Spector died Wednesday after a brief battle with cancer, her family said. Members of Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers, the Dead Boys, and Mink DeVille must have been honored to appear on this, and the musical integrity and heart is there, for sure.LOS ANGELES - Ronnie Spector, the cat-eyed, bee-hived rock ‘n’ roll siren who sang such 1960s hits as “Be My Baby,” “Baby I Love You” and “Walking in the Rain” as the leader of the girl group the Ronettes, has died. They may have been headbangers, but they were Ronnie Spector fans. Genya Ravan's choice of the Ramones song 'Here Today, Gone Tomorrow' is brilliant. One of the Ramones biggest selling albums, if not their biggest, was the one produced by Phil Spector. It is an important piece of Ronnie's musical legacy which bridges the gap between The Ronettes Sing Their Greatest Hits to the 1995 collection of her '70s/'80s material on Sony, the 'Dangerous' re-release on Australia's Raven Records. Well, if not thousands, more session people scattered over one album than Phil Spector would put on one song. And it has pretty much a cast of thousands. It has a street feel much like Ronnie Spector's solo concerts over the years. It was conceived and produced by the legendary Genya Ravan (aka Goldie Zelcowicz) of one of the first all-girl bands, Goldie & the Gingerbreads.
