[amburgacker]

L'effet stéréo magnifie ce tube merveilleux sans en altérer l'authenticité: un pur bijou, merci pour cette vidéo!

[seeemilyplay0909]

4 dislikes, maybe are talibans grandfather!!!

[HamNCheezeNLuv]

@seeemilyplay0909 You know...this is actually a pretty funny comment. Don't ask me why, but it cracks me up.

[seeemilyplay0909]

still amazing!!!!

[likeashot42084]

every one of these girls were absolutely beautiful.

[kerryincolumbus]

They look like half-Jap retro drag queens!

[MsBurnout2]

Oh the memories. Love this.

[Grelin1999]

To bad the sound is botched somehow, sounds like it is 44Hz or so...

[capitolemiproducer]

I know Hal Blaine does the count in, Leon Russell on keyboards, anyone else know who are the others?? Maybe Glenn Campbell

[bennygoods]

@capitolemiproducer Carol Kaye, Tommy Tedesco on guitars.According to Carol Kaye no special way to produce "wall of sound". Just everybody playing too loud and bleeding over into each others mics.

[capitolemiproducer]

@bennygoods thanks for the 411. I'm f/b friends with Denny Tedesco and yeah the diid it til it hurt

[MrzBossLady216]

great song!!

[Antotry]

this song remember me, when i watched "the wonders years" when Kevin and Winni were in a restaurant and then show up Madelein in fron of them , Kevin had whit a puzzled face, this song was in the background, this final was amazing!... i Love this song!

[fortunatobcc]

o mesmo penteado da amy! ela certamente copiou, e muito bem!

[d0min0danc1ng]

Dayum,,they are so beautiful.

[Watfoder]

isso é música...........

[GJEVIDEO]

The track (in mono) was used without permission for the opening credits of the Scorcese movie "Mean Streets" - to great effect - definitely the BEST girl group single ever,

[kato4270]

フィル・スペクター？

[CaptainJimKirk]

@kato4270 I totally agree.

[Parrotluver2]

[Parrotluver2]

YOUTUBE IS THE GREATEST INVENTION TO EVER COME TO THE NET TO SEE ALL THESE GREAT SONGS LIVE AND SEE THE WHOLE WORLD RIGHT ON HERE YOU ROCK YOUTUBE

[Mgmereu]

Mantene sa calma!!

Mettiamo The Ronettes che è meglio!

[frankothemountain]

Phil was and is a creep. Ronnie had a great unique voice already. I he is one of the top most over rated people in music. Control freak weirdo.

[EbenezarGold]

This is amazing! Thanks for posting, very much.

[luxyaltz219]

With the classic '' dum..dah dum dum '' drum intro , this record is probably the one that defined pop music for many in the early 60s who might otherwise have just been dismissive of it as ' just another fad '.Brian Wilson was listening and credits this song as been a big influence on him to .

[claveworks]

Brilliant stuff - I was 7 when this was released... cold winter that year I think....

[hgafaescotland]

Whoever said down below that this isn't about Phil Spector is not paying attention, he created that whole sound (beach boys aside). The voice is not amazing the sound of it is............................­...............

[aaronjoeseph]

who TF is phil???

[Nocaro]

@aaronjoeseph Phil is Phil Spector, one of the great record producers of the 60's pop era who created what was then called the "Wall Of Sound", a unique "fuller" sound. He also worked with the Righteous Brothers...listen to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by them for more of Spector's work.

[aaronjoeseph]

@Nocaro I LOVE THE RIGHTOUS BROTHERS! :D and thank you for telling me who he was!(: i appreciate it:D

[starboardbeat]

Phil also produced alot of the Beatles stuff.

[frankothemountain]

@starboardbeat He stitched up the already failed Let It Be sessions, and sat there like a mope for some of their solo work.

[Rckrgrl73]

@aaronjoeseph He did more for music than you can ever imagine!

[Armydicked]

@aaronjoeseph I'm sorry, Perhaps you never heard of this thing called ROCK & Roll. Many people haven't. They haven't play any ROCK & Roll in America since Y2K!!! I can understand your PISS IGNORANCE. Perhaps you perfer listening to Easy Listening, Elevator Music or RAP. Asshole!!!

