Baby, I Love You

Ramones

“Baby, I Love You” by the Ramones

In hindsight, Phil Spector was the wrong man to make a Ramones album.  His painstakingly lush production ran counter to the Ramones’ seat-of-the-pants propulsion.  And it didn’t help that Spector was fucking crazy.  There’s rumors he pulled a gun and held the band hostage at his house, rumors it’d be easier to dismiss if he hadn’t pulled that kind of shit a dozen times before.  He’s currently in prison for shooting some poor woman in the head.

But: He loved Joey Ramone’s voice.  Joey, who grew up listening to Spector’s old Pop records.  Something clicked.  Spector brought in his trusted sessions musicians, and Joey covered “Baby, I Love You” by The Ronettes.  If you’re expecting a Ramones song, you’ll be sorely disappointed.  But I think you’ll be pleased if you hear this for what it is: Joey Ramone’s first solo work.

Can we just talk about what an amazing job Phil Spector did on mixing this whole album? Because damn.

Be My Baby

The Ronettes

I’ll make you happy baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I’ll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you till eternity so won’t you be…
