Very sad. They also were ripped off by Phil Spector.

I loved their music ... but then, I loved all the music of the transition out of the 40's and into the 50's/60's
It was a great time to be a teenager.

Along with just about everyone Spector came in contact with in the music business.

The Ronettes were one of the best. RIP.

On the bright side, Phil Spector didn’t kill any of them (although he was known to force acts to record at gunpoint).

Rest In Peace Estelle, and thank you for the music; prayers for her loved ones.

You might want to check out this movie. It’s a thinly disguised bio of Carole King. Main emphasis on her time working with Phil Spector and a Ronettes type group and at the Brill Building.