[aaronjoeseph]

@Armydicked umm well that was rude bro... idont even know what i said. i dont listen to rap or pop or elevator music because all that is crap. its not even considerably music any more. i used to listen to elvis the king of rock & roll? i was raised listening to NOTHING BUT THE OLDIES and country music. everything else i dont really like. oh and whenever ur in the womb ur asshole is the first thing to develop so i guess we all start out as asshole huh? i still dont see how im an asshole. tell me?

[miiiishaohmisha]

Phil Spector my ASS!!!

I must admit I'm grateful he had the machine to BRING IT TO ME and you... This isn't about Phil, this is about the Ronettes.

That is where the TALENT was, THE RONETTES!

Phil was just another parasite talent agent.

I've been watching since 1961

Ronettes, Shangrilas, Joni Mitchell, Fionna Apple, ENYA, Amy Winehouse, I'm waiting waiting, hungry for the next Icon, not J-Lo, that is truly original.

I can do a thrilling version of RedHouse, note for note, but I'm no Hendrix...

[frankothemountain]

@miiiishaohmisha Agreed. The Ronettes tracked HIM down. Over-rated freak of nature.

[joe11350]

I LOVE THIS SONG I BEEN LOOKING FOR IT

[TheIrvinlopez]

Phil had it made with Ronnie.... Man I can just imagine.

[bigflaca]

The real question is, DID Sonny consider himself Jived? Did he say "Oh yes Phil I do feel Jived, I hav'nt felt this Jived in years" I've just been thinkin and thinkin about this all day...

[parkman35]

Sonny Bono was one of Phil Spector's musical Lieutenants

[queenconvertible]

Sonny you can consider your self jived.....lol....wow that was kinda a teat, as a major Cher fan i loved the refence and that fact that you can really hear her in the backround in this cut.....=)

[theemotions]

Damn, you can really hear Cher in the background vocals ;-)

[tacysassy]

@theemotions lol :-D

[M3town33]

That's an offense against the greatest songs of all time, there is no such thing as original stereo because this was RECORDED in Mono. This is fake stereo with added instruments according to Larry Lavine.

[sel2231]

@M3town33 mono you are a dickhead

[M3town33]

@sel2231 What's the matter wih you? Then tell me how this was recorded yourself. Did Larry Lavine who worked with Phil Spector for 20 years say it wrong? You unintelliugent nasty piece of shit, you know nothing about this do you?

[sel2231]

@M3town33 Intelligent* you mean, learn how to spell Idiot

[M3town33]

@sel2231 Then tell me how to spell intelligent in my language, can you do that? HELL NO, you see not everyone here is american. HOW many languages can you speak you shit outta hell, that has a LOT to do with intelligence I'm telling ya.

[sel2231]

@M3town33 Well i can speak French as well and i'm actually not american dip shit. Any way what would you know about intelligence, you cant even spell.

[tiffanin18]

Thank you.

[47yesican]

Beautiful.........never heard this. You can hear the Vocals

much clearer!! Nedra and Estelle.

This Fantastic Record is Nearly "50" years Old,

& Ronnie Is Still Singing It!! A "Grammy Please!!"

[todzillarockz51]

I'm a 36 years old guy who likes all sorts of music, from motown to tool, primus, nirvana, ween, prince, electro, dubstep, but this song is my favorite song ever.

[rebelVHS]

Spector fans-check this out. A track by an English female producer inspired by her love of Phil's work!

In YouTube, search for 'DENI,TIMEKODE' and listen to 'WOW! I WANT IT'



[PeaceLovePink223]

damn take 25???

[Aspenfash899]

@PeaceLovePink223 lmaoo

[TheJacobiker]

Spector was a genius... Songs can evoke such memories. I have fond memories of a Saturday afternoon, in a Pizza Hut in Edinburgh when I hear this song..

[listerone]

The 60's was the greatest music decade ever.Things like this (not the greatest song ever but surely a classic) in the early-mid 60's then the British Invasion in the mid-late 60's.

[dmartim1]

pay attention to the George Blaine drum

maybe the finest piece of percussion on any r&r record

[PeepsRock309]

good

[blues917]

Love this raw version. Thanks for sharing it.

[tolanstout]

Why did Sonny have to consider himself "jived"?

