She formed the all-girl pop outfit The Ronettes with her older sister, Estelle Bennett and their cousin, Nedra Talley in 1957. She fronted that group while the now-disgraced, recently deceased, and convicted murderer Phil Spector produced the majority of their recordings.

The Ronettes had nine of their singles chart on the Billboard Hot 100 – five of which would become Top 40 hits. Some of their most popular songs included Baby, I Love You, The Best Part Of Breakin' Up, and Walking in the Rain.

The Ronettes only ever released one studio album, 1964s Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica. That same year they opened for The Rolling Stones and in 1968, The Ronettes got to be the opening act for the Beatles on their 1968 United States tour.

Ronnie then proceeded to put out five studio albums after 1980 with the last being English Heart in 2016.
