  • What I love about this video as much as the song and the group are the shots of the wonderfully diverse audience, e.g. black, white, and Asian all sitting next to one another and truly enjoying their company, letting the music bring them together regardless of race. :)

  • @colsohutube21 I would love to see a Movie about Phil Spector and have Jessica Leccia (Ex-Natalia Guiding Light, Ex Inez Salinger One Life To Live) to play her. She'd be great.

  • I searched beavers how did this come up?

  • i love fashion from 60s!:)

  • Wow these girls are sexy! The one in the middle is amazing.

  • aw ronnie, take me home tonight!

  • ronnie's voice was really different and she made her personal imprint on music forever.just fantastic

  • RIP Estelle Bennet

    

  • ronnie had a birthday! happy birthday ronnie! lalu!

  • Wagneryan - "RIP dear lady!"??!?! Oh no no no no no ... "The Voice America's Teenage Boys Fell in Love With" is still going strong.

    On August 2, Ronnie is releasing a version of Amy Winehouses' "Back to Black" with proceeds going to Daytop Village - a center for substance abuse in New York City. Perhaps you're thinking of "Ronette" Estelle Bennett (who passed in late July) - but Ronnie is alive and well and is still touring - see her website for locations and times!

  • @Justice7147

    I meant RIP for Estelle...had the names crossed.

    I've been a Ronnie lover forever.

  • Comment removed

  • i had a big crush on her i was 11 at the time. love her music

  • *sigh* to live in this era must of been grand

  • @Nevermore2007 It was.. :)  Not like todays junk.. :) Can't ever bring those days back :(

  • Pure "CLASS"

  • Back in the 1960's I was a teenager. I can remember many of the videos from watching TV shows back then. It was very different back in the 60's. Life was simpler, and so was the music.

  • Love the Ronettes...especially Ronnie

  • Nedra is on fire here ...pardon the exspression one hot babe..

  • Their hair was so big and gorgeous!

  • @hellolivia93 Big hair!

  • bummer-the lighting director screwed up-you cant see the girls at the begining. still great stuff

  • Ronnie Spencer looks as great today as she did then. It's amazing how the passage of time makes us realize how great songs like this really were. They stand the test of time, and that really defines greatness.

  • @tallyshark I agree.I love you tube because of this.One of the great criations ever.This music is timeless.I go creazy listening to this..and i was born in 1984!...music was so good back then...

  • from 1964 to 65 to can compare the difference in style and also the way the camera man is filming them...things just got worse as the years went on, by 1966 it was all over for class and cool. BECAUSE OF THE DAM BEATLE INVASION .

  • who ever this Kiladose is he don't know a things there are dozenof girl -groups out there in the 60s i mean dozens and they all were great groups!! Including the Ronnetes with Ronnie Spector who I always had a crush on her. I'm will always love her...the most..BIGBADLAMONT..if you reading this Mrs, Ronnie here a kiss to you!! your loyal fan BIGBADLAMONT

  • They're mannerisms are all Supremesesque here. In their earlier performances not so much. I guess The Supremes were emerging at "The" girl group and they emulating them.

  • Which black & whate show was this from?

  • Da-doodoo-ron-ron-ronettes

  • Message to the Ignoramus Killa Dose or whatever...You bring Shame to our Culture and Society.The great Girl Groups of the fifties and sixties deserve our love and respect.They have given us so much.Killa Dose idiot,you cant hang,get out of our country....you dirty up our space....Carmen

  • Thanks for sharing this video of these ladies. The Ronnetts will go down in history as one of the best female acts of all time, I never get tired hearing their music especially this song. To all that are hearing it for the first time, enjoy. To all that love hearing it over and over, Classic music never dies. Enjoy!

  • I love the Ronettes, BUT, one of the reasons why these groups, amongst others, are 'legends' is because western culture, post-colonialism, took the world by the nose and determined 'quality' after discounting other cultural input.

    To be honest, even though i like it, i'm aware that much of western music can be classed under the 'juvenile' and 'superficial' genre. But you have to have more of a personality to know otherwise. Children making music, that's what it essentially is.

  • @according2ed you must be english,you sure are self rightous and pompous.

  • Message to the Jerk ( KillaDose ) , please stop posting profanity on YouTube , we are not impressed with your lack of vocabulary to express thoughts . You degrade women when you publicly post the Profanity that you did . Remember you Mother is a woman , we all have thoughts about our desires , but a Public domain like YouTube is not the place for it . Would you want your Daughter to read stuff like that ? More Likely you don't have to worry no lady would marry you !

  • @flamingember71 haha, zealot! "Fucking" love the Ronettes and Scorsese, both have extreme class.

  • As a fan of metal, techno, hiphop, folk, I have to say, these women kicked major ass. The whole motown, Phil Spektor scene was phenomenal

  • Wow!

