@Fiftiesflashback yeah it has the correct opening lyrics..but thats not the way coots wrote the music...the chords and melody is totally different...this is phil spectors intro not the way the songwriters originally wrote the intro...
love this version even though its not christmas problably because its by the crystals they were wonderfull singers also it wakes memories about christmas 2009 where i discovered the crystals XD
For me, it isn't Christmas until I hear this song on the radio. I could be in the middle of the Xmas Blues but as soon as I hear this, it's a different world.
@RiotCity66 The Guinness Book of World records actually does list Hal Blaine as the greatest drummer of all time. At least it did at one time. I assume it still does.
I Love the 60's music so pure and innocent.I wasn't even around in the 60's I am a 70's baby but I grew up listening to the 60's music only the best Thanks mom you got me hooked on the 60's music love this

i normally don't like girl groups...but this is christmas music, and tho not something ud listen to in the summer...come december itd be kinda nice...brings good xmas memories too, ive been a bit nostalgic of my childhood lately
Most subsequent rock versions of this Christmas classic are based on this arrangement. The most recent ones are twice-removed: they reflect the Bruce Springsteen live version, which was also based on this one.
Wow...I never really thought about it...but you have highlighted the reality that the Ronettes came out with "Be My Baby" in August of 1963...then the Christmas album came out the day that Kennedy was assasinated?...Wow...and then they came out with "Baby I Love You"...their second biggist hit, in December.. All of it right on top of Kennedy's assasination period. Funny Ronnie never even mentioned any of that in her autobiography? Don't you think she would have said SOMETHING? Strange.
The Crystals ROCK on this... that's the incredible La La Brooks on lead ... backed by all and sundry, whoever was in the studio! Probably the Blossoms... the Ronettes... Cher... Sonny... Oma Heard... Gloria Jones... incredible !!!
