"You Came, You Saw, You Conquered" by The Ronettes

The Ronettes took their name from the featured vocalist, Veronica Bennett, who soon became Ronnie Spector after marrying the famed producer Phil Spector in 1968. She was joined by her sister and cousin to round out the group.

The Ronettes scored their biggest hit right out of the box in 1963 when "Be My Baby" peaked at #2 for three weeks. The classic refrain saw Ronnie Spector being invited to contribute to Eddie Money's comeback hit, "Take Me Home Tonight," which went to #4 in 1986.

The Ronettes never saw that sort of success again, but managed to land several other Top 40 hits through the 60s like "Baby, I Love You" (#24), "(The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up" (#39), "Do I Love You?" (#34), and "Walking In The Rain" (#23). 1970 saw Ronnie Spector leaving the group to start a solo career.

"You Came, You Saw, You Conquered" seemed like a hit in the making but it bubbled under the chart in 1969 as the group ran out of gas. The Ronettes would reappear on the chart decades later in 2018 thanks to their rendition of "Sleigh Ride" during the holiday season.

"All Grown Up" by The Crystals

The Crystals were Phil Spector's other best known girl group of the 60s to take his "wall of sound" to the top of the charts (the other famous girl group he worked with was The Ronettes).

The Crystals hit it big with the Gene Pitney tune, "He's A Rebel". It was #1 for two weeks in 1962. Their other big ones included "Da Doo Run Run (When He Walked Me Home)", which hit #3, and "Then He Kissed Me", which reached #6.

"All Grown Up" is another upbeat number from their catalogue, but by 1964 The Crystals lost their shine. It would be their final chart appearance, barely cracking in at #98.
