Be My Baby
Ronnie Spector - Book - Introduction by Keith Richards
(2022)
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.
