News breaking in the US that Ronnie Spector has passed away after a brief battle with cancer.  Proper black music icon who helped form the 'Wall Of Sound' that elevated black girl group sound.  

Thought it be nice to post a few snippets of the lady at her best.....  here's one from me.....  Sleep well Mrs Spector.... job done and with done with a bucketload of style and class.

Remember first seeing the Ronnettes on Ready Steady go late 1963 thought they were real sassy loved them and the Crystals

More than just another old singer, and icon by my estimation.  Sad loss. 

Sorry to hear about this - here's another classic from the Ronettes- 

 

Wonderful music, a full life. Back musically which was excellent.  'You Baby' gives me chills still as it plays now.
