Remembering Nedra Talley-Ross: The Last Original Member of The Ronettes
Today, the sad news of the passing of Nedra Talley-Ross, the last surviving original member of The Ronettes, was shared on social media by her daughter, Nedra K. Ross. Nedra Talley-Ross, who was 80 years old, was a key figure in the legendary 1960s girl group The Ronettes, alongside her cousins Ronnie Spector and Estelle Bennett. The trio, under the guidance of producer Phil Spector, made a significant impact on the music scene with hits like "Be My Baby" and "Baby, I Love You." Talley-Ross later transitioned to Christian music, releasing successful albums like 1978's Full Circle. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, solidifying The Ronettes' legacy in pop music. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this time of loss.
