The Ronettes - The Ronettes





The Ronettes - The Ronettes Featuring Veronica (LP Colpix Records ‎– 486 / CP-486, 1965). 
Producer – Stu Phillips. 
Genre: Pop/Rock. 

“ The Ronettes Featuring Veronica ” is a classic album released in 1965 by sisters Ronnie and Estell Bennett and their cousin Nedra ( The Ronettes ), through the Colpix Records label. 
The LP was released in the USA, Holland and Great Britain, shortly after Phil Spector released the group's only studio album on his Philles label. 
The tracks on this LP were released as singles, at the beginning of the Ronettes' career, between 1961 and 1963, by the record labels Colpix and May, produced by the legendary Stu Phillips. 


The Ronettes grew up in New York City's 'Spanish Harlem'. The girl group was created by the fantastic vocalist Veronica Bennett (later Ronnie Spector), along with her older sister Estelle and her cousin Nedra Talley. 
The group was awarded a Grammy for the song "Walking in the Rain" and, with the song "Be My Baby", was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. The band was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , in 2007.
