Week Eight: 1960s Girl Groups - The Ronettes - "Baby I Love You" - The Best of The Ronettes

I grew up listening to The Ronettes on 98.7 KLUV, but it was not until I was in the fifth grade and until I saw the film, Dirty Dancing, for the very first time that The Ronettes really struck a chord with me.

I cannot think of a better Girl Group or a better tune to use in the opening credits of the film than "Be My Baby"!  However, like most of the other popular hits by the Girl Groups that I have spoken of so far, I do tire of the same songs rather quickly, which is why I selected "Baby I Love You" as my Ronettes' pick.

Just recently, I was able to check out Ronnie Spector's autobiography from the Dallas Public Library.  It really was an enjoyable read.  Then I checked out Phil Spector's biography, which really made me so perplexed as to how those two ended up together.  Regardless, the music they created was phenomenal!!!

Have I ever told you, how good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain
And though I'm really trying, I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you kiss me I've just got to say

Baby I love you
(Come on baby)
Baby I love you
(Oh-ee baby)
Baby I love only you
(Baby I love only you)

I can't live without you, I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
Oh, I'm so glad I found you, I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh, tell me that you feel the same

Baby I love you
(Come on baby)
Baby I love you
(Oh-ee baby)
Baby I love only you
(Baby I love only you)

(Come on baby)
Baby I love you
(Come on baby)
Baby I love you
(Oh-ee baby)

Baby I love you
(Come on baby)
Baby I love you
(Oh-ee baby)

Baby I love you
Baby I love you
Baby I love you
Baby I love you
