Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles
when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning
girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Spector. Soon
thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound,
and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and
the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of
the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series
SHINDIG, and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and
back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom
Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher. Darlene then put background
singing to the side in order to pursue a solo career and when she did, even
greater things began to happen. She has received great national press exposure,
including a feature in PEOPLE magazine, a CNN television documentary on her
life, and bookings on numerous national television programs, including TODAY,
Rosie O'Donnell, Maury Povich, Politically Incorrect, Donny & Marie and the
Oprah Winfrey show.
Darlene is also enjoying the success of her Christmas album “it’s Christmas Of
Course” On Shout Factory! Now available. Darlene is always busy with her
touring schedule. Her faith in God and her absolute, inexhaustible energy and
spirit gives her everything she needs to PRESSON!
