That sound was called the Wall Of Sound created by the Late ( crazy as a loon) Phil Spector who Ronnie was once married to. That Wall Of Sound is massively present and prevalent on George Harrisons first solo album which won the Grammy for album of the year for 1971 entitled All Things Must Pass which contained the record and song of the year in My Sweet Lord. Give a listen this Christmas time the Album Phil Spectors Christmas Album from Christmas 1963 which is full of all the girl groups he produced.

When I was a young lad (with no real income), I purchased my first three 45rpm records from the local drug store. They were REAL cheap, pressed on plastic coated paperboard, not vinyl. They were Baby Love by Dianna Ross and the Supremes, My Girl by The Temptations and Dancing in the Streets by... Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. Maybe not my three favorites of all time, but they hold a special place in my heart.

In addition to Ronnie Spector's distinctive vocals, it was Phil Spector's incredible "Wall of Sound" production that made the Ronettes so unique. Other girls groups that you need to hit are The Crystals, The Marvellettes, Martha and the Vandellas, The Shirelles, The Chiffons, as well as The Supremes' (before they were "Diana Ross & The....") early stuff like "When The Lovelight Starts Shining" (their first regional hit), "Where Did Our Love Go," "I Hear A Symphony," "Back In My Arms Again," "You Keep Me Hanging On," etc. etc. Tons of hits by these ladies. So many other girl groups from the early 60s you need to check out. They were rockin' the radio back then.

She sang a member of the Blossoms, Bob B Sox and the Blue Jeans, uncredited as a Crystal. Was the back up singer to all who recorded with Phil Spector and the Wall of Sound.

You've made my Friday for me thank you for playing the Ronettes. I was just a little kid starting Jr High school and the Ronette were the sound of the time. So much great music in the early 60's that became the foundation of my musical taste. Being in school when Bee Hive hairdos were popular even my mom had one as well as the girls at school and it was tons and tons of hair spray and wrapping their heads when they went to bed so they didn't collapse it.

[@colibri1]

There are so many good girl groups from the first half of the sixties, and their sound influenced a lot of later songs. Two that I can think of from the end of the seventies are Blondie's "Sunday Girl" (1978) and the B52s' "Give Me Back My Man" (performed in '78 and '79 but not released as a single until 1980). And on those bouffant hairdos of the end of the fifties and the first half of the sixties, they were initially formed by ratting/backcombing the hair into a huge mass and then smoothing out and styling the surface, followed by massive amounts of industrial-strength hairspray. Later, hairpieces and wigs were used. When bouffant hairstyles were at their peak of chic in the early sixties, hairdressers were as famous as fashion designers, with names like Alexandre and Kenneth on everyone's lips.

Phil Spector the producer of this gem's mantra was "Keep it Mono" and for the best reproduction of his famous "Wall of Sound" you should listen to all his productions on the original 45s (Vinyl).

Check out some of their other classics please, notably; "(The Best Part Of) Breaking up", "Do I Love You", "Walking in The Rain" and the ever wonderful "Be My Baby". Incidentally, Phil Spector productions have become very collectable over the years and my original (Vinyl) LP of "Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica (1964 London HAU 8212) goes for over 200 bucks!

[@timcook6566]

In college we did an old fashioned summer theater program where we did a new show every two weeks. The first one (and the only one I remember now) was called Leader Of The Pack. It was a great musical about Phil Specter’s Wall of Sound. They were having trouble finding an actress/singer to play Darlen Love, and then a beautiful young lady sauntered on stage and used her classical opera training and blew everyone away. She pretty much owned the show every time she stepped on stage. BTW, Darlene Love was not only a paragon of the musical scene of the early 60’s, but she was also a great actress. She played Danny Glover’s wife in all 4 of the Lethal Weapon movies.

Thanks so much - Ronnie was amazing.. I had the rare opportunity to meet her back in the early 90's... in Boston... she was so sweet - when I told her how much I loved her music, she threw her arms around my neck and gave me a hug (she had to jump up to do it, b/c I'm 5'8" and she was just around 5'2"...) She happily posed for some pics, even after driving hours through a snow-storm to get to the venue... the club had to stay open late, and shut off alcohol, but nobody left... I hope you will see some actual videos... (p.s... IDK if you know, but Amy Winehouse was inspired by Ronnie - and after Amy's premature passing, Ronnie actually performed Amy's "Back to Black" as a tribute... full circle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5CumneVoJ6Vra8)

I loved the Ronettes the moment I saw they perform on the Lloyd Thaxton TV show after school when I was a kid. Loved their sound and look. I couldn't wait to be a teenager so I could have beehive hair and wear eyeliner. Unfortunately by the time I was a teen their style was no longer popular -- it was the opposite. Long straight hair, no eyeliner. I did hear Ronnie perform at a Christmas show many years later which was thrilling. She sang some of her hits as well Christmas songs from the Phil Spector Christmas album, which I highly recommend you check out this Christmas. Other great groups also sang on this album. It's a classic.
