Ronnie Spector RIP

[jackinnj]

Surprised this hasn't come up before. Ronnie Spector ("Be My Baby") passed away on January 12th, 2022.

I didn't realize this -- she was Cherokee by descent from her mother!

Some youtube:

Brian Wilson reacts:

Ronnie on Letterman (1983-2010)

Ronnie Spector and Bruce (1976 NYC Palladium)

I was suprised too.

Quote from Brian Wilson on 'Be my baby'

"I was driving [the first time I heard it], and I had to pull over to the side of the road - it blew my mind," said the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson in 2013.
"I felt like I wanted to try to do something as good as that song, and I never did. I've stopped trying. It's the greatest record ever produced. No one will ever top that one."
