Lovely statement from her family on her website

"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. Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her."

Also, awesome picture

Sorry to hear she's passed away
I love the Ronettes music, I saw her in real life once at the Virgin record store in Birmingham, she was signing copies of a book about her life that had just come out. She looked great.
RIP Ronnie, thanks for the music.

Over Christmas over deep consultation with myself i decided this is the finest Christmas song out there

Absolutely!
I dislike Christmas songs as a rule but that Spector album was great.

Ah, shit, RIP.

She's pretty much the earliest crush I can remember having.

Music was awesome too.

Oh no!! Never Gonna Be Your Baby has long been a fave song of mine - plus I love the early stuff too, "Be My Baby" being a total favourite of mine ever since I can remember!



I never knew this -

Oh I love the Ronettes, she was such a brilliant singer and utterly gorgeous star. Thank you for everything Ronnie x
