After hearing the classic “Be My Baby” on XM radio the other night, I decided to go on YouTube to see who sang this beautiful song. I assumed the group was white.
Imagine my surprise when I found out they were LSLH honeys!
I must have watched this video 20 times. Everything about the video was so awe-inspiring — from the group’s slick dance moves, to the black girls in the audience rocking out in their seats!
Ronnie, Estelle and Nedra oozed sensuality without showing an inch of skin! Imagine that.
Yes, Ronnie is singing live. In the 60s, singers were so talented that there was no need for lip syncing.
I finally know where Amy Winehouse got her inspiration for her fabulous beehive. And I now know where Beyonce stole some of her signature dance moves.
The Ronettes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year. The only other black female group to be so honored was the Supremes in 1988.
What is LSLH? Sorry, i am not up on the lingo, anybody?
@ mimi light skin long hair
you didnt know who the ronettes where ? let me drop a lil history….. ronnie was actually latino, she latter married phil specter who formed the group and had two sons by him.. he was crazy she had a messy divorce and i dont think she got any cash out the deal either…..
I wonder have I ever heard this song? I can’t watch the video here at work.
sandra, i cant believe u aint up on them and u r about 60ish (or maybe 50 ish)…im up on them and im much younger…
jpw about CeCe Penniston for Throwback … Finally or Walk On ?
MOrnin All…yeah….there pretty captivating but why does Bey have to be stealing and Amy inspired? Serving us a extra tall glass of BeyHateriade this mornin aren’t you Auntie?
how^ … i don’t know what the hail I was typin … lol
I think we all can rest assured that their long hair = wigs, and wasn’t Ronnie only part latino? Her biological son with Phil looks black, well, more olive toned I should say. I’m still mad she went off and left her kids with that gun wielding friutcake
SANDRA DO YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT BEYONCE ALL THE TIME? TEECEE, I HAVE READ BEFORE THAT RONNIE WAS BI-RACIAL, THAT HER MOTHER WAS BLACK & AMERICAN INDIAN WHILE HER FATHER WAS WHITE.
ECSTRACY, RONNIE AND PHIL ADOPTED.
ronnie’s momma was as black as the night. her pops was a hispanic man.
i have her book.
and yes miss veronica can SANG chile. caught her live once in a lounge in nyc.
was anyone watching the background dancers in this video? looking like a woodstock reunion – who told that sista it was okay to go-go dance?
They are hispanic I thought… You know the song… Beeee myyyy be – be my lil baby. My baby my DAHHRLING. Be my baby NOOOOWWWW Oh oh oh oh oh… Doing the jerk at my desk
Thanks brooklynisis. Now I know the song. I looked up some pictures. Why are they like 4 shades darker now? Once again I am confused.
