Ronnie Spector became an icon when she rose to fame as lead singer of The Ronettes, the influential girl group responsible for a string of hits that included 'Walking in the Rain', 'Baby, I Love You' and 'Be My Baby', which Brian Wilson has called 'the greatest record ever made'. The embodiment of the heart, soul and passion of rock and roll, Ronnie Spector was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008. Ronnie passed away in January 2022. Vince Waldron is an author and Emmy-winning writer. He lives in Los Angeles.
A lively, illuminating read... Spector's portrait of the energy of the early Sixties music scene is fascinating. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> An entertaining, gossipy, whirlwind ride through the 1960s... -- Wendy Leigh, <i>London Sunday Times</i> Entertaining, often disturbing... well told and... quite moving. Be My Baby... marks the passage of Ronnie Spector from victim to survivor. -- Alan Light, <i>Rolling Stone</i> Funny and observant, consistently engaging... sprinkled with deadpan humor... -- Mike Boehm, <i>The Los Angeles Times</i> Despite all the hard times, Ronnie comes across here as a survivor, and the book maintains a surprisingly jaunty tone. -- Ilene Cooper,<i> Booklist</i> An enthralling and moving Dante-esque descent through the rock 'n' roll inferno. One of the three greatest rock 'n' roll memoirs. -- Jon Wilde,<i> Blitz</i> (London)
