Ronnie Spector

You know you’re a big deal when your death leads the CBS radio news headlines, ahead of inflation, empty store shelves, and omicron.

 

Somewhat amazingly, “Be My Baby” (which peaked at #2) was the only time they reached the top 20 of Billboard’s Hot 100 – except for “Sleigh Ride”, which got into the top 10 a few weeks ago as part of the seasonal rush.

 

Favorite songs (with the Ronettes):

Be My Baby

Do I Love You?

Walking In The Rain

Baby, I Love You

Sleigh Ride

 

Bonus track:

Take Me Home Tonight (with Eddie Money)
