Be My Baby -- a truly great song. Ronnie Spector had one of the best voices in pop history IMO.

Agreed. How about 'Oh No, Not My Baby' by Maxine Brown?

Agree 1000%. Probably the crowning glory for crazy Phil Spector. Simply a masterpiece.

With reminds me, almost time to find my Phil Spector Christmas Album. That is a pretty amazing accomplishment.

I have read that he considered River Deep Mountain High -- with a young Tina Turner -- his best song.

The Ronettes' Walking In The Rain is another Spector gem. If I recall correctly, Marvin Gaye wrote that one. Interestingly, for all Spector's perfectionism and borderline abusive treatment of his singers and musicians until he was satisfied, Ronnie Spector apparently did the lead track in a single take. The vocal is ethereal.

By contrast, Tina said Spector made her sing River Deep Mountain High so many times she was drenched in sweat and had to take her shirt off to finish.

Reportedly Brian Wilson said Be My Baby is the greatest song ever produced.

Seems he was channeling it in Don't Worry Baby.

.This is an 11:00 minute song called American City Suite by Cashman and West who were writers for Jim Croce:

Cashman also had a hit with the song Talkin' Baseball (Willie, Mickey and the Duke).
