both this one and Mona were covered by the Rolling Stones....and i must say did justice to bothOk, one more Diddley treasure...
Song was written and recorded by Buddy Holly and the Crickets, my first rock and roll hero as a teenager. He wrote the song using his first and middle names, Charles Hardin. I recall going to high school wearing my dark rimmed eye glasses and my Buddy Holly hair style with a curly q on my forehead. That's when i had hair. LOL.

The Ronettes had 2 gigantic hits..Baby I Love You and Be My Baby.....but this one stands the test of time..imo....immaculate vocals by RonnieOgibowt, This is my favourite Ronettes song, "Do I Love You." Of course, the background is by Ronnie Spector's husband, Phil.
Be My Baby was a huge hit back in the early 60s.Ogibowt, This is my favourite Ronettes song, "Do I Love You." Of course, the background is by Ronnie Spector's husband, Phil.
