Biography

Veronica Yvette Bennett, later known as Ronnie Spector, was a renowned American singer, born on August 10, 1943, and passed away on January 12, 2022.

She was the iconic lead vocalist of the influential rock/pop vocal girl group, the Ronettes, which enjoyed a remarkable string of hits, including the timeless classics "Be My Baby", "Baby, I Love You", and "The Best Part of Breakin' Up", during the early to mid-1960s.

Following her successful stint with the Ronettes, Spector embarked on a solo career, and in 1968, she married Phil Spector, adopting his last name professionally. The marriage, however, came to an end in 1974.

The 1980s marked a significant career resurgence for Ronnie Spector, as she was featured on Eddie Money's Grammy-nominated pop rock single "Take Me Home Tonight", which reached an impressive number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In recognition of their enduring impact on the music industry, Ronnie and The Ronettes were inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
