I was heartbroken when I heard of the struggles Estelle went through after the Ronettes broke up. It's just horrible how the record industry has taken advantage of so many artists while the record companies still make millions from these artists. I hope Estelle had good friends and family around her during her difficult times. So sad how when your young and famous you can have everyone wanting to be near you but as soon as the money and fame is gone your left alone to fend for yourself. Estelle had a daughter who turned out to be just as beautiful as she was with her mother's gorgeous looks. It was wonderful to see the Ronettes get inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Now there memories will live on for other generations and there wonderful music. Your amongst the angels and stars now Estelle. Shine Bright up there and may God Bless Your Soul.🙏
"Be My Little Baby" maybe the best pop song ever and sounds just as fresh today. Ronnie's voice and energy are wonderful. She made my childhood a brighter place. I will miss her.

No thongs. No butts showing. No silly clown costumes. No prancing around the stage half naked. No stupid stage antics. No crazy stage gimmicks. Just pure talent! Period!!
@@generalyellor8188 Idiot? The only Sex that was selling in that video were the Ronettes . . . it's between the ears not the legs, the twinkle in her eyes the power of her voice LIVE and the exuberance she displayed not to mention the audience reaction THAT'S what sold . . . . who was even paying attention to the "wallpaper" in the background? Eddie B had it right not the Idiot making silly comments . . .
@@generalyellor8188 you must be talking about the moulin rouge performance, MR is a cabaret and non of those dancers were with the ronettes. Amusing that its the room temperature IQ dimwit that calls someone else an idiot.
You know. These beautiful ladies just had what it took. They didn't preform half necked. They didn't have people flying all over their stage. They preformed with superb talent. I remember when they first started preforming. I use to play their records over and over again. There just extremely beautiful and very talented. There will never be another female singing group that comes even close to there talent or natural beauty.
I'm always playing be my baby my deepest condolences to her family and loved one's it bring a tear to my eyes every time I play this song she was so jolly full of life beautiful Lady SIP Ronnie you will be surely missed
@@earlene9866 I met this group 6 months ago,and I fell in love with Ronnie Spector's voice I've never seen anything like it and even though I didn't live at that time I feel an emptiness inside and a huge sadness for the lack of Ronnie and Estelle Benett i wish i had known her
I’m so sorry for the untimely death of Ronnie Spector yesterday, 12 Jan 2022. My deepest sympathies and condolences go to her family and husband Jonathan Greenfield. Thank you 🙏, Ronnie for the wonderful songs in the world of Rock ‘n’ Roll music you contributed here on earth 🌏. Love you and your songs ❤️👍.
They were all beauties, but Estelle the most beautiful. I read where she had a sad life. These people were so great ---- no props or auto tune or theatrics--just talent.
Made me feel old when I discovered Estelle had died. Fuck I am old! What a lovely thing to do to immortalize people like this. Women like this were ripped off, used and abused and it was extraordinary that they were able to achieve some sort of success. It is only right that they should be honored. This tribute will be here long after we are all dead. Well done John Kenower.
Nice to see this. As a teen, I'd meet with Estelle at their apartment in NY on the west side.We'd go to Chock full of nuts coffee shops nearby and chat for hours. But I noted a deep sadness. I took some pictures at their apartment. Her mom Beatrice was also sweet. Estelle was truly shy and unassuming despite her fame. We lost contact when I moved to the Bronx, then to NJ and later I found out she lived near me. RIP Estelle.
These girls today can't touch their shoes, those women back then was so talented and naturally beautiful and sexy, they had it all. The good old days are here to stay. It makes me feel good all over, bring back times when you where a kid and good memories. Thanks Ronettes.
I was born way after the great decades of music. I have to agree with you. I don't know why people call today's music, music. Many of today's singers are an embarrassment to the great great singers of the past.

From Argentina with love, to Estelle Bennett. Thanks for all that magical moments of 1963,1964,1965,1966,1967,1968,1969 when we were teenagers . RIP Beautifull Estelle, your eyes were full of love.
Estelle-I’m sorry for a lifetime of pain. Knowone can take away the fact that you were a beautiful person from the beginning to the end. We will always love you.
@Gaenor Rees don’t be too hard on yourself. Nobody knew Estelle was homeless. After the ronettes broke up, each member went their own way assuming that they would be okay. Estelle just wandered the streets telling people the ronettes would perform at a jazz club. She missed being famous so much the break up really got to her. But her daughter did say that she was very happy at the rock and roll hall of fame induction. She was happy to get her pictures taken and hearing people ask for her autograph.
THEY ARE THE GREATEST GIRL GROUP OF THE 20TH CENTURY & POSSIBLY OF ALL TIME !!! LOVED ALL THEIR SONGS. RIP ESTELLE THE RONETTES WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT YOUR LOVELY VOICE !!!!!!
