For a "tough girl" she puts down her "wall" when she talks of her Mother helping her escape the "Spector" mansion. What a life this woman has lived and keeps on performing for all of us! Thanks Ronnie, Love You
Ronnie Spector is absolutely a gifted singer. Something mysterious about her voice, so magnetic and draws on the soul. Thanks Ronnie for sharing your talent.
Almost anyone who lived through the 50s and 60s would happily go back . They were indeed wonderful times and the Music was a huge part of it . Our Boomer Soundtrack is a large and diverse one. And The Ronettes were and are a giant part of that Soundtrack. Thank You Ronnie .
I saw her perform this song in the early 90s. It was a bittersweet interpretation. This is thefirst time I'm hearing her studio version. It was obscure and hard to obtain. The beauty of modern technology!
Do you notice who is playing that Beautiful Slide Guitar ? George Harrison. He produced that entire Ronnie Spectra Album ..... I Love and Miss you Ronnie
Well not only that ...he also propelled her to stardom with Be My Baby. Success' if which she never tasted the likes again. And she absolutely never stopped singing and performing the song. She said herself that when the opportunity arouse to either tour with The Beatles or marry Phil Spector she chose the latter. And lasted six years with him. And she was an adult already and could have left him. So, I guess it is not a black and white kind of thing. We are all humans. But cheers, all that being said, her voice is gorgeous. Unfortunately. I don't think she had great songwriters at her disposal. Thank you, I hope I am not rude or anything
Ronnie's version is the best version of this song, by far. Beautiful, heart-felt arrangement, excellent production that keeps building and building until it explodes into ecstasy, and, as always, outstanding performance by Ronnie Ronette. This should have been the hit version.
@@51gary51 no worys gary we all have our opinion and all have different taste in what we like im recording all of the ronettes stuff at the moment ive been a bonnie fan since lost in france i grew up on 60 s music im also recording the shirrelles the chiffons and the shangrilas i didnt know ronnie sang back to black she blew me away i only heard amys version ronnie is brilliant no doubting that may she RIP
@@waynedunn1108 Wayne, I, too, grew up on 50s & '60s music -- Connie Francis, Girl Groups; Phil Spector (Crystals, Ronettes, Darlene Love), and, of course, Motown. Thanks for the heads up about Ronnie's version of "Back To Black". I wasn't aware of it until just now. Checked it out. Love it! Thanks again!

¡Qué sonido, qué belleza, qué profundidad, perfección y gracia del sonido, el canto, la canción, los intérpretes y la atmósfera de la canción! ¡Es Divino! ¡Un encanto! ¡Belleza! ❤️🙏💕
Ronnie, OH GOD, What's to Say! One Hot "BAD" Diva Singer. She Appears on the Newest PBS Special= Her Voice Sounds Great, Her "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa," Gave me Chills. She's Slim and Still Knows How To "Slam It".
Ronnie recorded this in Nashville on 16th August 1977 (the day Elvis died). It was written by Bonnie Tyler's mangers. Steve Popovitch of Epic Records played Ronnie a demo after her Say Goodbye To Hollywood single bombed & he persuaded her to record it. Sadly it also bombed.
@dbrew2u So ironic that in the early 60s much of our socialization was geared to a perceived wonderful future. Man, if we only knew what would await us. Hell, almost could say that again for the 70s and 80s, absent the music of course. Yeah, go back, it is on my mind more and more as every year seems to get us closer to the ultimate troubles. At least we have our music and the memories.
Great take on this. I might say I like it better than Bonnie Tyler’s. Ronnie should have the statues with the likes of Tina Turner and Cher. Ronnie is still awesome.

So True
My heart aches knowing your gone. God gave you a beautiful voice. RIP
I love this singer.She never sings bad and all of her songs are so listenable.Definitely one of the best singers of all time.
Wow! I never heard her version before. Absolutely beautiful!
My sentiments exactly. I've always liked Ronnie Spector. How is it possible that I never heard this before?
On the list of best female singers ever...
I've loved that voice for as long as I remember..at 70 I'm not sure of the first time..but it goes way back......
Really good version but sorry Ronnie, Bonnie Tylers Version is the Best anytime.
I loved Ronnie Spector in '64 and love her today. One of the best voices and talents in rock 'n roll.
She sounds especially great on the bridge!!!
Almost anyone who lived through the 50s and 60s would happily go back . They were indeed wonderful times and the Music was a huge part of it . Our Boomer Soundtrack is a large and diverse one. And The Ronettes were and are a giant part of that Soundtrack. Thank You Ronnie .
well said
Ronnie spector still gives me goosebumps after all these years im 69 rock on Ronnie.
+gecko/36a I hear you, same here, she has that IT factor!!!
gecko/36a me too
You still with Us?
You can hear Ronnie put the soul of her life in this.
R. I. P. Beautiful Song Bird... I'll always love you, your voice enchanted me as an 17 year old and still works today. Thank you for the music...
I saw her perform this song in the early 90s. It was a bittersweet interpretation. This is thefirst time I'm hearing her studio version. It was obscure and hard to obtain. The beauty of modern technology!
RIP Ronnie. You have a very distinctive voice and such presence. Thank you so much for sharing your gift of singing. Much love always
Three beauties with beautiful voices 😍❤
Thank you take care 🙂💓
Oh my goodness! I didn't realize she had ever done this song!
Do you notice who is playing that Beautiful Slide Guitar ? George Harrison. He produced that entire Ronnie Spectra Album ..... I Love and Miss you Ronnie
Ronnie has always been a joy to hear....and still is!!!!!!
This is so sad to hear... quality and humanity of a singer that you don't get anymore.. just slick robots these days.
I LOVED EVERY SONG BY RONNIE & THE RONNETTES !!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT VOICE 👍!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved that voice since I was 10 years old...
Still Listening In 2024 I miss the oldies RIP Ronnie
Phil Spector held that beautiful lady back and he almost destroyed Her. May God have mercy on her soul ,may she rest in peace in jesus name Amen.
Well not only that ...he also propelled her to stardom with Be My Baby. Success' if which she never tasted the likes again. And she absolutely never stopped singing and performing the song.

Spector was insane, she’s lucky he didn’t kill her.
I despise Phil for keeping her from us
Great rendition, Her voice sounds great !
worked at a fm radio station when this came out...i still have my promotional Vynyl 45 of this.....one of my most cherished records....
BRILLIANT VERSION !! R.I.P. RONNIE.
Ronnie's vibrato brought forth the universe !!!!!!!
I love you Ronnie....I will always love you as long as we live....
just a great version of this song. Ronnie is the best
