RIP Ronnie Spector

Ronnie Spector, 1960s Icon and Ronettes Leader, Dies at 78

Ronnie Spector, the inimitable vocalist who rose to fame as the leader of 1960s girl group the Ronettes, has died. Spector’s family announced the news in a post on the singer’s official website earlier today (January 12). “Our beloved earth angel, Ronnie, peacefully left this world today after a brief battle with cancer,” the family wrote in the statement. “Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humor and a smile on her face. She was filled with love and gratitude.” Find the full statement below. This Story is developing.

hardwork

I used to work at a boutique reissue record company in the early 90s in the warehouse. We had an in-house mail order department which was very popular with our customer base. I cannot tell you how many copies of the "Best of the Ronettes" I personally pulled and shipped out all over the world to God knows whom all. Many, many hundreds at a minimum.

RIP Ronnie Spector.
