This late-1990s offering finds her still in good voice over three decades later, on a set that features "Bye Bye Baby," one of the last recordings of the legendary punk rock singer, Joey Ramone, before his death in 2001. In a further nod to the New York punk scene to which she was an icon, Spector also covers Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory," giving it a surprisingly poignant reading, and, acknowledging her '60s roots, revisits Brian Wilson's classic "Don't Worry Baby." |

| | Artist Overview | | Led by the inimitable Ronnie Spector, the Ronettes embodied all that was cool about the girl-group aesthetic and all that was brilliant about their producer Phil Spector's Wall of Sound approach. As the performers of such awe-inspiring hits as "Be My Baby" and "Baby I Love You," the Ronettes left a mark on pop music as indelible and iconic as the work of any band of the era. Although they resurfaced in various configurations after their collaboration with Spector came to a close, Ronnie and her girls never reached the creative and commercial heights they attained in the mid 1960s. A touching late-'90s collaboration with Joey Ramone reignited Ronnie Spector's career, and she continued to perform as a solo artist well into the 2000s. |
