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 Clapton's guitar and Bob Dylan's 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 "He's a Rebel," "Da Doo Ron Ron," and "He's Sure the
Boy I Love." As part of the girl group the Blossoms, she held a
regular spot on television's Shindig , and with Bob B. Soxx &
the Blue Jeans she toured the country.
Later, she sang backup--and collected numerous scintillating
backstage stories--with, 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 Jones's 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.
