Book Reviews of Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or My Life As a Fabulous Ronette
Book Review: The Queen of Sixties Pop Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're interested in early Sixties pop music in general or Phil and Ronnie Spector in particular you'll enjoy this book. Ronnie's tale is a classic rags to riches to hell story. I first saw (and fell in love) with Ronnie when she toured with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes back in the 70's. I ended up touring England with her myself, playing guitar and keyboards, in 1991 - a real experience. It was quite a surreal trip reading this book and traveling with her at the same time. Ronnie told me there were many other stories about Phil, and many affairs she had, that could NOT be mentioned in the book. Too bad - that would have made it even juicier! I have not seen the updated version of this book, but heartily recommend it.
