Interesting read and I agree.

I noticed folks have almost never called Tina Turner a rock and roll pioneer either [[but quick to call Ike one because he wrote "Rocket 88", which is really just a simple blues tune that predated it) and she definitely was the beginning of that too. But I agree with this about the Ronettes [[as well as the Shangri-Las).
