Ronnie Spector: Be My Baby singer of The Ronettes dies at 78
2022-01-13
[BBC] The pop star found 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 away 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.

"She was filled with love and gratitude. Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her."

#3  Music goes in cycles: Small Band to Big Band, melody complimenting the good singer and melody hiding the weaknesses of a singer... I miss the strong vocalists of earlier cycles.

#2  Anyone but the screeching waifs with their drum machines and dancers that the "entertainment industry" pushes today.