That last picture always gives me goosebumps in a sad way. The few seconds of silence and the simple black and white colors. This was a well-made tribute video for Estelle. She's finally at peace...
I heard the news today about Ronnie Spechter passing.. I'm a 68 year old white guy. And I cried a little listening to this. There goes my youth.. i loved all those Motown singers and still. Man, could they sing..
To be fair, Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes had no connection to Motown or to Detroit. They did all their marvelous recording for the company which was owned by Phil Spector, in Philadelphia and on the eastern seaboard. He was famous for the "wall of sound" made famous in the 60's, and which is prominent in the music of the Ronettes. The Motown company founded by Berry Gordy in Detroit was based exclusively in Detroit. Eventually, Gordy moved the company to California in about 1970.
Thanks so much John for this beautiful tribute! "Be My Baby" is my #1 favorite song of all time! Three beautiful women who made a major mark in this world.
I miss you Estelle! I'm sorry you had bad health and other problems in your life. You and The Ronettes brought much happiness into my life! Thanks for the memories! You're in Heaven, now! May you enjoy eternal happiness. R.I.P. I love you and the other Ronettes!
The unmistakable and unforgettable sound of the Ronettes. Long may their memory remain highly appreciated. They were exceptional in performance and ability. Thank you,girls,you were great! You will never be forgotten for the music and the joy you brought whenever and wherever you appeared. I wish you were here now!
...such talent...Miss Estelle, you are with the Angels now and they are no doubt enjoying that. You are not forgotten, perhaps much can be learned by the likes of those 'singers' who are what is termed ' talent ' these days.... ; All of these LADIES had class, style, subdued sexiness and subdued sensuality...RARELY found among the music of today,..take a lesson, Beyonce`.....
The ladies ruled. Estelle was a talent on her own. We will always hear her voice....the songs are eternal. Thanks, Estelle....thanks, for everything. I know you are singing with a great band.
Of all the girl groups of the sixties the Shirelles and the Ronettes reign supreme. But of all the members of those two groups Estelle radiated a enchantment and captivation like none of the rest. Rest In Peace beautiful Estelle.
Hello, Everybody. Remembering Beautiful Estelle Benett and 14 years since she left us today 02/11/2023. Ms. Estelle Benett you are trully missed everyday for all who appreciate good song and especially this year 2023 because "Be My Baby" is completing 60 years from its release. It´s incredible after so long this song still touches hearts and souls of millions of people around our world. And you are part of it, Ms. Estelle Benett, along with your beloved sister Veronica Benett and your cousin Nedra Taley. Ms. Estelle Benett, you are trully missed everyday and loved by all The Ronettes fan around the world.
Estelle you were an absolutely beautiful and gorgeous and incredible woman in every single way. The Ronettes would not be anywhere near as successful as they are now without you. You were so talented and so beautiful both inside and out. The world lost one of it's most gorgeous souls and heaven gained an angel the day you left us. ❤😇🎶
Estelle on behalf of st Mary's food pantry(Nyc) we All have had the pleasure working with us volunteering u were such a lovely person.SIP FROM YOUR ST MARYS FAMILY.GOD BRINGS BACK THE RIGHTEOUS AND UNRIGHTOUS.
a great tribute to Estelle ... we miss you and we'll always remember all the great memories when you, Ronnie & Nedra gave us your beautiful melodies ... may you rest in eternal peace
It remains one of my greatest memories of my teen years to be in the audience at Murray the K's Christmas show at the Brooklyn Fox theater when Nedra Ronnie and Estelle started out and performed their first and newly hit record, "Be My Baby". They were that rare combination of Beautiful, Sexy, Sensual, Classy, and Talented. I can tell you that there wasn't a guy in that audience that didn't want to be their baby.
Estelle was a sweet lady - Never had the pleasure, but she was always my favorite Ronette, beautiful and talented, and from what I read in Ronnie's biography, very intelligent. She will be missed. RIP, Estelle.
Tonight (and every night since 2011) an all-star band: Estelle Bennett on lead vocals, John Lennon on backing vocals, Clarence Clemons turning in a superb sax solo. And Estelle's choice of drummer: Keith Moon, Gene Krupa, or Bobby Graham (music IS truly timeless). A line-up made in Heaven. I'd say the trite R.I.P. , but they all have work to do.
@@rmick66 And anyone who doesn't know who Hal Blaine was needs to listen to the first 5 seconds of this song. It's the most recognizable drum riff ever.
