Ronnie Spector DEAD

[Marilyn]

Announced on her social media



An incredible life and a true pop/rock legend

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh no. A complete legend and a one of a kind voice.

At least she saw out her cunt of an ex, if only by a year.

I think it might be a I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine moment

 

[ButterTart]

That's a shame, a few weeks back I was reading about her and realised she was much younger than I thought.

She sang that song when I saw her in concert a while back. It's probably my favourite Ronettes track.

I think I'll go with "Don't Worry Baby" tonight.

I loved the She Talks to Rainbows EP when it was released. I was very much in a girl group phase at the time so it was a timely comeback.

I see her excellent autobiography is due to be released again in a few months with a new introduction by Ronnie

 

[GNL]

I don't think anybody did that melodramatic girl-group sound better. A proper legend

 

[straightorbroken]

A pop defining voice.

She never did get her 80s comeback that was maybe expected at one point. I discovered this thanks to Cher:

Earlier I said Into the Groove was the perfect pop song but actually it’s Be My Baby

 

[POP!]

Was just thinking about her over the holidays when I saw "Sleigh Ride" made the Hot 100 top ten for the first time over Christmas.

RIP.

I do love Say Goodbye to Hollywood in its Ronnie meets E Street glory:



And it turns out she dabbled in disco, though didn't they all?

I hope God gives her a part-time job working the trebuchet that flings fresh cowshit into Phil Spector's tiny cube in hell for eternity.
