BBC Four will air a special documentary on the late Ronnie Spector tonight.
The music icon passed away this week aged 78. She died following a "brief cancer battle" according to her family.
“She was with family and in the arms of her husband, Jonathan”, Ronnie Spector's family said.
“Ronnie lived her life with a twinkle in her eye, a spunky attitude, a wicked sense of humour and a smile on her face. She was filled with love and gratitude. Her joyful sound, playful nature and magical presence will live on in all who knew, heard or saw her”.
Many household names left touching tributes following the news of Ronnie Spector's death.
Beach Boys' Brian Wilson wrote, “I just heard the news about Ronnie Spector and I don’t know what to say. I loved her voice so much and she was a very special person and a dear friend. This just breaks my heart. Ronnie’s music and spirit will live forever. Love & Mercy, Brian”.