I was born in the 60s and grew up in the 70s and then graduating in the 80s. Ronnie and the Ronettes were the all time girl group... To bad that she had to go through just a hard life, but i she passed away knowing she was very loved not just by her family, but those who listened to her music. RIH Ronnie now the Bernette Sisters are reunited once again singing their beautiful music❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent fantastic songs, along with there, voices great hits. Love them today, & forever. Listen to them daily. My favorites, Be My Baby, & Walking in The Rain...
awesome. i really miss the days of spectacular groups such as the Ronettes. ya, i'm an old fart. those were the days. beautiful video. love it and thans for the posting.
Its great to see this footage of "The Ronettes" from Washington Heights, NYC (Rock & Roll hall of fame 2007) back when they were making hit records and were at the top of the charts all across america, but also sad because time passes and things change. In my opinion they were the best of the 1960's, the look, the sound, the songs, the whole package. All "The Ronettes" were pretty and had a great look but Estelle was very beautiful and could sing. Very sad that her illness really held her back and that she really could not continue in the music industry, besides Phil Spector w/all his money and power did not help their situation at all. Estelle you were and are beautiful, thank you for the music and thank you for the memories...Rest in Peace.........
I have been playing this song over and over since yesterday it's so sad that we're losing all of these great people that we grew up listening to rest in peace
I saw the Ronnettes perform at the Lake Benton, Minnesota ballroom in the mid-60's. Amazing ladies, amazing sound, amazing performance. Unforgettable..!
Tendría entre 10 y 12 años cuando en un baile del colegio escuché este tema por primera vez. Quise bailar con alguna chica pero no me animé. Pasaron más de 50 años,volví a escuchar esta maravillosa canción y percibo que estas niñas ya casi ancianas me siguen rechazando .
By all accounts, Estelle was a sweetheart. Valedictorian of her high school class, quiet, she loved being a Ronette. Trained in clothing design, she chose all the Ronettes' stage clothes. Men, Beatles included, saw her as mysterious. But Estelle was just shy and quiet by nature! She was devastated when her life as a Ronette ended, and was never the same. Estelle struggled with a host of serious emotional and physical challenges throughout her life, passing away from cancer on Feb 11.
Superbe chanson qui a traversés tant de génération ! Mais à l'époque de la ségrégation elles ne l'ont pas vécu comme à l'heure actuelle ! Respect mesdames 👏👏❤️❤️
Good evening my friend I was born in 1955 to Estelle just beautifull as her younger sister Ronnie to RIP my beautifull Estelle and Ronnie to I had a big crush on ronnie to and even today Today music is like a piece of garbage in this era to Am still listening to this music in July of 2024 to
Thanks for this tribute. Always have loved the Ronettes. Estelle was sort of an enigma to me. So sorry that she had such a hard life. She's at rest now.
This is a wonderful tribute to Estelle. I was so happy to know that all of them were still alive and well. Now one of them is gone. You know how they say, "you can't have one without the other" It is gonna be so lonely without Estelle
Estelle personified the look of the Ronettes. She was the most exotic looking of the Ronettes. I have no idea what her singing voice was like since Phil Spector added so many layers of voices to the tracks of the Ronettes records that Estelle's and Nedra's voices get lost in the chorus of backup voices.
It's so sad that she had to suffer from all those mental health problems and could not really put her talent into use after the Ronettes :( I have heard a couple of her solo tracks and her voice is actually AMAZING. She could have been the lead singer just as well as Ronnie (or even better, but that's a matter of taste obviously), and definitely would have deserved a great solo career had she not been so ill. :(
Total addict,aaaaaaaaaah. and the hand movements and skirt sashaying. I always take my heart pills before watching the "Ronnets". Cuts my excitement and desires a bit!
I was heartbroken when I heard of the struggles Estelle went through after the Ronettes broke up. It's just horrible how the record industry has taken advantage of so many artists while the record companies still make millions from these artists. I hope Estelle had good friends and family around her during her difficult times. So sad how when your young and famous you can have everyone wanting to be near you but as soon as the money and fame is gone your left alone to fend for yourself.

Now there memories will live on for other generations and there wonderful music. Your amongst the angels and stars now Estelle. Shine Bright up there and may God Bless Your Soul.🙏

awesome. i really miss the days of spectacular groups such as the Ronettes. ya, i'm an old fart. those were the days. beautiful video. love it and thans for the posting.
Beautiful, sweet, gentle Estelle. Loved and missed. ❤🎼xxx
Its great to see this footage of "The Ronettes" from Washington Heights, NYC (Rock & Roll hall of fame 2007) back when they were making hit records and were at the top of the charts all across america, but also sad because time passes and things change. In my opinion they were the best of the 1960's, the look, the sound, the songs, the whole package. All "The Ronettes" were pretty and had a great look but Estelle was very beautiful and could sing. Very sad that her illness really held her back and that she really could not continue in the music industry, besides Phil Spector w/all his money and power did not help their situation at all. Estelle you were and are beautiful, thank you for the music and thank you for the memories...Rest in Peace.........
