Trying to recall that afternoon and evening of music at Lincoln Center, I asked Grok for help: "Rickie Lee Jones, Ronnie Spector, and Roberta Flack performed at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park on July 26, 2017, as part of NPR Music's "Turning the Tables Live" event during the Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival." Hope you all had some time to talk and say thanks.
Interesting discussion and thoughts. I just watched Dirty Dancing again recently, & "Be My Baby" was in that great movie. I agree hearing songs takes us right back there...Thank you, Rickie! XX
Thanks for the beautiful tribute to one of the greatest voices of all time, Ms. Ronnie Spector. You described so well her indelible effect on all that has come since. Including the Springsteen connection...she was such a hero to him, and his buddy Stevie van Zandt. She helped them early in their career, and they helped to resurrect hers.
Billy Joel wrote a song with Ronnie in mind, called "Say Goodbye to Hollywood." Several years later, mounting her comeback, she recorded it, backed by the E Street Band. Check it out. Ronnie at her finest. May she rest in peace and power.
Ronnie Spector was a bright pulsating star whose light reached the darkest shadows of teenagedom and sparked fire under our hearts....thanks for the reminder of her exciting sound in this ever increasing loud world we're in 💕

I loved this format: Take an iconic song or piece of music and run with it through the years and down the highways and byways with Rickie.
yeah! that sounds just right to me.... get a blanket and crawl in back.
I am going to have fun making these little journeys.
