ARTIST: Ronnie Spector
GIG: Wednesday night at City Winery
Ronnie Spector deserves the title of “living legend.” The Spanish Harlem native became the leader of the hugely successful girl group The Ronettes when in her teens, and has since performed with everyone from the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix to Joey Ramone and Patti Smith. But since 1988 she’s hosted an annual Christmas music party in the city, and this year is no exception.
