Who found this because of the amazing TV series. What We Do in the Shadows? I can't believe it's finished 😭 It lead me to the voice of this amazing person & I am so sorry to learn of her passing! ❤️✌🏼🎶🎬 BAT
Me.I just watched the last episode of What we do in the shadows.I just discovered it about a month ago and it quickly becames one of my favorite shows ever
@jaydee0187 I am going to watch it right through again, after I finish watching *Barry. Nadja is my favourite 😍 her potty mouth & dumbfoundidness is amazing & her lines are phenomenal 😂
Billy released it and it didn’t really sell, she did her version and it didn’t really sell both in the late 70s,them Billy released the live version in the early 80s and it became a hit
Ronnie Spector's Christmas shows at the City Winery used to be a huge part of Christmas for me, she would tell her amazing series of being a real rock n roll survivor. The background to this song was apparently after escaping barefoot from Phil Spector's mansion she was back in New York working as a domestic cleaner for a living. One day a Liverpudlian voice shouted across the street to her "Hey Spector girl how are you doing". It was John Lennon . She said she was having a hard time and Lennon said, "give Jimmy Iovine a call he is working with some kid from New Jersey who they say is the next big thing. The kid was Bruce Springsteen and within a month or so she was on the road doing BVs with the E Street Band. Someone should make a movie of her story, it makes Tina Turner's battles sound tame. I hope somewhere there is a video of those concerts they were so special. Christmas is not the same without Ronnie Spector.
Damn she sings this good. It’s been one of my fave Billy Joel songs since the 70’s. Didn’t know it was a tribute to Ronnie or that she’d covered it. RIP to a genuine legend.
Every time she sang those songs, which must have been thousands of times, you got the feeling it was the first time, and she was singing it just for you. She lit those places up, and all the people as well. What a bright little light.
thank you, @E W ! enough of the Philip bashing! they roasted him with no real evidence. if he is crazy, then why was that not considered in the verdict? many will lie under oath for $$! and BTW, if everyone hates him so much, why did Ronnie not change her name when she remarried?
Linda J Gaeta okay first of all. He killed an actress in 2003, and he locked Veronica(Ronnie) in his mansion With his children locked in their rooms aswell. There is a lot of evidence my friend
@@sebziez - indeed! She earns no royalties from the Ronettes' hits, as she agreed to forfeit those in her divorce settlement under extreme pressure from that lunatic.
@@lindajgaeta8935 - because if most people saw posters advertising 'Ronnie Greenfield In Concert', they'd think, "Who's she?" When they see the name 'Ronnie Spector' up there, they know exactly who she is! Sadly, in order to stay in business, she has had to use her hateful ex-husband's surname professionally.
I forgot Billy Joel wrote this for Ronnie until reminded last night on a TV tribute to her. This is such is such a sweet video & shows she really was a one off. Thank you, Ronnie
FTR, this is a Billy Joel song she recorded as a one-off 45 stab at an album deal (didn't happen) w The E-Street Band (no Bruce, but plenty of Clarence). Who sez Jersey n Long Island ain't cool 'bout our respective heroes - esp when it comes to honoring the legends who propelled each to a lifetime crap-shoot of bottling lightening? Props to all. Miss you, Veronica, always.
THAT’S what was wrong… could not put my finger on that mis-matched, over-blown too-loud band sound… it was all wrong for her soulful singing. Thanks for clearing up the mystery!
For me, she was up there with Karen Carpenter as one of the all-time great singers in rock & roll. She was beautiful and a natural and I loved her. RIP.....legend
Rest In Peace, Ronnie. Thanks for your voice and music ❤️ So much more than a muse but as inspiring to Phil, Brian Wilson, and obviously as heard here, Billy Joel.
Probably my most favorite song ever I truly miss and love Ronnie Spector she came from a different music era than me but I can relate to her beautiful music anytime anywhere
Your music is as much a part of my life as my brothers are..thank you Ronnie, you'll always be here with us who appreciate re music and the people who made it..
Her talent never wavered. Same sexy , slightly raspy voice. Happy go lucky kid from ny. She never let us down. Will always be our little b a b y. Bless your spirit.
First time hearing this version. What a great voice she had. You can hear a bit of Southside and the Jukes in it. Rip Ronnie your music will live on. 💙
THE WORLD IS A LESSER PLACE WITH RONNIE GONE. A BEAUTIFUL LADY WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. HER MUSIC HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE FOR 50 YEARS. RONNIE AND HER SISTER ESTELLE FACED ADVERSITY IN THEIR LIVES BUT RONNIE OVERCAME AND CARRIED ON. I'M SORRY THAT SHE IS GONE BUT I'M ALSO GRATEFUL THAT HER MUSIC HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE. I HOPE THAT SHE KNOWS THAT SHE WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. REST IN PEACE VERONICA 💔
I came here after the ending of what we do in the shadows!
OMG me toooooo!!! 😃

