Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound op zijn best. In alle ernst: dit doet niet onder voor het beste van Wagner. Monumentaal. Fun fact: Ike speelt geen noot op deze song. Spector wilde alleen Tina (en 25 sessiemuzikanten) en had geen enkele behoefte aan haar echtgenoot. Ike kreeg een aantal bankbiljetten in de hand geduwd, met het verzoek zich onzichtbaar te maken. Wat hij ook prompt deed.
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
The only doll I’ve ever owned
Now I love you
Just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh, how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I’m gonna be
As faithful as that puppy
No, I’ll never let you down
‘Cause it goes on and on
Like a river flows
And it gets bigger, baby
And heaven knows
And it gets sweeter
Baby, as it grows
Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh, how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby
I love you baby
Like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby
Like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby
Like a schoolboy loves his pet
And I love you baby
River deep, mountain high
