Estelle Bennett of The Ronettes passed away on 11/02.


As a member of the Ronettes, Estelle sang backing vocals on the 1963 hit Be My Baby, considered by many, including the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, to be the greatest pop song of all time

Here's their last appearance together and then how we remember them, at least, if like me, you're past your sell by date.

Oh this is sad news. I was a huge fan of the Ronettes way back when. I must be way past my "sell by date" too.

The Ronettes, fortunately, will never be stale.

RIP, Estelle.

Very sad indeed! That RRHOF performance was magic!

You guys reckon you're past your "sell by" date, eh?? I'm so old and ugly they won't even put me on the shelf!!

RIP, Estelle.... she's looking GREAT in that video! And what a GREAT song that is.

They were awesome in their prime. I liked them more than the Supremes and I pestered my mom for months to buy me some go-go boots
