""As a founding member of The Ronettes, along with her beloved cousins Ronnie and Estelle, Nedra's voice, style and spirit helped define a sound that would change music. Her contribution to the group's story and their defining influence will live forever.""
"Born Nedra Talley on Jan. 27, 1946, in New York City, Ross started singing as a child and joined cousins Veronica and Estelle Bennett to form the family act the Darling Sisters. The trio later took the name Ronnie and the Relatives and finally, in 1963, they became the Ronettes.""
Nedra Talley Ross, the last surviving member of the Ronettes, died at the age of 80. The Ronettes, known for their hit "Be My Baby," recorded nearly 30 songs under Phil Spector, with nine reaching the Billboard Hot 100. Despite only releasing one album, the group had a significant cultural impact, touring with the Rolling Stones and befriending the Beatles. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, recognizing their enduring influence on music.
