"Be My Baby" by The Ronettes is a certified classic. Considered by Billboard to be the best girl-group song ever made, who famously said of the track: “I was driving and I had to pull over to the side of the road — it blew my mind"?

As the legendary story goes, Wilson was just 21 years old and heard the song, saying “It was a shock.” He bought the single and set about deconstructing everything piece of it. “I started analyzing all the guitars, pianos, bass, drums, and percussion... Once I got all those learned, I knew how to produce records.”
