“Ronnie went through life with a spark in her eye, an energetic attitude, a mischievous sense of humor and a smile on her face. She was full of love and gratitude, “the artist’s family said in a statement. No further details have been released.

Thanks to the attractive appearance, strong voice and also the influence of Phil Spector’s composing and production help, the Ronettes group has become one of the most important girls’ groups, the AP agency wrote. In Britain, the Ronettes performed with the Rolling Stones and befriended the Beatles.

“It simply came to our notice then. That was our trick, “said Spector, née Veronica Bennett, in her memoirs. “We packed ourselves into the tightest skirts we could find. Then we climbed onto the podium and rolled them up to show our feet even more, “she said. “The louder they applauded us, the more mascara we applied next time,” she continued. “We didn’t have any attention-grabbing records, so we had to impress with our style,” she described the group’s beginnings in clubs.

In 1963, the band auditioned for the aforementioned Phil Spector, whom the singer married in 1968. After signing with Phillies Records the same year, they sang as an accompaniment to other bands. A year later, they released their debut album Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica. Five of the twelve songs made it to the American Billboard charts.
