Ronettes

The Ronettes were an American girl group from Spanish Harlem, New York. The group consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (later known as Ronnie Spector), her older sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley. They had sung together since they were teenagers, then known as "The Darling Sisters". Signed first by Colpix Records in 1961, they moved to Phil Spector's Philles Records in March 1963 and changed their name to "The Ronettes".
==Links to Peel==
Peel would often play tracks from the Ronettes on his BBC Radio One shows in the 1970's and nominated their track, Be My Baby, as one of his all time favourites in the Peel's 77 All Time Favourite Records List, published in January 1972 on Disc & Music Echo music paper.
Covers of Ronettes songs played by Peel include the Phil Spector-produced Ramones version of "Baby, I Love You", which reached #8 in the UK charts in 1980.
