Ronettes, The - Born To Be Together Lyrics

There's nothing that makes me feel more nostalgically warm and fuzzy than when I hear this gorgeous, soaring, atmospheric wall of sound awesomeness

the greatest

TO HELL WITH MOWTOWN......SPECTOR RULES

its not easy....their hairs are real but a little bit funny ...they are not famous here in taiwan.....so to me they are new no more old.....many songs I even never heard

50 year anniversary , October 11 2018, John Elton Candy, Langhorne Pa., PFC , USMC, KIA, Quang Tri Province, RVN.Loved this song. Sang it frequently aboard Randolph CV15. Wish you had said goodbye brother!

-The early to mid 60s certainly, absolutely, positively COULD NOT have existed without the left over late 50s-early 60s r&b doowops, the RONNETTS, Motown & Beatles. There would have been a giant gap if not for them all !!!

Wow...this clip is AMAZING!! Ronnie is so GORGEOUS!!! No one has a better voice!!

A live performance. Great!

Thanks for ALL of the videos of the Ronettes....they blew me away when I first saw them on tv, even the b&w of the age...still blown away....I"ll never forget...they were of that magic period in our country....amazing!

She sound like Stevie Nicks in the beginning!

No, Stevie Nicks sounds like Ronnie.

The one on the left is pretty cute

Ronnie's voice sends chills down my spine!

same as

It is one of a kind. Pure talent.

Saw her in person at a Chicago club AND THEN SHE KISSED ME--if you get a chance to see her, stay down front where she can get her hands on you. More than a few spinal chills guaranteed.

THIS ALBUM IS CONSIDER A COLLECTERS ITEM

barry gordy was more harmful to the supremes as a hole but both group is in the R and RHOF THE RONNETTS ALBUM IS CONSIDER A COLLETERS ITEM

Obviously a B side song to me but still delivered with style and grace. When they did The Best Part Of Breaking Up, that song defined passion and total sincerity to me. The same guy couldn't have wrote both songs.

There is a big difference between the Supremes and the Ronettes. Both groups had different approaches to their style, appearance, performances, etc. The Ronettes were more of a rock out, wild girl style, but still could be ladies and have elegance. The Supremes, on the other hand, were groomed to ladies at all times in order to have the crossover success and it worked because they became the most successful girl group of all-time. Both groups were influential and extremely talented, but the Supremes had Motown and Berry Gordy's attention and that was a MAJOR advantage over every other girl group. The Ronettes had Phil Spector and even though it was through him we got some incredible music; he was a curse which led to their demise.

Estelle descending the staircase is/was her classic way of disguising tiny but, delightful little foibles (and we ALL have these-I'm not casting aspersions on this wonderful woman),namely that she did not have the same sense of balance as Ronnie or Nedra. She compensated by mastering slower movements of grace during her performances,resulting in a thing of beauty. When I watched them on T.V. back in the early sixties, I had no Idea...She overcame/disguised this masterfully. I watched only Ned.

True; I think she was a very mild-mannered gentle person. She would have made a fabulous model, though!

Perhaps she was just too gentle a person to make it on her own in the dog eat dog world of the music business; after all look what Motown did to artists like Martha and the Vandellas when Gordy decided to move everything from Detroit to LA. I always thought at the time that Estelle would become a fashion model (not tall enough?) or a movie star (beautiful women of mixed race was probably a concept too far ahead of Hollywood at that time).

Estelle could have been a real star on her own after the group broke up if she could have signed with Motown or some other big record producer. She deserved sooo much more than she got in the end.

It seems that Estelle just had this natural grace, class and poise - right from the day she was born. Ronnie mentions it in the first chapter of "Be My Baby".

The Supremes just stood there and sang, but these girls could MOVE. I heard that they would really cut loose on stage at their concerts -- a lot more than they were allowed to on their T.V. appearances. The audiences went wild (especially the men!). Wish I could have seen one of their shows.

The Supremes stole the spotlight. They only had one big hit.

so they were still better than the supremes!

Much better.

I love how Estelle elegantly starts descending the stairs with all the grace of a Miss Universe Pageant contestant! They could have had so much more if that idiot Phil Spector had not purposely done everything in his power to destroy them.

Il a profité et a détruit les Ronettes et a surtout détruit Estelle. C'est scandaleux.     He took advantage and destroyed the Ronettes and especially destroyed Estelle. It's scandalous.

I'm a Miss Teen contestant and I'm using the Ronettes as my inspiration

Fabulous posting of a great song and video!

Another inexplicably low-charting effort by the Ronettes, early 1965. Seems like their Top 40 activity ended once Spector took on the Righteous Bros., just as when the Crystals hit-making run ended once he became involved with the Ronettes. The earlier Philles days were different, with simultaneous hits in the Top 40 from Darlene Love, Bob B Soxx & The Bluejeans, and Crystals

You are the man Ned.... Quality, all the way.
