Ronnie Spector, Christine Ohlman and Amy Winehouse...
Ronnie Spector: Who didn't have a crush on Ronnie Spector in the 60's. While hubby Phil Spector took 'crush' a little too literally, Ronnie seems to have survived quite well, currently living in Connecticut and performing occasionally in the area. songfacts.com for Be My Baby
Christine Ohlman: This queen of blue-eyed rock n' soul grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples. Teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back, picking up a guitar and forging a career as a songwriter in the process. She's the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band, who sang at SNL's 25th Anniversary telecast, Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary bash at The Garden, and the Central Park Summerstage Tribute To Janis Joplin; appears on Grammy nominees A Tribute To Howlin' Wolf (with Taj Mahal and Lucinda Williams) and Charlie Musselwhite's One Night In America. Catch her shows at Cafe Nine in New Haven. You'll be glad you did.
Amy Winehouse: What else can you say about her - brilliant and self-destructive. Will she live long enough to record a followup to her amazing Back to Black? - article
