Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest rock
memoirs of all time, Be My Baby is the true story of how Rock &
Roll Hall of Famer Ronnie Spector carved out a space for herself
against tremendous odds amid the chaos of the 1960s music scene and
beyond. With an introduction by Keith Richards and a new postscript
from Ronnie Spector. Ronnie Spector's first collaboration with
producer Phil Spector, 'Be My Baby', stunned the world and shot
girl group The Ronettes to stardom. No one could sing as clearly,
as emotively as Ronnie. But her voice was soon drowned out in Phil
Spector's Wall of Sound, and lost in Ronnie and Phil's ensuing
romance and marriage. Ronnie had to fight tooth and nail to wrest
back control of her life, her music and her legacy. And while she
regained her footing, Ronnie found herself recording with Stevie
Van Zandt, partying with David Bowie and touring with Bruce
Springsteen. Smart, humorous and self-possessed, Be My Baby is a
whirlwind account of the twists and turns in the life of an artist.
More than anything, Be My Baby is a testament to the fact that it
is possible to stand up to a powerful abuser and start on a second
- or third, or fifth - act.
