"Phil Spector wouldn't let the Ronettes record it because he was in love with Ronnie, though they only married later in 1968, and was insanely jealous, with emphasis on the insane." That's a shame how he did The Ronettes.
Love your posts Gene...
Ronnie Spector was a fantasy figure for a lot of teen males back in the day, including me. lol This song witten in 1964 by Brian Wilson with Veronica Bennett aka Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes in mind. Phil Spector wouldn't let the Ronettes record it because he was in love with Ronnie, though they only married later in 1968, and was insanely jealous, with emphasis on the insane. Phil Spector is and always has been bat shit crazy and a misogynist, he is now in jail where he belongs. His jealousy was also the same reason he wouldn't let the Ronettes tour with the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, he was afraid she would stray away from him, and she did based on what Keith Richard's said in his autobiography "Life" where he alleges to have had an affair with Ronnie. Their marriage predictably ended in disaster in 1973 with Ronnie barely getting away with her life. As a tribute to Brian Wilson, she recorded this in 1999.
