It’s no wonder The New York Times raves: “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.” Through the years, Darlene Love continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her warm, gracious stage presence and sensational performances.
Since the early sixties, as part of Phil Spector’s wall of sound hit factory, this great lady has done it all…from major motion pictures like the highly successful Lethal Weapon series to Broadway hits like Hairspray and Grease. She even starred as herself in the Tony nominated Leader Of The Pack, credited as Broadway’s first ‘jukebox musical.’ Darlene has appeared on numerous television programs, running the gamut from her weekly appearances on Shindig to a recent guest spot on the PBS special entitled Women Who Rock. An autobiographical film is currently on the drawing board and another recent film that prominently features Darlene landed a distribution deal at the Sundance Festival. The film will have a preview showing at Lincoln Center in NY before opening nationally in early June 2013. In conjunction with the opening, Darlene will be in the limelight as guest on many national TV guest spots including The Today Show, Good Morning America, David Letterman on Late Night, Charlie Rose and many more. Rolling Stone Magazine has prepared a four page spread in their June , 2013 issue and she will guest on the the New York Times studio broadcast with numerious newspaper and radio interviews already set.
Darlene’s background vocals for The Blossoms, The Crystals, The Righteous Brothers, Dionne Warwick, Marvin Gaye, and Elvis Presley (to name but a few) set the stage for her emergence as a star in her own right which is documented in her film role of Twenty Feet from Stardom. Her Billboard hits include: He’s A Rebel, The Boy I’m Gonna Marry, Da Doo Ron Ron, Wait ‘Til My Bobby Gets Home, He’s Sure the Boy I Love and the #1 holiday classic Christmas Baby Please Come Home, a song that she performs annually with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Symphony Orchestra on The Late Show With David Letterman (December marks her 28th Holiday appearance).
In 2011, Darlene Love received her industry’s highest award when Better Midler, a great fan, inducted her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. During the celebration, the two ladies enjoyed performing
“He’s A Rebel” together. Darlene also sang “He’s A Fine, Fine Boy” backed by another distinguished fan, Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Garden.
