Be My Little Cash Cow

Producer Phil Spector does not have to pay his one-time proteges The Ronettes $3 million in royalties, according to ruling of NY's high court. The Ronettes had been seeking money they said was owed for use of their songs in films and in advertisements. The State Court Of Appeals said it found The Ronettes' plight sympathetic, because they have earned less than $15,000 in royalties. Why is this interesting to many of us? Ronnie, leader of aforementioned Ronettes, once had the last name "Spector", which means this is also a divorce court issue. Estranged.
