1965: The Ronettes Release ‘Is This What I Get For Loving You’

In April 1965, The Ronettes release “Is This What I Get For Loving You,” one of the most powerful productions released by the group during the 1960s. The percussion breaks behind Ronnie Spector’s vocal are especially intense. This record was cut between massive productions for The Righteous Brothers and building toward the following years’ signature breakthroughs by Phil Spector for Ike & Tina Turner.
