Talk:Be My Baby

message: Is there a sentence here that doesn't belong? "Greg loves this song.." etc.
I think this article focuses too heavily on the song's influence on other people, particularly Brian Wilson, but does not say why this song has had the influence that it did.  A big part of that is Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique, which this song is perhaps the finest example thereof.  I would also like to see some more discussion of the song's structure, arrangement, lyrical content, etc.
Also - chart performance is not given, which is a bit odd for such a well-known and influential song.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.186.58 (talk) 14:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:By My Baby single.jpg

message: I added Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica as the album in the infobox, but someone deleted it, citing that because the single was released over a year in advance that it was not "from" the album. I think this is dubious rationale. Although this is very rare and the concept of lead single and album from the time was not as solid as the industry sees today, I don't think it's false to attach this information. The album was a body of work and not a greatest hits compilation, so I don't see why it couldn't be considered a rare case of lead single coming so far ahead of its parent album. Artists today work just as long on albums, they just typically don't release so much material so well in advance. Thoughts? 73.191.184.198 (talk) 08:47, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been a discussion about this in the past. I believe the consensus stated something to the effect that unless a 1960s single was issued in advance of an album, it should not have a "from album" field. Can't find it right now but it's somewhere along Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs, Template talk:Infobox single, or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. I reverted it back anyway simply because I'm not totally sure.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 10:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I can totally understand that. Found a modern example in the mean time: "Fine China" preceded Chris Brown's X by a year and almost 6 months. Interesting! 73.191.184.198 (talk) 04:52, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Album 

message: Why isn't there a "personnel" section here, like with most classic tracks? There's not even a mention of Ronnie Spector singing the lead vocal. Seems a mess. O0drogue0o (talk) 13:08, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I looked something up and it says that Cher and Sonny Bono, with Darlene sung backup on this and I do not know if we should use this: https://www.loc.gov/static/programs/national-recording-preservation-board/documents/BE%20MY%20BABY.pdf  TheGreatestLuvofAll ( chat with me ) 17:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
