With this song, Ronnie Spector returned to the public eye for the first time in two decades. A groundbreaking creative person, Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Ronettes in 2007, just aside 1986 she was long out of the spotlight.

Spector's last Top 40 hit with The Ronettes was "Walking in the Rain" in 1964; in 1971 she made #77 with a song scripted by George V Harrison called "Try Some, Buy Some," but that would embody her last chart entry until "Take Pine Tree State Home Tonight."

The song not only introduced Spector to a new generation, but likewise got her on MTV for her get-go time, Eastern Samoa the clip got ample airtime on the network. Spector released a alone album the following year called "Unfinished Business enterprise," but she ne'er scored other hit.
Ronnie Spector appeared in the picture, generally in silhouette form, but a financial dispute nearly kept her out of information technology. The video was directed aside Dent Morris, who helmed common clips for Europe ("The Final Countdown") and Paul Young ("Everytime You Go Away").

Accordant to Esther Hobart McQuigg Slack Morris, Spector's boyfriend/director told her not to cost filmed until they received a payment He felt they were unpaid, so Morris said they would precisely use his wife, Fiona O'Mahoney, who was likewise the producer on the shoot, in place of Spector, which conceivably could work because most of Spector's scenes were shot in shadows.

In our interview with Morris, he explained: "We set out Fiona in the clothes that Ronnie was going to wear, we put a wig on her, and we started doing a tv camera test where Ronnie and her manager could see it. Her manager was going, 'They're just bluffing, Ronnie, they'Ra not going away to do it. They'atomic number 75 non really going to do it, Ronnie.' And Ronnie was like, 'They are going to know and I'm not going to be in the video!'

Finally, she saw sense, and she performed IT. The whole crew applauded. But that was a wild and wacky thing to do, and maybe a chip cruel to do, but we were English in Los Angeles making our third or quartern music video, and if we'd come in away having paid Ronnie extra money, that would have crashed our budget. But my producer didn't get to be in the video."
At first, this was going to be a duet with Martha Davis, lead Isaac Merrit Singer of The Motels. Money wanted Spector ("the real thing") on the song, so he called her to ask, telling her, "This is a tribute to you. The song is altogether about you."

According to Spector, she got on board as soon As she heard the lyric, "Take heed honey, fair-minded like Ronnie sang... represent my little baby."

"When they said that, I was sold," she told Entertainment Weekly.

Spector says Money was selfsame excited when she showed upfield to record it. "He was a screwball someone - freaking call at the studio, releas, 'I've got the real Ronnie Spector singing 'Be My Baby' on my record!,'" she said.
This song is extremely catchy, with 2 chorus hooks and a come-here moderate-in. The pre-choir starts things off:

I can feel you breathe
I can feel your heart beat quicker

Then Money sings the first chorus line division:

Take me home tonight
I don't want to LET you go public treasury you see the light...

When it gets to Spector's part, it's another melodic shift to the dependable chorus from her 1963 hit:

Glucinium my little baby
Oh, oh, oh
