Darlene Love

Darlene Love is one of those voices I feel I knew long before I knew her name, which is exactly the injustice of her early career. As the engine of the Blossoms and Phil Spector's sessions, she sang hits credited to others, and that she clawed back her own recognition says everything about her resilience. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2011 felt overdue rather than generous. Her annual Christmas performances became a tradition for a reason. I find her story genuinely moving: a church-choir kid who outlasted the men who tried to erase her, and won.

Darlene Wright (born July 26, 1941[a]), known professionally as Darlene Love, is an American R&B and soul singer and actress. She was the lead singer of the girl group the Blossoms and also a solo recording artist. She began singing as a child with her local church choir. In 1962, she began recording with producer Phil Spector who renamed her Darlene Love.
