"When I saw you"

"When I saw you, that's when I knew I'd lose my mind over you" - that's how the chorus of Phil Spector-produced song performed by the Ronettes. In a clip on Youtube, Ronnie Spector says that the only song Phil Spector wrote on his own and gave to her was "When I saw you".
"And that's just how it became. He lost his mind. But not over me" - referring to their relationship and Phil's madness. Ronnie once said that if she didn't leave him, she would have died there.
"When I saw you" is a beautiful ballad. It's one of my favorites right now.

Just the other day I read in an old magazine that Estelle Bennett of the Ronettes had passed away sometime ago. Rest in peace.
