Be My Baby

This one's a doozy - 4 versions of "Be My Baby" and a close relative! The first-born by The Ronettes is so good it's disqualified from the Bo Diddley Awards. We discuss Ronnie's "vibrato in a phone booth," Hal Blaine's boom-crash, the smiley backing vocals and so much more! The second child comes from the same year of 1963, it's by The Georgettes. Girl group workhorse Rickie Page makes you almost forget the absence of the Wall of Sound! A visit from a kissin' cousin comes third, "Don't Worry Baby" by The Beach Boys. Is Brian Wilson's homage to Ronnie and Spector about a love triangle between a boy, his car, and his girl? The difficult middle child is by Antipodean adorables The Pleazers. Jangle & fuzz, what else do you need? Well, this one has more than even that! The baby of the bunch is by Reperata and the Delrons, who rebel against the dirtbag sound of 1970 by evoking the Golden Age of Girl Groups. This one will make you happy, just wait & see!!
