Darlene Love "Amazingly, Darlene Love, a superb vocalist, hasn't had much of a track record as a solo singer, at least not in terms of hits. Love was a founding member of the Blossoms in 1957. They did several sessions and were resident singers on the television show Shindig. Love sang lead vocals on "He's a Rebel," which was credited to the Crystals, and "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," which was issued as Bob B. Soxx and the Bluejeans..." >>>presented by All Music Guide |

 Darlene Love "One of Phil Spector's hand picked early '60's girl group singers, Darlene Love sang some lead vocals with the Crystals, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, and also had some hits under her own name. Darlene Wright was born July 26, 1941 in Los Angeles, California..." >>>presented by History of Rock |

| Darlene Love "But there was always one person I could never find. Her name was Darlene Love. Lord knows I looked for her. Everyone thought I was nuts. "What'd she do"? "Well, she had a couple of minor hits, but most of all she sang on hundreds of Big Hits, as a background singer'. "A background singer! Who cares"? "Yea well, maybe no one cares. But I bet she'd have some stories to tell". Darlene Love was one of The Blossoms. In the 60's and much of the 70's, if a record was made in LA, she likely sang on it. It was only later that I knew where to look to look for her on TV's Shindig and Tammi. Most of what I knew about her was rumour. The "stars" I interviewed often mentioned her. "What a Voice"! "If you find Darlene say hello for me". Elvis, Aretha, Cher, most of The Bobbys and a lot of The Johnnys spoke of her in "awe". And most everyone mentioned her work with Phil Spector, who produced a couple of singles with her that used her name." >>>presented by Warren Cosford |

 Darlene Love Official Web Site '"Darlene Love's thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the history of Rock-and-Roll as Eric Clapton's guitar or Bob Dylan's lyrics." *New York Times. The press has also said "Darlene Love and Tina Turner are two of the hardest-working women in show business." Loved and respected by her peers: "Darlene is one of the most talented artists I've ever known." *Cher. "Darlene Love remains, even after all these years, one of the greatest voices in all of pop music. The thrill of listening to her live has not diminished one iota, and whenever I get the chance to hear her work, I run! A great interpreter, flawless intonation, she is as musical as it gets. I love, Love!" *Bette Midler. "When it comes to Darlene Love, I'm as much a fan as I am a peer." *Luther Vandross. "As a performer, Darlene was, and is, one of the best kept secrets in the history of the music industry. And, as a person, Darlene is one of the most tenacious individuals I've ever known. Even though she has lost a few rounds in life, she won the fight!" *Sonny Bono.' >>>presented by DarleneLove.com |

| Darlene Love "Darlene returned to music in the early 1980's and to an appreciative audience she thought may have long forgotten her. In addition to singing the songs that made her famous she has re-explored her gospel roots on several recordings. And as if that wasn't enough, she also jumped into acting, playing Danny Glover's wife in all the LETHAL WEAPON movies and appearing on Broadway in GREASE and the Tony-nominated LEADER OF THE PACK." >>>presented by Mr. Bill's IRS Corner |
