Almost anyone who lived through the 50s and 60s would happily go back . They were indeed wonderful times and the Music was a huge part of it . Our Boomer Soundtrack is a large and diverse one. And The Ronettes were and are a giant part of that Soundtrack. Thank You Ronnie .

@dbrew2u

So ironic that in the early 60s much of our socialization was geared to a perceived wonderful future. Man, if we only knew what would await us. Hell, almost could say that again for the 70s and 80s, absent the music of course. Yeah, go back, it is on my mind more and more as every year seems to get us closer to the ultimate troubles. At least we have our music and the memories.

Unless you were an African American living in a southern US state.

Ronnie, OH GOD, What's to Say! One Hot "BAD" Diva Singer. She Appears on the Newest PBS Special= Her Voice Sounds Great, Her "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa," Gave me Chills. She's Slim and Still Knows How To "Slam It".

[Sordidlives1973]

Blows away Bonnie Tyler

[widenhi]

If Ronnie does it, it's very good.

[mario90776]

Que agrado descubrir un nuevo tema en la voz de Ronnie... se escucha geniallll

[widenhi]

Would love to hear Darlene Love do this song. It seems made for her!

[MingnonDunn]

@widenhi I agree. I'd love to hear her version of this. Perhaps she hasn't picked it up because its C&W.

[widenhi]

@MingnonDunn Is Bonnie Tyler considered C&W?

[47yesican]

I wouldn't call this a bomb because we are all listening to it years later!

Lots of Ronnie's "Magic" is the "Vibrato" in Her Luscious Voice!

Her Voice is "Gods Gift" to All Of Us!

[Rowland108]

Ronnie recorded this in Nashville on 16th August 1977 (the day Elvis died). It was written by Bonnie Tyler's mangers. Steve Popovitch of Epic Records played Ronnie a demo after her Say Goodbye To Hollywood single bombed & he persuaded her to record it. Sadly it also bombed.

[UandMeKid]

I saw her perform this song in the early 90s. It was a bittersweet interpretation. This is thefirst time I'm hearing her studio version. It was obscure and hard to obtain. The beauty of modern technology!

[8z88z]

hmmm a very "funny" but good version of this song! love Ronnie Spector!!

[desert3347]

For a "tough girl" she puts down her "wall" when she talks of her Mother helping her escape the "Spector" mansion. What a life this woman has lived and keeps on performing for all of us!

Thanks Ronnie, Love You

[hah13]

the original was the best

[TheARosemary]

I have always loved this song. This is the first time I have heard Ronnie Spector version, I love her's the best of all, no question about it.

[rockintonight]

Yeah......the lady rocks! Always has.....always will.....go Ronnie! Great post....Thanks sooooooo much!

[Gwhitebeard]

Great song by a great singer... Song always deserved a better version than Bonnie's. She sounded like she drank a quart of seagrams and screamed for 2 hours and croaked the song like Kermit the frog!

[Desiree50]

YES ONE OF THE BEST VOICES JUST RUINED A GOOD SONG THAT BONNIE TYLER MADE.

[someoneme9]

Very Very Cool

[pbesmer]

Her live shows today are terrific

[teriharral]

Gotta luv Ronnie. You go girl such a pleasure to listen to you.

[doglips1958]

Best version of this song.Nobody sounds like Ronnie.Her voice is unique.

[viniwis]

Ronnie Spector will be a performing in concert on July 10, 2010 at The Riverside Casino And Golf Resort Riverside Iowa.

[indigomorgan1]

good stuff

[Rockyspence]

Luv ya Ronnie.....

[Desiree50]

love you ronnie you made alot of good music when i was growing up

[skaterboizjoe]

I love her voice and it isn't a Christmas unless I listen t o her and the Roonettes

[tradertom]

Phil Spctor was as great a producer as he was a maniac - but we would not have Ronnie without his A&R

[JukeBoxJunkie10]

I like this version better for some reason

[firechiefretired]

She has a one of a kind voice you can listen to all day long. Those were the days when music was at its best !

[SteveResin]

Fabulous.

[StripperDVD]

This sounds different than the 45 rpm that I own. This must be an alternate take.

[draggonheart]

Ronnie's version of this song was recorded on august 16th 1977,on the same day when Elvis Presley died.

[ishabaka]

I loved Ronnie Spector in '64 and love her today. One of the best voices and talents in rock 'n roll.

[rocmaven]

The first ever Ronnie Spector Darlene Love A Christmas Gift For You live concerts-Dec 11 parilla pac montgomery college rockville md and Dec 17 The Count Basie Theatre Red Bank NJ.

[USAlovesCanada]

Is there a video release on this performance? It would have been great to attend - still a pleasure to view. Love them both!!

[roughouserosie]

Is this on an album anywhere?

[mattslavnik]

Yes, I found it on a compilation called "Get Down Tonight-The Best of T.K. Records". It might be hard to find, however I did find a cheap copy on Amazon. Good Luck!

[roughouserosie]

Oh, thanks! I'll keep an eye out - must have some other good songs on it too!

[calvertsch]

@roughouserosie It is also on a 45 release. I recently found it on eBay but cannot remember the label--Epic?

Do an eBay search. Cal

[vazmo14850]

worked at a fm radio station when this came out...i still have my promotional Vynyl 45 of this.....one of my most cherished records....

[spintation]

thanks!

[spintation]

Wow--did she or Bonnie Tyler record it first?

[nowest]

"It's a Heartache" is a pop-country song that was recorded by Juice Newton, Bonnie Tyler and Ronnie Spector (of the Ronettes) in 1978. Tyler's version of the song which was produced by David Mackay proved to be the biggest hit in the UK. However, Newton's version went Gold in Mexico and was the original charting version in the United States, peaking at #86 on Billboard's Hot 100 before Tyler's quickly released cover version Newton's single's chart success.

[robinandthe7hoods]

The best female singer ever.

[oldolds53]

I'm almost willing to agree with you!

She's amazing!

[33timothy]

My favorite singer...the B side of this song (45rpm) is great also...

"I wanna come over"

[ostrich67]

Is that the "I wanna come over" recorded by Melissa Etheridge?

[33timothy]

I just listened to ME's...not the same.

[SgtOBrien]

Ronnie, I love you! Very great version.

[gillisgrant]

I've really been wanting to hear this. It's lovely!

[settenor1963]

excellent!!
