Estelle Bennett, former singer with The Ronettes and sister of Veronica Bennett-Spector, has died, the BBC reports.

Bennett's brother-in-law, Jonathan Greenfield, said..."Estelle was Ronnie's sidekick."

"She was very much into fashion and worked with Ronnie on the whole look and style of the Ronettes," he added.

...The two sisters and their cousin Nedra Talley signed with Spector's Philles Records in 1963.

Their recording of Be My Baby went to number two in the US that year.

Their other hits included Walkin' in the Rain and Baby I Love You.
