Darlene Love on Tour
A singer of some of the biggest hits in the history of American popular music, Darlene Love can now claim to have a name that's as familiar as her voice. Her appearance in the Oscar-winning 2013 documentary 20 Feet From Stardom helped launch an extraordinary new phase in her five-decade career. Since the late 1950s, she has sung lead on hits such as the Crystals' "He's a Rebel" and "He's Sure the Boy I Love" and backup on classics like the Ronettes' "Baby, I Love You." Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys and Sam Cooke were just a few of the artists who benefited greatly from her power and versatility as a vocalist. Through the ‘80s and ‘90s, famous fans like Steven Van Zandt, Bette Midler and David Letterman would give Love more chances to take center stage. But it wasn't until the success of 20 Feet From Stardom that Love truly received the recognition she long deserved. Now a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Love and her nine-piece backing band show audiences all that she can do with energetic performances of songs from throughout her career.
Darlene Love in Concert
The woman originally known as Darlene Wright was a teenager in Los Angeles when she began her music career. She caught the ear of Phil Spector while singing in a girl group called the Blossoms and became a prominent singer in the producer's array of talents. Besides singing lead vocals on "He's a Rebel" and other hits by the Crystals, she'd be prominently featured in songs by fellow Spector acts the Ronettes. She also performed "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" on the iconic 1963 holiday album A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector. Her voice would appear on hits by artists as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Shelley Fabares.
After taking time to raise her family, she returned to music in the ‘80s. Highlights from this time include performing in the Broadway musical Leader of the Pack and joining U2 for the Irish band's 1987 version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)." Her career as an actress also took flight after she made the first of four appearances in the Lethal Weapon movie franchise.
In 2011, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Two years later, she gained wider recognition when she appeared in 20 Feet From Stardom, the Oscar-winning documentary about some of music's most underappreciated vocalists. The attention led to the 2015 release of Introducing Darlene Love, her very first solo album after nearly 50 years in music.

Darlene Love IS Christmas! She was on fire, singing classic rock songs from her illustrious career as well as her amazing holiday songs. Her band and back up singers are the best of the best. We brought guests to this year's show and they were Blown Away. Long May Darlene Rock!!
Darlene Love has a talent and a desire to share it that, every year, surpasses my expectations. Her show is a mix of 60s contemporary and gospel sounds. She relates to the audience like an old friend. Her Christmas show gets better each year. Like fine wine, she is more spectacular as each year passes. While not a holiday person, each year she sparks a glow of positive human feelings in me. I look forward to her coming to Red Bank every year. Truly an incredible voice for joy in a divided country!
Darlene can still bring down a house and she and her group are all together .. I hope she will be around another 83 years , lol Amazing !! I go every year to see her Christmas show . Gets you in the true Spirit of Christmas .
We have attended Darlene's Christmas show for about the last 20 years and they have all been great. Her band and back up singers are also wonderful. This year, at age 83, Darlene left it all out on the stage and her performance of "Marvelous", which is always a moving spiritual song, was the best I've ever seen her.
Fantastic show. Darlene Love was amazing. Count Basie is a wonderful venue. Had a great time.
Just saw Darlene at Count Basie in Red Bank. What an inceddible show, powerful voice and joy. She is anazing. Come back next year
Another incredible Darlene Love concert! I have been to dozens of concerts of all genres and this was the best I have ever attended. Ms. Love is in her early 80s and her voice is as strong as ever. Do not miss an opportunity to see Darlene Love love!
One of the best shows I’ve ever enjoyed. She is 82 and I am 76. Her music brought back cherished memories for me. Bruce Springstein’s surspise appearance helped to make the evening that much more memorable. She is appearing elsewhere in the NY vicinity and I urge you to try and catch her show.
