Does anyone know where I can download the Marie version for Windows Media Player? I remember hearing it a long time ago and thinking just how incredible her voice really is :)
Thanks in advance!

I think it was The Ronettes (did some Google search ;)), taken from here:

...
With two hits in the U.K., the group flew to England in February 1964 and toured with the Rolling Stones. While they were there they met the Beatles.
That same month they released “The Best Part of Breaking Up.” It reached number thirty nine in the States and number forty three in England before Spector returned to the high powered teen rock with “I Do Love You,” that had one of the most power driven intros ever recorded. Despite only reaching number thirty four in the US and thirty five in Britain, “Do I Love You” was one of their best records.
....
So I guess those are the original ones ;)
