It is very short, probably not much more than ten seconds, but this is the last time Estelle Bennett of the Ronettes, older sister of lead singer Ronnie Spector, appeared in public. I don't have to retell the Ronettes story here. Let's just say that this is my small contribution and tribute to a member of the greatest girl group all of time. (Recorded March 12, 2007)

  • To describe Estelle Bennett as 'pretty' is like calling Stephen Hawking 'bright' - she was exquisite. Like so many others, I wish I could have helped her. To misquote Don Mclean: "But I could have told you Estelle, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you".

  • If only we knew how many strangers love us. Estelle in Teaneck-NJ all alone. Unh unh.

  • I'm glad Estelle lived long enough to become inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame

  • I started keeping up re-inquiries about the Ronettes about '07. And was happy to know that all of them were still alive. The Ronettes were the best female vocals of all time, along with my favorite Christmas song Sleigh Ride, and my all-time Be My Baby. And when we loose one of them just tears me apart.It really hurts me, to know Estelle died. They are family to me. I love you Estelle. Rest in peace.

  • No need to introduce yourself beautiful lady. Music lovers will forever know who YOU are :)

  • According to Ronnie's bio, altough she and Estelle both had boyfriendsin the States, they both decided to come on dinner dates with John and George. Since their mom chaperoned their tours, the romances stayed chaste. John being married was a jerk to play with Ronnie's feelings like that. Before reading the book, I never knew George like to date woman of all races. Fans stated he always had the prettiest girls.

  • I wish I could build a time machine and go back to 1966 or 67 when The Ronettes broke up. I would've found Estelle and prevented what happened to her in the years after that. If it meant having to stay with her and never returning to the present with the time machine, it's sacrifice I'd be willing to make knowing that she'd have a better life in the decades ahead. I would've even been willing to marry her!

  • @47yesican I "Beg" your pardone!!! Estelles mental illness did not begin until AFTER The Ronettes broke up in 1967!!! Something went dreadfully wrong with Estelle by 1972. I don't think that she was able to adjust to "civilian life" after Show Biz...

  • @zodiolestes Estelle always had a "Vacant" look in her Eyes. I grew up listening to

    the Ronnettes & wondering why Estelle had "that look".

    Now I Know. rip Estelle

  • Nice to see she was there to receive the award. Bless her.
