The Ronettes were an American girl group of the 1960s, best known for their work with producer Phil Spector. They consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (a.k.a. Ronnie Spector), her sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley. After a hiatus in the middle of the 60s, the Ronettes (and Spector) re-emerged without much of a popular reaction; musical tastes had moved beyond the girl group sound, and the Ronettes were unable to maintain their relevance. They disbanded in 1966.

Ronnie Spector married Phil Spector in 1968, then launched a solo career after divorcing him in 1973.



The Ronettes were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2007. “Be My Baby” was named one of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll. In 2004, “Be My Baby” was named #22 and “Walking In The Rain” was named #266 on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Songs Of All Time.