R.I.P 💕thank you for great memories and your music 🎶
"be my little baby" My favorite part rest In peace Estelle Bennett
Loved this lady and her voice! Great song this is! A high school favorite of mine,
Rest in heaven beautiful Queen
The video was made for Estelle's memorial at the Apollo theater in NYC.
It was a pleasure to make it.
Thanks so much..
Estelle is in all our hearts and precious memories. Never forgotten.
I have been playing this song over and over since yesterday it's so sad that we're losing all of these great people that we grew up listening to rest in peace
I saw the Ronnettes perform at the Lake Benton, Minnesota ballroom in the mid-60's. Amazing ladies, amazing sound, amazing performance. Unforgettable..!
🇧🇷Apesar de não serem minhas contemporâneas, mas as simpatizo bastante e curto muito essa canção em particular. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A truly beautiful tribute. Thank you for making it.
Today marks her 6th death anniversary... Thank you so much Estelle for sharing your talent with us, may you rest in peace.
The Ronnettes were not only three beautiful talented girls they also had class and charisma-RIP Estelle you will always be beautiful ❤️.
Beautiful Lady with a magic voice rest in peace sweet girl. Don't get the groups like these girls nowadays.
Very nicely done. A fitting tribute
Tendría entre 10 y 12 años cuando en un baile del colegio escuché este tema por primera vez. Quise bailar con alguna chica pero no me animé.
Pasaron más de 50 años,volví a escuchar esta maravillosa canción y percibo que estas niñas ya casi ancianas me siguen rechazando .
Nie łam się Chłopie ❤
By all accounts, Estelle was a sweetheart. Valedictorian of her high school class, quiet, she loved being a Ronette. Trained in clothing design, she chose all the Ronettes' stage clothes. Men, Beatles included, saw her as mysterious. But Estelle was just shy and quiet by nature! She was devastated when her life as a Ronette ended, and was never the same. Estelle struggled with a host of serious emotional and physical challenges throughout her life, passing away from cancer on Feb 11.
BEST FEMALE VOCALS EVER........THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ....THE WALL OF SOUND AND THE CRYSTALS
reading all of these comments and watching all the early videos of estelle it shows that we will always love and will be missed
Superbe chanson qui a traversés tant de génération !
Mais à l'époque de la ségrégation elles ne l'ont pas vécu comme à l'heure actuelle !
Respect mesdames 👏👏❤️❤️
Good evening my friend
I was born in 1955 to
Estelle just beautifull as her younger sister Ronnie to
RIP my beautifull Estelle and Ronnie to
I had a big crush on ronnie to and even today
Today music is like a piece of garbage in this era to
Am still listening to this music in July of 2024 to
Thanks for this tribute. Always have loved the Ronettes. Estelle was sort of an enigma to me. So sorry that she had such a hard life. She's at rest now.
Such beautiful and talented young women... we were so Blessed to grow up to this music.
Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤
This is a wonderful tribute to Estelle. I was so happy to know that all of them were still alive and well. Now one of them is gone. You know how they say, "you can't have one without the other" It is gonna be so lonely without Estelle
Very well put together tribute!! Rest in peace Estelle!! God bless you!!! Thanks for posting this!!
Trio maravilloso, en especial la primera voz.
Estelle personified the look of the Ronettes. She was the most exotic looking of the Ronettes. I have no idea what her singing voice was like since Phil Spector added so many layers of voices to the tracks of the Ronettes records that Estelle's and Nedra's voices get lost in the chorus of backup voices.
Three beautiful girls that made beautiful music together and it's still great !
I heard it, I think it's called In the Year 2020 or something like that. She speaks on it, but doesn't sing if I am not mistaken.
Check out "Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow" The Ronettes Live 1966 to hear Estelle sing lead.
It's so sad that she had to suffer from all those mental health problems and could not really put her talent into use after the Ronettes :( I have heard a couple of her solo tracks and her voice is actually AMAZING. She could have been the lead singer just as well as Ronnie (or even better, but that's a matter of taste obviously), and definitely would have deserved a great solo career had she not been so ill. :(
-Estelle, you're still in the hearts of the fans, & especially, those who love you, rip.
3 classy and beautiful ladies that I grew up listening to , of course I miss you sweetheart I listen to the Ronnettes when ever I can !
Total addict,aaaaaaaaaah. and the hand movements and skirt sashaying. I always take my heart pills before watching the "Ronnets". Cuts my excitement and desires a bit!
