Whe I was a kid there were two tough-as-nails girl groups amongst the flood. The Shangri-Las and the Ronettes. Both very cool. Ronnie married the original mad genius of rock & roll, Phil Spector, and that sidelined what promised to be a great career. She can still sing with the best of 'em. During an ill-fated comeback in the late 70's, her backup band was Bruce and the E Streeters. NOBODY else can claim that distinction, (the cover of Billy Joel's Goodbye To Hollywood is a classic - produced by that other mad genius, Little Steven!). Her latest release of Marshall Crenshaw covers is a fun romp too. I'm gonna put it on the stereo right now.
