The New York Daily News
buzzed, “Go and experience the ultimate sonic
stocking stuffer!” And The New York Times raved, “It’s hard to think of a more appealing angel to welcome
the season than Ms. Spector.”
For three decades, Spector’s Christmas show has been a cherished
holiday tradition, with a song list that includes her renditions of “Frosty
the Snowman,” “Sleigh Ride,” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” Her
definitive versions of “Frosty” and “Sleigh Ride” dominate the airwaves at
Christmas time and are perennials on ASCAP’s list of the Top 20 Most–Played
Holiday Songs for the past decade, and are staples on the Billboard Holiday
Hits 100 Chart. Her Christmas tracks have also been heard in hit
movies such as Goodfellas, Joy, and Jingle All the Way.
Ronnie’s Christmas Party is a raucous, rocking blend of her Christmas
classics, Ronettes hits including “Be My Baby” (named by Billboard Magazine
as the #1 Greatest Girl Group Song of All Time,)
“Walking In The Rain,” “Baby I Love You”, cult gems from her back catalog, a
splash of doo–wop, and plenty of Ronnie’s inimitable off–the–cuff commentary.
The San Francisco Chronicle proclaimed, “If it takes Christmas to make Ronnie Spector come out
and play, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”

More about Ronnie Spector:
Spector’s current high-profile stretch was described
by People Magazine as a “Victory Lap” for “The Original Rock Queen”. Billboard
Magazine named ‘Be My Baby’ as the #1
Greatest Girl Group Song of All Time, NPR included Spector’s
1964 debut at #20 on their 150 Greatest
Albums of the Rock Era, Made
by Female Artist, and her
busy 2017/18 also included the release of ‘LOVE POWER’, her first single
recorded with The Ronettes in decades, a commanding performance at Lincoln
Center, an appearance on FOX-TV’s Good Day New York, a Main Stage
performance at SF Pride and more. The acclaimed singer was also
presented with the Legend Award by
The Woman’s International Music Network at their “She Rocks Award” ceremony. She was
featured in the BBC’s 2018 documentary about Amy Winehouse. Spector was
honored with a Lifetime Spirit Award by LSA Family Health Services, in her
native East Harlem. In addition, ‘Be My Baby’ has been added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress,
preserved as a work of historical and cultural significance, and is also now an
official addition to the Grammy Hall of Fame.
As a seminal force in Sixties Rock, Spector’s swagger, moxie and trademark
voice (still instantly recognizable from the first note,) defined an
era. As the Number One pop group in England, Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes
headlined over acts including The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and The
Yardbirds. In the years since, Spector has had songs written for her by George
Harrison as well as by Bruce Springsteen, and has recorded with Jimi
Hendrix, Springsteen & The E Street Band, members of The Beatles
and more. Billy Joel wrote the smash ‘Say Goodbye to Hollywood’ as a
tribute to Ronnie, and Eddie Money’s ‘Take Me Home Tonight’ celebrated
her trademark Be My Baby vocals, with the duet reaching #4 on the
Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Now in her sixth decade as a performer and a style icon, Spector has reached a
new level of cultural significance. Critical respect is at its peak, and she
continues to thrill — inspiring and empowering a new generation of fans as an
enduring, transcendent figure, who has overcome adversity to build a career
that is nothing short of remarkable. Much as B.B. King came to embody
the blues, or Chuck Berry was to early Rock ‘n Roll, Spector has
solidified her status as the Rosetta Stone for female rock performers of today.
