It exemplified Spector's \"Wall Of Sound\" production technique, where he layered lots of instruments and used echo effects.\nThe Ronettes were Veronica (Ronnie) Bennett, her sister Estelle Bennett and their cousin Nedra Talley. Phil fell in love with Veronica's voice and immediately went about signing the group to Philles.\n--\nVeronica Bennett was the only Ronette to sing on this. Phil Spector rehearsed her for weeks and had her do 42 takes before he got the sound he wanted. Spector and Bennett got married in 1968, and they divorced in 1974.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
