This doesn't sould like a rare track. It sounds like you only are palying either the left or right channel of the recording. Old records generally had the vocals on one channel and the music on the other.
I quite enjoyed this, but I'd love to know just how many people were doing back up vocals. I've read that Phil Spector sometimes had a lots of session singers, icluding Cher I believe, on many of his productions.
To me though, Darlene Love will always be the voice for Sppector
Look at that waif-like face!! My God! She's such a beautiful, sweet looking girl. Phil had to be out of his mind being privileged to see that face in front of him.
Man...I tell ya...with all of this new high tech recording done now that makes anyone sound good...it's amazing to hear how good these women are...no voice shaping, no synthesizers...etc...
@myraredoowop This box set, as described here, is not on Amazon, as you suggested, that I could find. All they have is the Philles label box set. I'd much prefer the outtakes, studio chat and alternate takes such as I've heard here on your YouTube videos. Isn't there a way to get a copy of that? I tried signing up for your radio shows on WKTR (?) so I could contact you there, but the downloaded programs didn't work.
@myraredoowop Hi. I apologize for the confusion. I thought that the recordings were of you. Thank you for your generous offer! I was hoping to get a copy of the complete box set as I'm a big fan of those artists and Phil's work. I also love studio outtakes, chit chat etc. I'm sure I don't have to explain to you the attraction of that. Thanks, again.
Phil took Ronnie out to Los Angeles (from New York) to record this at Gold Studios in Hollywood. Estelle and Nedra fulfilled the commitment the girls had made earlier and went on Dick Clark's tour with their cousin Elaine taking the 3rd spot. Cher and Darlene Love are singing background here and on the final recording. I often wonder what Estelle and Nedra thought, felt when this song made it to #24 and they weren't part of it? Phil jacked everyone around, and now he is rotting in prison.
@PaulDePace He's never getting out either! If there was any justice, Ronnie, Nedra & Estelle's estate should get the milions they are owed out of his money -- he's not gonna need it anymore! He screwed so many people over, but I personally hold him responsible for what became of Estelle. Now he's finally getting what he deserved for being such a evil, cocky little bastard.
@PaulDePace Just seems greed runs amuck in this business on the production and management side. Sad. Tommy James book "Me, the music and the mob" recalls how Morris Levy screwed with his acts.
@PaulDePace Would you say that Brian Wilson Of The Beach Boys was inspired by Phil as a Record Producer? Did any of his groups get any Royalties from their recordings since they have been featured in shows like China Beach, Goodfellas, The Wonder Years, The Pickup Artists, not to mention Dirty Dancng.
God, this is just sheer heaven!!!! Thanks, raredoowop, a million times over!!! Their voices are so sweet and just plain wonderful to behold without the instruments.
@sierria64 Guy, you haven't heard very many pop vocalists sans instrumentalists I'm assuming. You are a minority of one if you think Ronnie's voice is awful. At 16 she could out sing just about any female from the 20th century not named Aretha Franklin or Patsy Cline.
Much appreciated, thanks. But would that have been Nedra and Estelle on backing vocals? I understood that, although they sang on Be My Baby, it was just Spector's studio regulars on this one.
I'm a big french fan of the ronettes...The voices of Veronica, Estelle and Nedra are, for me, surely, the sound of the paradise...Thank's for this diamond...Merci au grand Phil Spector
Wow, this is awesome! Hearing all their voices without the music is great! I like being able to hear The Ronettes voices when they are not competing with Spector's "wall of sound". Thank you so much for posting!

It's not the power of her voice, which is scary, it's also that she seems to have a natural style and ability to phrase.
