In 2007, the Ronettes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 1967, Talley and Estelle Bennett left the Ronettes, reportedly due in part to interference from the group's producer and later, Ronnie's husband, Phil Spector.

Talley has stated that at the time of meeting Scott Ross, her future husband, she became a born again Christian. Talley felt that, at that time, there was little place for Christian inspired music, and that played a part in the decision to leave the group.

In 1977, Talley recorded several Christian songs written by her church's music director, Ted Sandquist.

These came out on the album The Courts of the King: The Worship Music of Ted
