Veronica Yvette Greenfield (née Bennett; August 10, 1943 – January 12, 2022), known professionally as Ronnie Spector, was an American singer. Regarded as the “bad girl of rock and roll,” she achieved international fame as the founder and lead singer of the girl group the Ronettes. Spector formed the Ronettes with her older sister Estelle Bennett and their cousin Nedra Talley in the late 1950s. They were signed to Phil Spector’s Philles label in 1963, where he produced most of their recordings. The Ronettes had a string of hits in the 1960s, including “Be My Baby” (1963), “Baby, I Love You” (1963), “(The Best Part of) Breakin’ Up” (1964), “Do I Love You?” (1964) and “Walking in the Rain” (1964). She married Phil Spector in 1968 and soon stopped performing publicly. Ronnie fled their home in 1972 and filed for divorce in 1974. Afterwards, she re‑formed the Ronettes and resumed performing. In 1980, Spector released her debut solo album Siren. Her career revived in 1986 when she appeared on Eddie Money’s hit “Take Me Home Tonight,” a Billboard Top 5 single. She went on to release the albums Unfinished Business (1987), Something’s Gonna Happen (2003), Last of the Rock Stars (2006) and English Heart (2016). She also recorded one EP, She Talks to Rainbows (1999). In 1990, Spector published her memoir Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, Or, My Life as a Fabulous Ronette. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Ronettes in 2007. In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked her at number 70 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.
