What They're Saying

Critics Review

An entertaining, gossipy, whirlwind ride through the 1960s … – Wendy Leigh, Sunday Times
A lively, illuminating read … Spector’s portrait of the energy of the early Sixties music scene is fascinating * Kirkus Reviews *
Entertaining, often disturbing … well told and … quite moving. Be My Baby … marks the passage of Ronnie Spector from victim to survivor – Alan Light, Rolling Stone
Funny and observant, consistently engaging … sprinkled with deadpan humour – Mike Boehm, Los Angeles Times
Despite all the hard times, Ronnie comes across here as a survivor, and the book maintains a surprisingly jaunty tone – Ilene Cooper, Booklist
An enthralling and moving Dante-esque descent through the rock ’n’ roll inferno. One of the three greatest rock ’n’ roll memoirs – Jon Wilde, Blitz (London)