[Nocaro]

@tolanstout You'll have to ask Phil Spector himself about that, but I think he's still in prison.

[Jody07984]

Spector was referring to Sonny Bono at the end of this recording as Sonny played guitar in this session.

[SalDag]

Turn it up--great audio track, great pictures.

[xxxstiletto]

Phil Spector is a GREAT music producer !

His Christmas Album in my opinion is one of the best, it is the best ever album of its kind.

when I hear any of the song is Christmas to me and my family. It has become a family and friends tradition

thank u all for ur input on the subject. I have learned a thing or two, reading ur video responses about PS ty

[mazdaishpahan]

where did you find this? or did you put it together yourself? johnreynolds has posted the instrumental and the backing vocals, but i've never been able to find the acapella track of ronnie singing or the string section

[Nocaro]

@mazdaishpahan Sorry, I've had this for so long that I cannot recall where I came upon it...Lanny (Nocaro)

[skoobi25]

@mazdaishpahan I used to listen to this song and this version yrs ago, i had it on a Phil Spector album, but cnat for the life of me rememebr the name of the album, maybe google it ?..

[mazdaishpahan]

@skoobi25 yes i looked it up, there are several bootleg albums with the stereo version but most of them are ripped from the vinyl album. but this version is special because it has the studio technicians talking at the beginning. so whoever did it had access to the orginal tapes



[squelcherood]

Aren't the sisters half american indian? I read that in "Breaking Down The Wall of Sound" Phil's biography.

[IamChromosoom]

Dancing in the middle of the night. Pure pop, I love the Ronettes!

[IrisMG]

Love those wigs! A lot of people don't even know the Bennetts are black women.

[jimihendrixfan2008]

I love their hairstyles. I wish more women had that today.

[WinehouseLover19]

@jimihendrixfan2008 Amy Winehouse had her own take on it, bigger and bolder but she did state that the Ronettes were the inspiration for her hairstyle.

[1985MANAmericana]

Hal Blaine!

[TheCARENTAN]

De très bons souvenirs....

TheCARETAN

[desiguy55]

thanks for uploading one of my favs girl songs.

[Tunz909]

Well, since I have NOT heard all the takes, I must say, so far this IS the best take and much better than the final recording, IMHO, as well, thanks!!

[Atomicflash500]

Sonny Bono

[TheIoniaboy]

@Atomicflash500

[TheIoniaboy]

@Atomicflash500 Yeah.............anyone who could put up with Spector gets my respect.

[baroque121]

Oh to have footage of that early Sixties London Palladium TV performance

[higgme1ster]

It's got my vote~!

[barnaba1964]

good job!

[Supergungun]

Is there a way I can get this recording from you? I like the resonance more than the final version.

[papasyutube]

@Supergungun  Check out Limewire I got it.....

[Nocaro]

@Supergungun YouTube advertisers would start complaining if I started e-mailing downloads of all of the music I have posted...I hope you understand...Nocaro

[lizclegg]

@Supergungun I agree, I like this more than the final version

[H1GhVoL7aGe]

@Supergungun i can send it too you 

[elleboucher]

That hair, those voices...always the "bad" girls, which I loved! Way back when.........

[clyde8her]

Great addition to the tube...The Ronettes were simply the best...with a little help from Phil.

[PaulDePace]

More details please. It is commonly known that Phil Spector over-dubbed Ronnie's lead on to already recorded instrument tracks. In short, the singing and the instruments were recorded on separate days in separate places. So how is is that we have this 25t-take recording of everyone together?

[Nocaro]

It is quite possible although I would have no way of knowing that Spector would play pre-recorded instrumental tracks in the studio while they were singing...just one possibility anyway.

[blownSS06]

@Nocaro this means time 25 of trying.... gold star only had a 3 track machine.

[TennantJunkie1993]

@Nocaro As the 10th Doctor told Lee Evans's character in "Planet of the Dead", You're my new best friend, after David Tennant, who had twine around his TARDIS to rescue Donna from the Pilotfish.

[mazdaishpahan]

@PaulDePace take 25 is in reference to the instrumental only. ronnie's lead, the backing vocals, and the string section were all recorded on different tapes on different days and mixed together finally in mono
