Ronnie Evans, comic MC for the Shirelles during the 60s/70s and later for Shirley Alston Reeves (former lead singer of the Shirelles) passed away in June. I cannot recall the exact date but when I spoke to Shirley on her birthday, June 10th, he was on life support at a hospital in Brooklyn. Anyone who saw the Shirelles perform loved Ronnie's introduction. He's also introducing them in the rock & roll classic film "Let The Good Times Roll" from the early '70s. RIP Mr. Ronnie Evans! |
