Vintage Music: The Ronettes ~ 1963



Perhaps the best remembered of the "girl group" of the early 1960s, The Ronettes achieved their biggest success under producer Phil Spector. In towering black beehive hairdos and dark eye makeup, the Ronettes were a classic mid-sixties girl group with a sultry twist; vulnerable but tough, sexy but sweet. The first single in July 1963 is a classic, "Be My Baby." Ronnie's distinctive, seductive vocal delivery, along with her now legendary, "Woh-oh-oh-oh," drove teenage boys wild. By October, 1963, this song was at number two in the United States, and it became an International hit when it reached number four on the English charts.
