Ronnie Spector & the Ronettes! Yes! Ronnie Spector was the front/ lead, who, along with her sister, Estelle Bennett and cousin, Nedra Talley, made up the popular girl group, The Ronettes; and they were from Spanish Harlem. Some of their hits (from the 60's) were: "Be My Baby," "Baby, I Love You," and "The Best Part of Breakin' Up." After their time together, Ms. Spector went on with a solo career, launching five albums. In 1986, her career was rejuvenated when she sang on Eddie Money's Grammy-nominated Rock song, "Take Me Home Tonight," which got to # 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. She has been called the "Bad Girl of Rock n' Roll," and she was, along with the Ronettes, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Today, I'm giving much praise and love to Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes! #amazingwomenofcolor #womeninmusic #spanishharlem #doowop #soul #motown #blackexcellence #ronniespector #theronettes #rocknroll Thank you, ~~ Adam Chiocca ~~ [my unconventional book tour, day 26, 1/26/21]
