In the fickle realm of pop, you don't always get a second chance. When your moment arrives, you've got to make it count. Ronnie Spector made it count. She was Ronnie Bennett when she met legendary record producer Phil Spector in 1963. Bennett had been performing with the Ronettes, but with Spector they found a song—the song—that showed exactly what Ronnie could do with her sultry, poignant voice. It starts with near-ominous drum beats, exploding into Spector's trademark "wall of sound," capped by Ronnie's pleading vocals. The song, "Be My Baby," became one of the most recognizable hits of the '60s. by Gillian G. Gaar
