Cause and Effect presents:
Be My Baby, The Life and Times of Ronnie Spector with DJ Miss Kitty
Today’s show is dedicated to the recently departed, Ronnie Spector, born Veronica Yvette Bennett (August 10, 1943 – January 12, 2022), on 151st Street in Spanish Harlem. The powerhouse American singer with famed gritty yet vulnerable voice formed the girl group the Ronettes in 1957 with her elder sister, Estelle Bennett, and their cousin, Nedra Talley. The Ronettes started off as a more demure trio called The Darling Sisters and then Ronnie and the Relatives before blossoming into the trendsetting, hit-making, teased hair wearing, eyeliner smudging rockers they are remembered as today. In 1963, they joined forces with “Wall of Sound” producer Phil Spector who contributed to their soaring success and subsequent downfall. But in true survivor fashion, Ronnie broke free from Spector’s Svengali-like snare and re-invented herself and her career in the 70s, 80s, and early 2000s. Like her resilient voice and spirit, Ronnie’s lasting legacy on rock n roll is one for the ages. RIP, Ronnie. The higher the hair, the closer to god!

The Trail of Two
Good morning and welcome to your weekend.
Today you will hear a return of the segment This Week in Indian Country. In this segment two news broadcasts are shared. This past week on Tuesday, January 11, two men journeyed on to their ancestors.
The two men are: Clyde Bellecourt – Co-Founder of AIM (American Indian Movement) and Vince Fontaine – Co-Founder of the popular band; Eagle and Hawk. May both men journey well and swiftly.
- I had the distinct honor to have met and interacted with Clyde many years ago when I volunteered at the Prayer Vigil for the Earth several years in a row. Clyde was always there. He was open and willing to share. It was a honor to be in ceremony with him and even shared time at a picnic bench eating our meals. We talked of our mother the Earth, we spoke of our children and we just enjoyed sharing time. He truly had a wonderful heart. Clyde was involved with many activities that helped his people, his community and the indigenous population as a whole.
- Vince Fontaine was a co-founding member of Eagle & Hawk. What can be said except I bloomed to their music late, but played their music frequently over the past year. Sharing the experiences of the indigenous people musically is a great way for the truth to be delivered. I cannot believe we lost one of the founding members. Hope we can continue to share the music of Eagle & Hawk.
The links provided above will take you to the respective news broadcasts. I am airing these broadcasts in this week’s segment of This Week in Indian Country.
I also wanted to share that I hope each of you are safe Sunday and Monday. Please take this storm seriously, especially if it is mostly sleet and or ice.
Thanks for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show.
Walk in Peace,

A Merry Christmas Morning
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Yuletide, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy Hanukkah (for all who celebrated that holiday at the start of this month)
No matter how you celebrate this time of year, I wish you all good health, joy, laughter, love, happiness and peace.
This show is full of holiday music. I think this was the most music I have been able to find performed by indigenous musical artists. I hope you have a blessed morning and build beautiful memories.
Happy Holidays to you all.
