Is Ronnie Bennett the sexiest female vocalist of all time?

Ran across this footage browsing YT, and it occurred to me that many of the rising generation probably never saw Ronnie Bennett perform. This really needs to be corrected.



To paraphrase another old song, I don't know what she's got, but she's sure got a lot. The Theda Bara of vocalists.

... I just have a habit of referring to divorced women by their maiden names.
My favorite Ronettes cut is "Do I Love You," but the timing on that one was terrible.

A little before my time. My crush when I was around 13 or so was Belinda Carlisle, particularly in this video. She had the face of an angel (I didn't know about her less than angelic party girl ways at the time, but it had no visible affects on her incredible appearance in this shoot).

He wasn't the friendliest guy in the world. I think he was a bit insecure about his sister's massive success in the music world, and everyone asking him about her all the time.

Anyway, while everyone was crushing on Susanna, I was having my fantasies about the Peterson sisters. Hell, all the Bangles were hot.
