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 a new introduction by 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.
