Nedra Talley, now Nedra Talley Ross (born January 27, 1946,New York), was a member of the girl group The Ronettes, along with her cousins Ronnie Spector and Estelle Bennett. She is of African-American, Native American and Puerto Rican descents. In 2007, the Ronettes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 1966, Talley and Estelle Bennett left the Ronettes, reportedly due in part to interference from Ronnie Spector's then husband and group producer Phil Spector. She is married to Scott Ross, a former DJ, turned interviewer for The 700 Club on the Christian Broadcasting Network, and they have four children.
She also recorded a solo album, Full Circle in 1978.
