RONNIE SPECTOR CROSSED THE RIVER - 01/13/22
Re: RONNIE SPECTOR CROSSED THE RIVER - 01/13/22
She was married to Phil Spector. He was a music genius, but he was a real psycho. Held her prisoner in his estate in LA for years, always threatening to shoot her. Finally she escaped and made it back to her home in NY. Several years later Spector did murder a gal in his mansion, he is doing life in the California pen.

I can't keep up with all the "groups of three famous people dying". Is this the start of a new one or the end of the last one?

This and yes he should have rotted in prison (and he did, Ronnie outlived his sorry ass).

She sang a great backup part to Eddie Money in Take Me Home Tonight - had never heard of her until then.

Never realized the line in the Eddie Money song "just like Ronnie sang" alluded to her and her previous song.
I read that Money had the song presented to him and didn't think much of it. He thought the the only way it would work was if he had her sing the female part. His producers told him that was impossible but eventually he was able to get in contact with her and get her to do it.

You're more than welcome.
I likely saw that at the folks place when it first ran, as they liked that show.

Brian Wilson wrote this for her, however, she didn't record it until 1999. It's a shame she & the Ronettes didn't record it back in the day. It would've been a smash for them. The loss of her voice is palpable, but still a beautiful song
