Ronnie Spector, the trail-blazing lead singer of the 1960s all-girl group the Ronettes, has died.
The rock and roll star rose to fame with hits such as Be My Baby, Baby I Love You and Walking in the Rain.
A statement from her family said she passed at age 78 "after a brief battle with cancer".
"Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humour and a smile on her face," the statement said.

"Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humour and a smile on her face," ...and had the crap beaten out of her by Phil.

It was a "Different Time". They had "Style" and "Harmony".
From the same era...

The Ronettes were one heck of a great group and very very sexy. I was in love with Nedra Talley.

Rest in peace Ronnie. You were the sexiest singing babe in the mid-sixties.
