Publisher's Summary
Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest rock memoirs of all time, Be My Baby is the true story of how Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ronnie Spector carved out a space for herself against tremendous odds amid the chaos of the 1960s music scene and beyond.
With an introduction by Keith Richards and a new postscript from Ronnie Spector.
Ronnie Spector’s first collaboration with producer Phil Spector, ‘Be My Baby’, stunned the world and shot girl group The Ronettes to stardom. No one could sing as clearly, as emotively as Ronnie. But her voice was soon drowned out in Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, and lost in Ronnie and Phil’s ensuing romance and marriage.
Ronnie had to fight tooth and nail to wrest back control of her life, her music and her legacy. And while she regained her footing, Ronnie found herself recording with Stevie Van Zandt, partying with David Bowie and touring with Bruce Springsteen.
Smart, humorous and self-possessed, Be My Baby is a whirlwind account of the twists and turns in the life of an artist. More than anything, Be My Baby is a testament to the fact that it is possible to stand up to a powerful abuser and start on a second–or third, or fifth–act.

Be My Baby; A story as dramatic as her songs
A dramatic story of one of America’s musical sweethearts. The opening is written by Keith Richards, which shows the much deserved respect Ronnie Spector holds. The book is narrated by Rosie Perez and she brings to life every word! If there was an Academy Award for books, she’d win it. Vale Ronnie

True insight
Ronnie exposes herself by sharing some of the deepest secrets she kept during her incredible career and tumultuous relationships. Truly insightful for anyone who has ever wondered what coercive control is, or didn’t quite understand why some people don’t leave toxic relationships sooner.
