After a couple of flop singles for smaller record companies, such as this cover of The Rays’ Silhouettes in 1962… 


The Ronettes scored their only Top Ten hit with their first effort for Phil Spector
"Be My Baby"… 


None of their other records could crack the US Top 20…

 "Baby I Love You"
(Which did hit The Cashbox Magazine’s
Top 100 at #24)


 "The Best Part of Breaking Up"


 "Walking In the Rain" 
(Did hit #20 on The Cashbox Magazine
Top 100 Chart)


"Is This What I Get for Loving You?"


Check out Ronnie doing “Be My Baby”
 on Letterman in 1983...
--Complete with a very cool interview! 


Unbelievable that this incredibly talented act only scored one Top Ten Hit on the U.S. Charts...
