I was in puppy love with Ronnie in 6th grade and thereafter. In the early 90s I met a girl who could be her sister, looked like her, slim figure, long dark hair, a dancer and a singer too. I told her all about why she caught my notice, but we still hit it off great. She's now my wife for many years. Our daughter is named after Ronnie.

She also lives in Ct. She is the most wonderful Celeb along with Tony Orlando and Peter Noone. Ronnie is the best.She looks great in person. What a wonderful lady.

The trio from Spanish Harlem, New York,[1] consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (later known as Ronnie Spector), her older sister Estelle Bennett and their cousin Nedra Talley. Among the Ronettes' most famous songs are "Be My Baby", "Baby, I Love You", "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up", and "Walking in the Rain", all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
