History

The Ronettes were an American girl group formed in 1957 in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York City. The lineup centered on lead singer Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett (later Ronnie Spector), her older sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley, who had performed together since childhood family gatherings. After signing to Colpix Records in 1961, the trio moved to Phil Spector's Philles Records in 1963, adopted the name The Ronettes, and became a defining voice of his "Wall of Sound" production style. Their breakthrough single "Be My Baby" (1963) reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame; other hits included "Baby, I Love You" and "Walking in the Rain." Their sole studio album, Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica (1964), later made Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 1966 they became the only girl group to open for the Beatles on a US tour. The Ronettes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007 and, unusually, hold the record for the longest gap between Billboard top-ten hits in chart history.
