My Take
Estelle Bennett feels to me like a living embodiment of the early 1960s girl-group sound. As one of the Ronettes alongside her sister Ronnie and cousin Nedra, she stood at the heart of one of pop's most thrilling vocal blends, shining inside Phil Spector's famous wall of sound. I am drawn to the figures who hold a group together rather than dominate the spotlight, and that is how I picture her. Born in Spanish Harlem and gone in 2009, she carried the memory of a golden era. I hold a quiet, lasting respect for performers like her.
