Darlene Love Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Darlene Love is one of the legends of popular music. Born Darlene Wright, and raised in
Los Angeles, California, USA, she began her singing with her local church choir. While still in high school she was invited to join a little-know girl group called The Blossoms who soon began recording for the legendary
Phil Spector. With her powerful voice she was soon a highly sought after vocalist and managed to work with many of the legends of 1950s and '60s rock and soul, such as
Sam Cooke,
Dionne Warwick,
The Beach Boys,
Elvis Presley, and
Sonny and Cher. With The Blossoms she sang lead vocals on some of the biggest hits of the 60s, including "Da Doo Ron Ron", "He's Sure The Boy I Love", and "Today I Met The Boy I'm Gonna Marry". The Blossoms landed a weekly part on
Shindig, one of the top music shows of the era. Into the '70s Darlene continued to work as back-up singer, before taking a break in order to raise a family. She returned to music in the early 1980s 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. She also began an acting career, playing
Danny Glover's wife in all the
Lethal Weapon movies, and appearing on
Broadway in
Grease, the Tony-nominated
Leader of the Pack, and the short-lived musical adaptation of
Stephen King's
Carrie.
