Is This What I Get For Loving You?
"Is This What I Get For Loving You?" is a pop song written by Phil Spector, Carole King and Gerry Goffin and recorded by 1960s girl group The Ronettes. The song featured Ronettes lead singer Ronnie Spector on lead vocals (credited as Veronica), and Ronettes Nedra Talley and Estelle Bennett on backing vocals.
Released on Philles Records, reaching No. 75 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1965.
The Ronettes
Following the successful release of "Walking in the Rain", Philles Records released the group's first studio album, "Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica", in late 1964. The album proved to be slightly successful, peaking at number 96 on the "Billboard" charts, but it is notable for being the first evidence of Phil Spector publicly promoting lead singer Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett over Estelle Bennett and Nedra Talley. Every Ronettes single after this referred to the group as "The Ronettes featuring Veronica" on the record labels.
