I changed the original video that had a black & white photo intro and an animated single photo outro, and made it a bit smoother.

"Be My Baby" was released as a single in August 1963. The song was the Ronettes' biggest hit, reaching number 2 in the U.S. and number 4 in the UK. It is often ranked among the finest songs of the 1960s, and it is regarded by some as the greatest pop record of all time.

Spector produced "Be My Baby" at Gold Star Studios with his de facto house band, later known as "the Wrecking Crew". It marked the first time that he recorded with a full orchestra, and the song is regarded as the quintessential example of his Wall of Sound recording technique.
Wikipedia says: Ronnie Spector (then known as Veronica Bennett) is the only Ronette that appears on the track. (?)
