I didn't know Estelle had passed! I'm so sorry! Her fans would have helped her out if she needed them, had they known-..look at how much joy she brought for all of us w/ the Ronettes! RIP Estelle and thank you for all of those beautiful moments you 3 gave when you were here, young, and beautiful. So sad! I hope you're somewhere reading the comments from those of us who loved you guys. I will never forget you all.

@2011lamb in a New York Times interview Nedra mentioning that when they became famous Estelle had a few famous "Suitors" .. George Harrison was one Mick Jagger & Johnny Mathers were the others. so from what i can gather i dont think they were serious but hey i could be wrong lol ...

[2011lamb]

Does anyone how serious her relationship was with George Harrison? Was it based on friendship or did it turn serious? Not much info on the two.

Bull jive, can't no Supremes sing like this. The Supremes sings too plain. They have always sung like the way they sing today. The Ronettes sings with that echo style singing. They throw their voices. Then Diana Ross wants to start ego tripping and leave the group. They just don't know how good they look together. They look so ladylike.Alone she look like nothing. She was no way near as popular singing alone. as she was singing with the Supremes.

The Ronetters left nobody behind

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

The 60's had the finest looking ladies...love the hair and the fashion.

Thanks for making me love angelic voices of the Ronettes

The Ronettes bigger than the Supremes that's a no. The R's were sexy and classy but the Supremes had the glamour and that look that when you looked at them one couldn't help but fall in love with them. Mary the pretty one, Flo the sophisticated one, and Diana the glamorous one doing all she can to get your attention. The R's were strictly rock and roll girls so they would've been in the league with the Beatles, Beach Boys, etc.

@LesbianVampireLover Strong point re. Motown vs. Phil Spector as producer. While Berry Gordy would exploit artists financially too, he wasn't driven by a personality disorder and bipolar disorder to purposely ruin artist's lives and careers, including his exquisite wife, like Phil Spector. You're on the money. IMO, RS and the Ronettes best the Supremes for singing ability, personality, flat out feminine beauty and raw sexuality, while being classy at the same time. It hurts

@drjimiboy69 Estelle WAS so beautiful!!!! I watch all of these old videos and its like, damn, one night its Nedra, another its Ronnie, and yet Estelle was always there. I swear to God, the Ronettes, for all of their glory, are still the most underrated of the sixties girl groups. Had they recorded on Motown (and with Phil Spector, of course), they would have been bigger than the Supremes.

@UPX4014 she did look a little bad at the HOF but I must say I met Ronnie once and she was very sweet, modest and appreciative of her fans....Lets face it Estelle and Nedra were beautiful and competent background singers(Estelle was the best dancer) but after all Ronnie was star of the show..Phil wanted Ronnie as a solo but her mom wouldnt allow it....Who knows? she might have been bigger as a solo...at least she let them speak.....A lot of front stars wouldnt....
