Well, what a great honor to be here.
Congratulations to Laura Whitmore and the she rocks awards five years
It's amazing been watching backstage seeing all these incredible women
Obviously not a surprise
My career was really started by an amazing woman
Who was my mom child prodigy pianist and a music educator and then you know having the great fortune to work with?
Yoko Ono on the John Lennon bus
We've arrived here today at the start of our 20th year
And if you haven't seen the Lennon bus you should come out and see you tomorrow or on Sunday
We're a nonprofit dedicated to providing young people with free hands-on opportunities to create original music and video projects
Digital media of all kinds and of course to remind them and everybody to imagine peace
I'm gonna bring Jamie Walden out right now
Who's been working on this project with me for the last 10 years over the last day?
We've had this great great fortune to be working with the legendary Ronnie Spector
Who you're going to get to meet in a moment?
She worked with students on board the Lennon bus today really
incredibly inspiring
Especially given her history and the story of her life
There's really nobody that's better to launch our 20th year in many ways because she was a great friend to John Lennon's
So here's Jamie who is really a huge part of the Lennon bus organization
Talk to us Jamie.
What's going on?
Tell us about Ronnie a little bit
Hi
As the founder and lead singer of the pioneering female vocal group the Ronettes in the 1960s the ultimate girl group
Ronnie Spector is one of few artists in history who have been capable of defining an entire era in pop music
With a string of classic hits powerful poignant teen anthems like the Grammy Award-winning walking in the rain, baby
I love you and the international number one smash be my baby
Ronnie Spector embodied the heart soul and passion of female rock and roll
Creating records that are among the best loved and most emulated recordings in history
Collaborating with the likes of Jimi Hendrix the Beatles Bruce Springsteen and the East Street Band and Eddie money
Spector has led a long music career leading to her induction into the vocal group Hall of Fame in
2004 and the rock and roll Hall of Fame in 2007 ladies and gentlemen recipient of the
2017 she rocks legend award Ronnie Spector

[A] [N] I'd like to give a big thanks
Thank you to the women's international music network for this honor
The she rock awards, well, that's what I live for to rock I
Also would like to thank the John Lennon educational bus we had a ball today
For their support in making this happen
Starting out in Spanish Harlem.
All I wanted to do was sing and I wanted to sing rock and roll.
I
Made my first record in 1961
So they always asked me what do you want to tell people who are just getting started in the business?
Oh boy
To every girl out there or anyone
Never stop believing in your dreams
Be yourself
Don't be anyone else it's very important
Be different I said that I
Always said I'm not better.
I'm just different if you don't love it.
Don't do it
It will break your heart.
That's true
Rock and roll is a disease.
I had my whole life
And the only cure for me is getting on that stage like this one be my little baby
I
Can't help it I
Every time I'm up here.
I still love it.
I love it so much
I love all the women out there and I want to encourage all the women to keep going You know
I always tell people sometimes if you don't if you can't be a superstar like if you can't be a astronaut be a pilot
You know don't dream so big that you can't get there
Dream about what you love, you know
And most of all never ever give up control of your life
not to you
Thank you.