Ronnie Spector passed away on Wed. 12 January 2022, she was 78. What a God given voice she had...
RIP RONNIE
Well, I heard several covers of this song. So far, Ronnie is still 1'st place.
Ronnie Spector, singing Billy Joel, backed by The E-Street Band....doesn't get much better than this...
Ah TOTP's ......just not the same these days !
... with Springsteen in the studio as an "advisor". :)
Billy released it and it didn’t really sell, she did her version and it didn’t really sell both in the late 70s,them Billy released the live version in the early 80s and it became a hit
@@johnvance3011 didn’t know that, thank you
So much talent converging on this, it’s a wonder the set didn’t explode!
Brian Wilson's favourite singer
This song played at the end of the series finale episode of What We Do In The Shadows on Hulu. I like her voice.
I didn't realize Ronnie was so dainty, her voice always takes me back to better times. I wish I could thank her that.
♥️
This.
NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION. I LIKE THIS!!❤❤❤😢😢😢God bless your memory and God rest your soul, Ronnie BENNETT.
Rest well, Ronnie. Never to be forgotten.
The way she interacts, with every song she ever sang. She put everything into each song. What an artist. Thanks Ronnie

Now I'm in love with this song,thank you what we do in the shadows ❣️
I am heartbroken. Thank goodness for memories like this. RIP, Ronnie.
Well said Dale!
@@PatrickMcManusNY Thank you, thank you. I suffer from multitexting. Kind of like multitasking but not.
She was so adorable, talented and mistreated. I am heartbroken that she is gone!
Can’t believe it’s over.. 🥺
We had her for 78 years.Heaven now has her for eternity.RIP Angel of Spanish Harlem😢✌🙏
Ronnie Spector sings Billy Joel's "Say good bye to Hollywood"
The original Queen of rock and roll. RIP Ronnie.
It's like my youth is slipping away, R.I.P. Ronnie.
Agreed....where does the time go...
A one of a kind legend. RIP Ronnie.
This should’ve been a big hit for her what a great song. Her voice is just great.
Damn she sings this good. It’s been one of my fave Billy Joel songs since the 70’s. Didn’t know it was a tribute to Ronnie or that she’d covered it. RIP to a genuine legend.
"Life is a series of hellos & goodbyes." How true. Goodbye, Ronnie. Rest in Peace. x
You can tell she was just a ball of joy and fun ..shame of those who took advantage of that
Every time she sang those songs, which must have been thousands of times, you got the feeling it was the first time, and she was singing it just for you. She lit those places up, and all the people as well. What a bright little light.
Amazing singer. Ronnie is one of the greats. A legend
Phil Spector destroyed the Ronettes, and deprived us of Ronnie for decades.

Try reading Ronnie Spector’s autobiography. Make your comments then...

She was tremendous. Say good bye to Ronnie~
Ronnie has one of those voices that men just love.
R.I.P. Ronnie.... this little-known video further cements her girl-group legend.
FTR, this is a Billy Joel song she recorded as a one-off 45 stab at an album deal (didn't happen) w The E-Street Band (no Bruce, but plenty of Clarence).

One of the great voices of Rock and Roll!
Such innocent Sinatra swag and feminine grace Wow. Her breath control was incredible 🔥
Live to backing track. You go Ronnie, no lip syncing here !!
THAT’S what was wrong… could not put my finger on that mis-matched, over-blown too-loud band sound… it was all wrong for her soulful singing. Thanks for clearing up the mystery!
Beautiful voice, beautiful lady RIP Ronnie, your voice will live on forever ❤
For me, she was up there with Karen Carpenter as one of the all-time great singers in rock & roll. She was beautiful and a natural and I loved her. RIP.....legend

It's hitting me hard right now. RIP Ronnie
Dear Lord she is so beautiful!
Probably my most favorite song ever I truly miss and love Ronnie Spector she came from a different music era than me but I can relate to her beautiful music anytime anywhere
