LISTEN TO BOOMTOWN RADIO! “ALL the Music That Matters for the Generation That Created Rock 'n' Roll”

This Day in Rock History - June 12th

1972: Ronnie Spector escapes from the Alhambra, California mansion of her husband, legendary composer and producer Phil Spector. Ronnie, most famous as the leader singer of the Ronettes, says she had been held there as a virtual prisoner since the day she married Phil in 1968.

Barefoot at the time, she crashed out through the glass of a back door at the mansion, severely cutting her feet.

Does it need to be mentioned that she filed for divorce several days later?
