Featured in the film Twenty Feet From Stardom, the woman whose voice the New York Times said is as embedded in the history of rock n roll as Eric Claptons guitar and Bob Dylans lyrics tells her story
Right out of high school, Darlene Love began singing lead vocals for legendary producer Phil Spector, cutting such classic hits as the number one Hes a Rebel, Da Doo Ron Ron, and Hes Sure the Boy I Love. As part of the girl group the Blossoms, she held a regular spot on televisions Shindig!, and with Bob B. Soxx the Blue Jeans she toured the country.
Later, she sang backupand collected numerous scintillating backstage storieswith, among others, Dionne Warwick, the Mamas and the Papas, and Sonny and Cher. Now in My Name Is Love, Darlene is ready to tell her tales about Elvis coming on to her backstage during his famous 68 Comeback Special, about wild parties she witnessed at Tom Joness house, and about her love affair with Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers. She also recalls how she found herself cleaning houses in Beverly Hills, heard herself on the radio, and vowed to make a comeback. That comeback has included roles in all of the Lethal Weapon movies, starring roles on Broadway, and headlining concert appearances worldwide.
A dishy, behind-the-scenes showbiz memoir, My Name Is Love is also the inspiring story of a woman who refused to give up.
