Be My Baby

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

Produced by Phil Spector in his Wall of Sound style at Gold Star Studios with the Wrecking Crew, this was the first time Spector recorded with a full orchestra. [1] Brian Wilson called it the greatest pop record ever made and wrote the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby" as a direct answer song to it. [2] In 2006 the Library of Congress inducted the Ronettes' recording into the National Recording Registry. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
