I loved "Take Me Home Tonight", which she sang with Eddie Money in 1986.

I haven't heard the new album but I did hear that Keith Richards and Patti Smith are involved somehow.

I can't tell how many times while listening to the radio ...



...i've asked Ronnie Spector to Be My Baby. love




Since they were a singles group a comp wouldn't be out of the question...



...and this one has all the Phil Spector produced hits.

Be My Baby
Baby I Love You
Walking in the Rain
You Baby
You Came, You Saw, You Conquered
Paradise


They're all there.


The best way I can describe The Ronette's music is Perfect Pop.
You just have to hear it and you'll feel it.

She was sooooo sexy and she had this sexiness in her voice as well. It was somethin' else, especially back then. The only person I can think off offhand who had a sexiness goin' on like that was Tina Turner, though she had a rawer, wilder sexuality. Tina seemed like she would rip you to shreds between the sheets while Ronnie would softly coo in your ear to do it gently razz

Is her music pretty much like the single Be my baby? 50's style pop? Did she ever do anything edgier since she's associated with then punk scene?

Haven't heard the Joey Ramone produced EP.
But I don't believe any fleeting Punk association would be nearly as stellar as the material she did with The Ronettes.

And yes, the material on the comp is firmly rooted in the 60s girl-group genre.

Thanks, I really want to check her out though some how I think her music would make me feel sad. That's why i wanted something a little edgier but i'll definitely buy one of her cds.

confuseI'm not sure where you got that from.
The majority of these songs are very upbeat and most tears mentioned are tears of joy.

It's all about teenage love. wink
