The Ronettes are super sexy and good looking as well,but those Corr sisters are probably a little bit more reserved and conservitive,but just as beautiful women to boot.

Yes, I was 13 when the Ronettes hit the top 40... and of course I was in love with all of them, especially Nedra. I actually met her in 1970... I still skip a few breaths when I think about it. A lovely person... Those 3 voices could put me in a trance back then and they still do... God bless you Estelle.

Easily the hottest three girls in a group, even better than the Corrs sisters, which is saying a lot.

@SouLoveReal Man, you guys really know your sh....stuff. But all said, Ronnie is still the apex of that group (who I wished had sung in the group when I saw the Ronettes perform at the Beatles Dodger Stadium concert. They were the reason that I went to that concert, to see Ronnie, not the Beatles...well not as much anyway. Ronnie was and still is the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll".

Ronnie Spector was and still is 'the' ikon for female rock 'n' roll. What a fabulously great voice from a living doll. My fantasy was that she was always singing just me. She is the 'one' performer that I would love to meet. Ronnie, please continue to 'rock on'. I miss you.

@Eddieb715 ... #1) First catch as many Ronettes "film clippings" from various varitety and Rock & Roll shows of the 1960s. #2) Try to get the ones where they are actually sining live. Nedra and Estelle's voices are "there," but they are not the ones on the recording. #3) Get a hold of a good collection (Phil Spector "Back To Mono"), and read the liner notes. Also read Ronnie's Book, "How I Survided The '60s," and Darlene's book, "My Name Is Love." It's all there.

@Eddieb715 ... That distinct voice you hear in the background on "The Best Part Of Breaking Up" is Darlene Love of the Blossoms. Also, if you listen closely, you can hear Cher up fronting the chorus.

I love listening to their greatest hits on vinyl with headphones, especially to this song. "What'd I Say" is one of few songs where you actually get to hear the (raw and live) voices of Ronnie, as well as Sister Estelle and Cousin Nedra on back-ups. The back-up voices on the Ronettes' studio recordings were usually performed by a chorus of singers featuring many of the Phil Spector roster of solo stars, groups, and session singers of the time.
