A Brief History Of The Ronettes
After performing for a few years under the name The Darling Sisters, the group signed to legendary producer Phil Spector’s Philles label in 1963 and were prodded to change their name to The Ronettes soon after.
Clearly infatuated with the talents of Veronica (Ronnie) from the get-go, Spector was the man responsible for putting her centre stage and using the group as a driving force for his now-famous ‘Wall of Sound’ approach. Phil and Ronnie would go on to get married in 1968, although divorced less than a decade later. So it goes.
Tracks like ‘Be My Baby’ and ‘How Does It Feel’ are a prime example of how well the trio’s harmonies suited the orchestral pop production style. The resulting sound is what sets The Ronettes apart from the countless other soul groups knocking around the mid 60s.
Whether the topic is pure joy, heartache or Santa’s sleigh, Spector’s magic behind the mixing desk adds a unique dimension to the feel of each Ronettes track. Sometimes there’s a hint of spookiness, sometimes a surf-rock edge, sometimes it’s just plain gold.
