Thanks to the shivering lushness and much-imitated drum intro of 1963’s “Be My Baby”, The Ronettes instantly became one of the era’s quintessential girl groups. Though they released only one album, the New York trio’s run of mid-’60s singles remains a stunning showcase for both Ronnie Spector’s aching, tremulous lead vocals and then-husband Phil Spector’s ambitious Wall of Sound production. Together they elevated teen romance to heady, swooning heights: “Walking in the Rain” arrives suitably saturated in young melancholy, while “(The Best Part Of) Breakin’ Up” spikes its sly premise with a concentrated dose of soul swagger.
