The Ronettes are most well known for the song "Be My Baby" "Be My Baby" is a song by American girl group the Ronettes that was released as a single in August 1963 and later appeared as a track on their 1964 album Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica. The song was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector. Spector also produced the Ronettes' recording in what is now considered a quintessential example of his Wall Of Sound production formula. It was recorded with a host of session musicians later known as The Wrecking Crew. Ronnie Spector is the only Ronette that appears on the track."Be My Baby" was the Ronettes' biggest hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is considered one of the best songs of the 1960s by NME (2nd), Time, and Pitchfork (6th). In 1999, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song ranked 22nd on Rolling Stone’s both 2004 and 2020 editions of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and described as a “Rosetta Stone for studio pioneers such as the Beatles and Brian Wilson,” a notion supported by All Music who writes, "No less an authority than Brian Wilson has declared 'Be My Baby' the greatest pop record ever made— no arguments here." In 2006, the Library of Congress honored the Ronettes' version by adding it to the United States National Recording Registry. In 2017, Billboard named the song number 1 on their list of the "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time".When Bennett was 14, she and her sister Ronnie, and their cousin Nedra Talley started singing together. After a number of unsuccessful attempts, the trio reinvented themselves as the Ronettes. Signed up by 23-year-old Phis Spector, Ronnie became lead, with Estelle and Nedra as backing. They would eventually have a No.1 hit song in 1963, ”Be My Baby”.The Ronettes broke up in 1966. Bennett recorded a single in 1968 for Laurie Records, "The Year 2000 / The Naked Boy". In 1969, now known as Estal Bond she fronted The Love Chain, an all-women quartet that also featured: Laura Logan, Ann Trip and Cookie Woodson. They recorded three 45's but only the Teddy Vann produced 'I'm Lovin' You Baby' released on Minit made any headway. The Love Chain had finished by 1971 and Estelle Bennett rarely performed in public from then on, largely quitting the music business.In 2007, when the Ronettes was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it was decided that she was too fragile to perform with them. She spoke two brief sentences during her acceptance speech: "I would just like to say, thank you very much for giving us this award. I'm Estelle of the Ronettes, thank you." She did, however, come back onstage for a final bow with the other Ronettes after the performance of "Be My Baby".
