You just can't escape this song on oldies channels, and it's likely in heavy rotation for the next few days in the wake of Ronnie Spector's passing.
The Ronettes' 1963 recording of "Be My Baby", released in 1964, landed the trio on Shindig! in 1965. The trick is that while the trio are on stage, Ronnie Spector was the only one in the studio!
The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson cited "Baby" as an influence on his band's subsequent "Don't Worry Baby". Spector had a late period hit, dueting with the late Eddie Money on "Take Me Home Tonight" (1986).
