Biography

Veronica refers to at least three recording artists:

1. Ronnie Spector (born Veronica Yvette Bennett, 10 August 1943, in New York City) was the lead singer of the girl group The Ronettes, and is known as the “original bad girl of rock and roll”.

2. Veronica (born Veronica Vazquez circa 1974 in the Bronx, New York) is a House, R&B & Soul music singer and theatrical actress. Along with singers Ultra Nate, Deborah Cox, she is considered to be one of the divas of the 1990s club music scene. She also is one of the few Latinas to become a successful artist in the English-language dance music genre.

3. Veronica (born Veronica Mehta) is an Indian R&B singer based in London, UK, who sings in Hindi, Urdu, English and Punjabi.

1. From a very young age, Ronnie took to singing, and her large, close family encouraged her to do so, along with the other members of the Ronettes, her sister Estelle Bennett and cousin Nedra Talley. The Ronettes were a multiracial group, which was a bit unusual during the 1960s. The Bennetts’ mother was black and Native American; their father was white. In her autobiography, Ronnie Spector said that at one point in her childhood, she was not sure if she was black or white.

The Ronettes, who were produced and managed by Phil Spector, had huge hits with “Be My Baby”, “Baby I Love You”, and “Walking in the Rain” in the early 60’s, but they disbanded in 1966 after the public apparently lost their taste for the girl group sound. From 1968 to 1973, Ronnie was married to Spector, and took his name professionally. However, by her own account he kept her a near-prisoner and limited her opportunities to pursue her musical ambitions.

    esa Veronica que solo conocen en su casa tambien es conocida en la mía. Es una de las voces mas asombrosas del dance music y Los remixes de sus temas Someone To Hold y Let Me Go... Release Me fueron grandes exitos de las pistas por muchas semanas y considerados entre los mejores himnos de la musica bailable de los ultimos tiempos. Pueden comprobarlo en wikipedia o myspace.com
