“That night John and George picked up Estelle and me in a limousine for a feast of ribs and chicken at Sherman’s Barbecue on 151st and Amsterdam in Harlem. And they loved it. Sherman’s is just a little takeout counter today, but back in 1964 it was beautiful, with lots of tables and a great big jukebox in back. But for the Beatles, the best part of all was that they could eat in peace. They may have been mobbed at the Plaza, but very few of their fans followed them into Harlem. In fact, the Beatles were no big deal up in Harlem. The people at Sherman’s were not exactly Murray the K’s crowd. They took one look at these guys with their long hair and funny clothes and went back to their ribs. If anything, they might have thought the Beatles were dorks. But you can bet Sherman never forgot that day. Every so often I still go into Sherman’s for takeout, and whenever I do, Sherman comes out from the kitchen to say hello. ‘I remember you!’ he always says. ‘You’re the little girl that brought the Beatles!’” - Ronnie Spector, Be My Baby (1990)

“[In the early ‘70s] George decided one night that he’d like to take a ride on a New York City subway. He was dressed in his denims and wore a longish beard. Still, he looked like nobody else. We descended the Sheridan Square subway steps, bought our tokens and waited patiently on the platform. We got on the next uptown train with only a few other passengers in the car. Immediately, George drew stares on our trip as the train headed uptown. Otherwise the trip was largely uneventful until we exited the train one stop to the North at 14th Street. At that very moment, a gang of cops with drawn guns was chasing someone up the platform. I think that was George's first and last ride on a New York City subway.” - Al Aronowitz, The Blacklisted Journalist, 2001

“I think they should pull a lot of it down and plant some trees in it. [laughs] I don’t think it’s very healthy at all. It’s crumbling, it's tired, but it still has a kind of atmosphere. In the '60s and '70s for me, it was kind of interesting when we used to hang out, we used to go in weird places. Then there's that kind of thing where you can get into feelin’, ‘Hey, man, yeah, we're in the city and this is city life and we're cool.’ But for me, I have no desire to be in any city, even a small city. I don’t like cities. I want to be as close to nature as possible. Purely just because I want to survive and I think it takes its toll on you — the pollution, the noise, the uptightness, the hostility — and all it does is it fries your nervous system and knocks years off your life.” - George Harrison (on what he thinks of New York City in 1992), The Blacklisted Journalist, published 2001 (x)

The Ronettes’ WALKING IN THE RAIN (from "Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica") was their third single of 1964, not counting the "Veronica" release earlier that year, this ballad by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, and Phil Spector became a slightly larger hit for The Ronettes than their last two top 40 entries. Peaking in the upper reaches of the Billboard top 30 at #23, and in the Cash Box Top 20 at #20, this song actually featured the sound effects of a summer storm, along with Phil Spector's signature "Wall of Sound." "Walking In The Rain" was climbing up the charts that Fall when the trio's album, "Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica" was released. The song, along with its B-side "How Does It Feel," was included on the album, along with all of the group's past top 40 hits.

#3 U.S. Cash Box R&B

#20 U.S. Cash Box Top 100

#23 U.S. Billboard Hot 100

#28 U.S. Billboard R&B Singles (1965)

"Walking In The Rain" is Ronnie Spector's favorite song that she recorded, right next to "Be My Baby." This same song also earned Phil Spector his only Grammy Award, for 'Best Sound Effects.'

Jay & The Americans released a cover version of this song in 1970, on their album "Wax Museum Vol. 1" Their version peaked even higher on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #19. Other artists to record the song include "The Walker Brothers," Cheryl Ladd, The Partridge Family, and "Reparata & The Delrons." [October 1964]