  • Those are some nice looking lady's " Love there music . That's Class !!!!!

  • man there soo beautiful!!!!!!!

  • 1965 i was wearing my tight chino's, white socks and cockroach killers, brill cream, an ID bracelet , never could afford a leather jacket. Carried my transitor radio with me, just in case a new song came out . Miss those days.

  • Jennifer

  • They Will Never Die Because We Wont Stop Watching and Listening To Them.

    I Still Have My 45 Of Be My Baby.

    Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa========Ronnie

  • Just.... love it!!!!!  Today's pop is shit.....

  • That chick is so sexy! Too bad the songs back then were so short ~

  • Little Did I Know That When I Played This Song, My Favorite of All Times, Almost 50 yrs. Ago, I Would Be Sitting At My PC Watching These "3" BEAUTIFUL Women Singing their Music to All of Us.

    Their Music is "BREATH TAKEING", "MESMERIZING"& "HEART POUNDING".

  • cool characters man, love their sound!

  • Ronnie is a sweetheart.

  • @MaceMn They're all sweethearts.

  • @1950tomcat True.

  • "You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is BS and you know it." ...........Mean Streets

  • they are so cute!

  • @latingem cute? that look was the look of a bad ass woman back in the day! they look kick ass!!!

  • What Beautiful voices & Beautiful Ladies , I wish I would of been able to see the Ronettes  perform , you Just fall in Love with them they are so Gorgeous . The Female groups from those times are just unequaled . It's to bad that todays Ladies Groups just doesn't realize that that style of performance & singing is what is Quality music !

  • Love this...pure, sweet and down to earth, the way it should be. Today's music has died, as it is based on power money and greed...so sad for everyone...has lost it's heart and soul. The girls look like natural dolls (compliments of God), not like the ugly barbie doll image girls/women try to mold themselves into today (compliments of surgeons). I love the natural beauty God gave us, and so many have sadly forgotten this today in so many aspects of our lives.

  • I was a 21year old in 1965 and I loved this song never got tired of it. Great music....

  • I love the oldies. Motown is one of my favorites. You can never bring it back. It was the best music. It had great rhythm, melodies, clean and had lots of meaning. So much of the music today is satonic in nature and is not good examples for our youth. Black singers are one of the best. Gos has given them gifts no other race has. Each race have their own gifting. When it comes to music, its the black folks. I am not writing as a black woman. Miriam

  • @HeavenlySpices You are absolutly right and ITA, but the Ronnettes were not with Motown, just FYI :-)

  • How could anyone dislike this????? This is the best of Rock music.

  • no smoke and mirrors, and no lip syncing, classic

  • @starrysurprise2 They are great, but are def lipsycing - dude - get real!

  • beautiful song well sung amazing Be my Baby

  • That is back when the US was under a totalitarian control. Well, it is kind of like that now.... Look how orderly the people were. Dressed up. People could not even go on TV dressed loosley. I guess they did not think that they were in check then. No different than Russia or some place that controls it's people.

  • @n0gar

    Totalitarian control?

    Surely you jest. Otherwise, some advice.

    Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut, when it is obvious that you know little or nothing of which you talk.

  • @bobbytiger : Yep. Just becuase they did not call it that does not mean it was not that. Eevry government practices propaganda - the US included.

  • @n0gar

    Granted. Every government does practice propaganda.

    But, let me assure you, (as you are incorrect in your assumption),

    that the US was not, and currently is not,

    an undemocratic, one-party, dictatorial, or fascist country, as you claim it to be.

    You have the right to say that,

    just as everyone has the right to say things that are not true.

  • Estelle, the one in middle passed away in 2010 she was sister to Ronni the one on the right. The one on the left is their first cousin. She married some Christian network man, can't remember his name.

  • @Tiny1bme Wikipedia has the answer, 

  • all three...very, very, very sexy....and i bet they still look sexy today.....oh yea!

  • such beautiful girls..............love them all

  • snooki hair

  • I really don't know what they have but it has 'something' that makes me really wanna dance and sing along xD haha and I simply love this style they have! :D

  • 正に「完璧な曲」!エバーグリーンポップス!ロニーの声も可愛い­し、ハル・ブレインの凄まじいドラムも最高!

  • One of the best 45 of the music history ! Thanks Phil (Spector)

  • if i had a chance i will never let u go. since the daay i say you i have been waiting

    for you.  for every kiss you give me i'll give you three... be my little baby....bear

  • Agreed! They look awesome!

  • These honeys are the definition of sex & talent on legs...I'll be your baby anytime!...

  • Talent and class-----period.

