RONNIE SPECTOR SHARES STORIES BEHIND “TRY SOME, BUY SOME”

Ronnie Spector shares incredible tales of her days with the Beatles... 

"I was friends with the Beatles, real friends—we’d sit on the floor at home and have finger sandwiches and play 45s. When I came to the U.K. to join [the band’s] Apple Records, I didn’t recognize George Harrison. It was during the Maharishi days, and George had the longest hair. He immediately started playing me this song, and I said, “George, I can’t sing this kind of song!” He says, “I know, Ronnie. I wrote it, and I don’t like it!” [The track was produced by Phil Spector.] It had all these strings and the arrangement was awful, [but] we were friends, so it wasn’t like we could just shake hands and walk away. Later on, George recorded it, and he had my voice on it and his voice on it, answering each other. And after that came out, it became a fan favorite.
