    Be My Baby - The Ronettes

    Martin Scorsese used this song to open Mean Streets.

    Brian Wilson once listened to this song on repeat for a year.  Or something like that.  There were drugs involved, sure, but it’s also one of the best pop songs EVER written.  I’d put it in the top five, easily.

    My parents danced to it together, even though they weren’t supposed to be dancing at all, as it was against their religion (long story).

    And, sadly, the woman who co-wrote it passed away yesterday.  Ellie Greenwich - who also wrote or co-wrote “Leader of the Pack”, “And Then He Kissed Me”, “Chapel Love”, and a whole bunch more - died of a heart attack in a New York Hospital.  She was 68.

    R.I.P. Ellie - and thanks for all the music you left us.
