Ep 50: Ronnie Spector (Retrospective)

For Play That Rock n' Roll's 50th (!!) episode, we are joined by Jordan Runtagh from iHeartMedia to discuss the incredible life and career of Ronnie Spector. We cover her early days with the fabulous Ronettes, her marriage to (and subsequent escape from) Phil Spector, the struggles she faced as a solo artist, her big '80s comeback with Eddie Money, and how she would finally be recognized properly as the "Queen of Rock and Roll" in later years. Jordan joins the pod to share his insight on Ronnie's discography and to talks about his experience of interviewing her in person.
