1966 song by The Ronettes

"I Can Hear Music" is a song written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector[2] for American girl group the Ronettes (credited as The Ronettes Featuring Veronica) in 1966. This version spent one week on the Billboard Pop chart at number 100.[3] In early 1969, the Beach Boys released a cover version as a single from their album 20/20 (1969), peaking at number 24 in the US.

Cash Box said that "Ronnie sings a strong lead throughout the teen-oriented, emotion filled tune which is effectively backed by throbbing sounds."[4] Record World described it as a "slow but torrid goodie."[5]
