We lost the great Ronnie Spector, yesterday. I actually got to see her perform as a surprise guest at one of Joey Ramone’s birthday bashes at Coney Island High back in 1997. I was there to see The Dickies and the Pristeens, but who shows up but a bona fide rock n’ roll legend. The chemistry between her and Joey was palpable.
In any case, someone posted the below clip on Facebook today, and it immediately struck a chord. Here are Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes pursuing some hapless Italian fop on Mott Street in SoHo in 1964. Crazily enough, the bakery featured towards the end of the video is actually still there here in 2022, although the rest of the street looks entirely different.
Rest in peace, Ronnie.
