is this a one off single or part of an album?

[SirBasildeBrush]

@dslider1 Unclear from the CD notes whether it was ever released as a single as Gerry Goffin didn't think they had the right voices for this song. Written by Carole King and Artie Kaplan.

[OVtigerstripe]

@dslider1 Yes, this was first released as a single.

[daphnehoneybutt]

@dslider1 It was indeed a 45, on the May record label b/w Silhouettes

[dslider1]

@daphnehoneybutt Thanks for the info!

[doowop50s]

this one have a touch of teenage melody not typical on ronettes style , i love it!

[47yesican]

innocent lyrics********never again

[MrGreengoddess]

Fab song and i love her little squeel!

Though this is a faster tempo than "Let Me Go the Right Way", released later in 1962,by the Supremes, something similar about them. Flo begins more reserved backing sounds at 2:08 on Supremes record. The Ronettes toss in a Squeal by :40, then add more later. Was it part of the Lead track, or a backing track? The idea works so well in this song. Imagine seeing the Squeals done in

this studio recording, duplicated in a live performance. Phil Spector must have cut this classic out. Still unique.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@movingon4ever Written by Carole King and Artie Kaplan. I think this was pre-Spector, produced by Don Kirshner.

[CenaTv2]

sounds like the kind of song "The Shirrelles" would sing

[SirBasildeBrush]

@CenaTv2 You Bet They Would.

[MingnonDunn]

Precious! Their swan song to innocence

[JukeBoxJunkie10]

I love this song. Even though he gave them a lot damn Phil Spector to hell for ending their careers and Ronnie's solo career.

[supreme60s]

the Squeals are the best!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Agreed!

[cbfall]

very cool song sung by the ronettes.

believe it or not, this song is by carole king and art kaplan! AWESOME!

[coyotesong]

What great fun!!!!! And i'm one who loves the squeals....it's just a lot of fun. And of course,sorta sexy.

[ostrich67]

This song really makes me smile! The squeals and growls make me think of the high-school hotties that the Ronettes were when they recorded this. :) A lot of fun!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Real beehived cuties.

[sidney0212]

Superb Sir Basil. 5 stars and a favourite.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the stars.

[GNRSlashLover]

lol i never heard this song by them very cool.

[blackkats]

Ronnie doesn't "squeal", she grunts and growls and wraps you up until you shout with delight...that's the sound you hear! ;)

[tjecampbell]

wasn't she like 13 when she did this?

[KadaverKurt]

No, she was 3...

[ewd76]

It would be perfect, but the squeals pretty much ruin it.

[OpalineCade]

the squeals are the best part!!

[BytteBob]

Wow! I understand what Phil Spector saw in them. Can you upload anything from the "Ronnie and the relatives" time?

[SirBasildeBrush]

Unfortunatley I don't have anything from those early times at the moment.

[Aframus]

I never heard it before.

Thank you for posting.
