Rip Thread

Ronnie Spector, pop singer who fronted the Ronettes, with hits including Be My Baby, dies aged 78 of cancer.



They had quite a career and at their peak they toured the US in 1966 as a support act to the Beatles; and the Rolling Stones supported them on a Ronettes tour of the UK!

 

Ah, I know that one! Great voice.

 

She had and combined with Phil Spectors wall of sound, great hits.

 

Sad, he’s lived a life tho.

 

'Meat' is the first one that's brought back a time and a place and other people, and I didn't really like him that much (or, rather, Steinman). Sure evokes an era though!

 

Sad news, I have very happy memories brought on by his songs.

A 1980's New years eve, in the Taswell Arms in Southsea watching a bunch of people dressed as Sunflowers from the TV add dancing and singing along to Bat out of hell is one of the best.
And of course the Bat album was a staple of my student life.

 

When Jim Steinman died last year Meat Loaf paid tribute, posting: "Coming here soon, my brother Jimmy."

 

Sad about Meatloaf. I met him in the 90’s at a car hi-fi shop in Cornwall of all places!

 

Now. I have heard of Meatloaf.

 

Both!!

 

Should 'Meatloaf' now be known as 'Brown Bread'?

 

Now that is really sad ….CB radio club! sorry @Ducbird …I’ll get my hat and coat…again !

 

Roger, tango, Charlie fuken Farley and all that eyeball eyeball

 

Bound to get loads of Meatloaf jokes now,..But I won’t do that