  • While they were before my time... I think they were so pretty and sexy and thier sound was great.. the ones of today sure they have those skin tights and look great but something about these old ones makes them mush sexier and desireable

  • @keko922 They were almost before my time..Since I was born the fall before this record was released

  • Just watched Ronnie do an original Christmas song on Letterman tonight, so I had to come and check out some earlier stuff here. She still sounds awesome... What a legendary voice!

    Thanks for the memory!!

  • The Ronettes are beyond 'cool' - they exemplify that timeless, tiny percentage of style-starting youth who don't give a f*ck. They started something totally fresh and new at the time. Who, on the charts right now, can you say that about?

    Not only did they not bother to 'be cool' and fit in, but instead they came out of left field with some random attitude and style straight out of the NYC Spanish ghetto- and it ended up hypnotizing kids around the world.

  • Amazing

  • For those of us of a certain age this was the time of our lives. What an era for music.

  • Ronnie Bennett's voice haunts me. She hits notes in perfect pitch, and it just blows my mind.

  • I thought they were White

  • Anyone else catch the guy tapping the girl on the head infront of her to let her know she's on camera? it's at 1:38 hahah

  • Ronnie!!!!!!

  • Go Ronnie Go

  • The Ronnettes were an awesome group. I remember the early sixties. It was a good time that were will never see again. What more can I say...

  • @bnsf1986 Entiendo; es como una expresión beisbolera. Pues sí, el papá de Nedra, un paisano tuyo,  "se voló la barda" con una hija preciosa y talentosa.

  • @bnsf1986 ¡Amigo, qué coincidencia que tú eres de P.R.! Dime, ¿la expresión es "siempre hay uno que la pone en China"? Nunca la había oído (yo soy mexicano); ¿qué significa?

  • ii LiiVe 4 2:04 WheN The BeaT droPs <3 *StaR*

  • tHiiS iiS MY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng *StaR*

  • @bnsf1986 Estoy de acuerdo contigo: ella es la linda Nedra Talley. Por sus venas corre sangre puertorriqueña.

  • I personally like Nedra, she has the look! I wish I was that age.

  • They were all good looking but Estelle Bennett (the one in the middle) was really GORGEOUS - man, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

  • First single I ever bought. Still love it !

  • R.I.P Esttelle. you three was the best forever,,

  • I don't mean to be negative, but all they need here are white shoes and they could pass as nurses LOL

  • One of the all time greatest !

  • Heard this on radio yesterday....Tremendous memories.. At Disco`s ...everyone got up to dance to this ...Halcyon days....Sad about Phil though..

  • These girls are talented and very sexy! I was 20 y.o. when this was made. It certainly ranks as one of the best rock songs ever made. It's as close to pure magic as you can come! How pretty are these girls compared to the painted, pierced and tattooed freaks that sliver areound stages these days?(Also no talent!)

  • I think i have a crush, good lord they are gorgeous!

  • @82jdog ALL Of Them

  • Comment removed

  • Hahaha.. the audience looks like they're at a funeral. Retards.

  • If someone remakes this song Please Please Don't Forget The Phil Spector Sound with it.

  • shes is gorgeous and an amazing voice :D xx

  • Ronnie is a Goddess, without a doubt!

  • i love 60's!!

    this song starts like "Sex" by The Pipettes

    (:

  • So beautiful, their hair is huge! love it.

  • "iintoxicating" is my word for their sound and look!! 50 years from now they will still be legends.....and people will be always stop and listen......very cool chicks indeed!!!

  • Still get goosebumps as well. I think Estelle is very beautiful. The Ronettes could have rivaled the Supremes.

  • Thank goodness Phil Spector let HB loose on the drums. Great!

  • Yellowcup87 you twat! alot of the early punk bands loved The Ronettes!

  • this song still gives me goosebumps

  • Enthusiastic crowd.

  • It's look like scary movie

  • wheres the microphones?

  • That crowds weird. They seem bored or something.

  • Zeke is NOT a moron - he is a CRETIN!

  • Ronnie and Mary Weiss. Now that would be a dream duet.

  • Estelle was the most beautiful ronette!

  • yellowcup87 Dude you need to relax.

  • They were hot

  • *Recordings that featured Veronica, Estelle, and Nedra ONLY? *Do I Love You?. *I Can Hear Music. *So Young. *I Wonder. *WhatD I Say?. And ofcourse their Xmas songs.

  • *I disagree @Gymnastyx? Y would Estelle break their necks driving to L.A. to sing on *Baby I Love You? If they DIDNT sing on *Be My Baby? Cher ONLY sang on *Walking In The Rain!

  • one hit wonder

  • I find their little hip wiggle and elbow movement on the chorus infinitely sexier than any of the grinding and booty shaking so called "singers" do today.

  • @yoursuchagoodguy I completely agree with you. Watching this girl Nedra dancing makes me wish my life was diferent (And I dislike the fact that the editor focused on the public 1:34 right in the moment when the girls start their sexiest dancing!)

