      I'm 73. This song was playing on MY transistor radio when I was riding my horse along the Medina River outside Bandera, Texas, when I was 16. I don't know what the wild turkeys, cattle and the Angora goats thought of that symphony, but I was in 7th Heaven. Thanks, Ronnie. Rest in peace.

    My heart broke and tears filled my eyes when i heard that the voice I loved since the early sixties had fell silent. I have to admit I had a crush on Ronnie Spector that lasted till this day. She had that tremendous and distinct voice that came from the best rock and roll of the fifties thru early seventies. The Ronnetes songs and others from that era of rock also brings tears when I think of simpler times when all of my family was still alive and we used to listen on our little wooden radio to those girl groups that captured our hearts and souls.

She was the most graciously generous woman; delivering a performance like no other, then hanging out for hours after her show meeting and greeting devoted fans. She was classy, sassy, sweet, and super intelligent. I’ll cherish my memories of her, one of the fiercest, bravest, loveliest souls to grace this earth. Thank you Miss Ronnie for giving so much of yourself to the world. ✌🏽🙏🏽♥️
