And here are The Ronettes. Of course the best record of all. The end of this series written on consecutive days for the best part of a month. And it was a joy. Partly to realise what a wide range of artists drew on and constructed something fresh from the original over the five decades since. Also to hear what they made of it. The whole palette of human emotions. Of course that drum beat was more than just a technical, studio exercise. It was the sound of something happening in the human heart. Something we can all understand, because it's happened to all of us.
