RIP Ronnie Spector

Recommended Posts

Lead singer of the Ronettes, older folks here remember a lot (or at least a few) of their songs. Toured with The Rolling Stones. Thank you for your contributions to the music industry. Billy Joel's Say Goodbye to Hollywood was written for her, somehow seems appropriate now.

If you're talking about Phil I don't think they were married all that long... 3 or 4 years.

 

Four years too many.  Ronnie was lucky to escape with her life, but she lost most the earnings from her songs as well as custody of her her sons.  Spector killed his last girlfriend.  He was in prison for that when he died of covid early in 2021.

Guy was a weirdo genius... very smart in one way but completely devoid of being human the rest of the time.