  • @yoursuchagoodguy hell yeah..me too!...fwwoaarrr!...

  • @yoursuchagoodguy I agree

  • @yoursuchagoodguy  Totally agree with you! They were so feminine and sexy! no Rihannas or Beyonces matches up to them!!!

  • What happened?

    Music has changed so much...

    It's unfortunate music like this isn't composed.

    Now this was MUSIC.

    Romantic, Beautiful Music.

  • @yellowcup87 If you hate the 60's so much then why are you watching this?? It doesn't make sense. Personally I love the 60's and I love the 80's as well. Some music IS a bit samey, I admit, but this isn't everything.

    This is much better than the rubbish you hear now which isn't even considered music! Compare Lady Gaga to the Ronnettes.

  • @yellowcup87 Also singers back then had talent! If you didn't have talent, you didn't get into the music industry. Nowdays people don't give a shit about talent. They just take in for what is worth to make money. That's all it's about now. That's why most songs now don't have any lyrics or soul. This was when they did it for entertainment and people enjoyed themselves. I bet you're one of those people who hated everything before your time.

  • @yellowcup87 Its the 60's, try typing in music from the 80s instead. you should get everything you want then.

  • @yellowcup87 you punk ass bitch. Your momma sucks cock and swallows. The 60's made the 80's you moron. You wouldn't know that since you were still swimming around in your dad's balls.

  • @oakland3496 No need to overreact. It's his/her opinion. I disagree and that's all I can say.

  • @yellowcup87 Your comment about this Ronette's video and the Sixties was appalling. The eighties had their moments too. Some of the Sixties was poor, but your pathetic language shows that your are just an uneducated Arsehole. I only hope that you don't reproduce. I guess you are an American. Would I be correct, Arsehole??

  • @upyerpipes Oh so you're cursing at me but not at twats like oakland who not only curses every second but also uses disgusting foul words as well?!

    In my case the sixties were crap compared to the eighties! The music in that era just doesn't have any style! It's all exactly the same, boring and just... rubbish!

    I had hoped the Ronnettes would have a unique style but they don't. Every 60's girl band is exactly the same!

  • @upyerpipes And for your information I'm British not American. You're the one who's an uneducated arsehole.Assuming I'm American just because of my opinion?! How stupid are you??

  • @yellowcup87 By your comments you do appear to be a moron. Please refrain from your tirades and move on. Go home a turn the lights out.

  • @zeke1312 WTF?! I was only stating my fucking OPINION!!!! YOU lot are the morons! You can't accept criticism!

  • @yellowcup87 Well judging by your comments you didn't JUST say you liked the 80's better, you said you hated the the music from the 60's and the 60's were retarded and were also lashing out on The Ronnettes.

    You've got nasty comments simply because you're the one who started it off. It's your own fault. If you had stated your opinion in a more considerate manner, you wouldn't have had this problem.

  • @perfume1965 Well said! 

  • @soulgirl66 Thank you!

  • @perfume1965 HOW is it my fault?! Okay maybe I did insult The Ronnettes a bit but I was just stating that it's way too cheesey and samey and then all you fuckers think I'm being very very rude or something! It's Youtube I can say what I want so fuck off all of you!!

  • @zeke1312 I only said I like the 80's better and you all accuse me of being a moron! I got abused first by some cunt and then you do nothing to HIM but all blame me!!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE YOU TWATS!!!!

  • @yellowcup87 You're a moron that has no clue about music so shut the fuck up kid, stop playing on your computer and get a life and some knowledge about music cause you are just embarassing yourself in front of the whole world with such idiotic and immature comments.

  • @grga888 You people are fucking twats!!! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Stop overreacting!!! I just don't like 60's music!!! I find it too boring and samey!!!! Just because I don't have the same taste as you doesn't mean you should go overboard like that and hate on me for what I said on liking other music better!!! Just leave me the fuck alone you cunts!!!

  • @yellowcup87 What the heck is wrong with you? You're a fuckin cunt you idiot, if you don't like this kind of music than grow up moron and go watch something you like. Get it cockroach? Nobody is overreacting, you are simply acting (at least that is the way you sound): like an uneducated moron that has no clue about music, who is full of hate, so shut the fuck up.

  • I love you Ronnie, I'll be your baby.

  • I can't make up my mind so I'll have all three

  • I feel so lucky to have grown up with these songs . Ronnie was such a babe !

  • just love them

  • I refuse call her Ronnie Spector considering that freak of an EX is rotting in prison and is responsible for keeping her career in check...veronica bennett is just fine. When you look at the trash performing these days...these ladies are without compare

  • @MrBooRadly

    ain't it the truth. they were pure class, pure talent.
