Darlene Love is one of the legends of music. "Her thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the history of Rock-and-Roll as Eric Clapton's guitar or Bob Dylan's lyrics", according to the New York Times. The press has also called her, along with Tina Turner, "one of the two hardest working women in show business"

Bette Midler stated "Darlene Love remains, even after all these years, one of the greatest voices in all of pop music. The thrill of listening to her live has not diminished one iota, and whenever I get the chance to hear her work, I run. A great interpreter, flawless intonation, she is as musical as it gets. I love, Love."

Darlene Love is currently appearing as Motormouth Maybelle in the Broadway cast of "Hairspray". She has also lighted up Broadway in such musicals as "Grease" and the Tony award nominated "Leader of the Pack". On film, she portrayed Danny Glover's wife in all of the "Lethal Weapon" series.

From her number one recording "He's a Rebel", through her string of label hits with legendary producer Phil Spector, including "Da Doo Ron Ron", "He's Sure The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" and "Christmas Baby Please Come Home" to the countless songs she sang backup on for artists like Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick, Cher and Aretha Franklin, Darlene is still blazing a trail of success in the music industry and has been nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her latest abums are "Age of Miracles" recorded live in New York City and her first gospel album, "Unconditional Love" released by Harmony records.

Darlene was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeioning girl group called "The Blossoms", who began recording for Phil Spector. Soon thereafter, other artist like Sam Cooke were attracted to the 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. Thru the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and backup such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher. She then put background singing to the side in order to pursue a solo career. 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.

And now, IBM and other Fortune 500 corporations are discovering Darlene's electrifying effect at their corporate events. Bringing all of her hits to life, she and her band deliver an evening of musical memories and exciting new material that is guaranteed to turn any event into an unforgettable affair.
