RONNIE SPECTOR, iconic lead singer of the 1960s popular girl group, THE RONETTES, passed away January 12, 2022 at 78 following a battle with cancer. Although she has joined other music icons in rock and roll heaven, the hit songs of The Ronettes, including “Be MY Baby”, “Do I Love You”, “(The Best Part of) Breaking Up”, “Walking In The Rain”, and “Baby I Love You”, can always be heard in the Classic Hits Mix at GreatGold.fm Internet Radio, the home of original recordings of Classic Rock, Pop Oldies, and Classic Hit Wannabees since 2008.

GREATGOLD is GreatGold Internet Radio, and GreatGold.fm, as well as ClassicHitOldies.com, also known as GreatGoldHits.com, and by GreatGoldMusic.com. No matter which you choose, you'll always get GreatGold. We play Classic Hits from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and the best of the 2000s, 2010s and beyond. Sometimes you'll hear a song in the Rock category, or Pop, Blues, Motown, Disco, Soul, Country-Pop, Country-Rock, Soft Rock, male and female singers, boy bands, girl bands, and once in awhile you may hear an outstanding independent or new artist with a Classic Hits Wannabee.

The GreatGold Classic Hits Mix consists of, generally, Top 40 hits from the past, the recent past, sometimes the distant past, and, occasionally, songs that should have been hits. We play the Best of More Than 60+ years of The Greatest Music from Life's Soundtrack. The finest of the last half of the 20th Century, mixed in with gems from the 21st Century. No matter which Genre the Songs first fell into, or, which type of radio station first played them, it's a tune we call GREATGOLD, and, part of the History of Rock and Roll.
