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.

The show was upbeat and festive. There was a New York vibe in the best of ways. Such a magnificent bonus having Bruce come onstage to present Darlene with the Platinum Disk. I was with a great friend experiencing her first Manhattan Christmas so that made it all extra special & memorable. If only I look that hood at 82 - long live Love.
So wonderful to be able to see Ms. Love perform again. She is a tremendous talent supported by a phenomenal band and back up singers.
Darlene Love at Town Hall was off the charts…she has on of the greatest voices in Rock & Roll! Great catalog of songs including the best Christmas Song of all time BABY PLEASE COME HOME! Bruce Springsteen came out as a surprise and presented her with a platinum record for the song! Seats were front row center! Just agree and memorable show!!
Absolutely fabulous show. Third time seeing Darlene....she NEVER disappoints.
Darlene Love and her band put on a most excellent performance. I had great seats in the orchestra which made the performance that much more enjoyable. Darlene Love really rocks it, especially for an 82 year old! Thank you Darlene and Town Hall.
So much fun seeing Darlene! She has an amazing voice and obviously loves sharing her gift! So impressive! The music was a great combination of oldies, Xmas with some incredible gospel.
Drop everything, run, get your tickets for this amazing woman. What a voice, with emotion of songs I have loved for years. Even Bruce Springsteen walking on stage did not surpass the brilliance of Darlene Love. Thank you beautiful woman.
As always Darlene Love, her back up singers and band were fantastic.
Excellent show by a real professional. Voice is outstanding.
Darlene Love brought on all the LOVE! She’s a ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE!!! The Band Members are EVERYTHING! The Singers AMAZING!
Second time I've seen Darlene's show. So full of energy and she can hold a note...... Added bonus was the surprise appearance of Bruce Springsteen, who presented her with Platinum record for Baby please come home! A great show to put you in the Christmas spirit.
It was one the best shows I ever saw !! Darlene is amazing and the theater nice and small …. Her voice actions and stories are amazing ! I always liked her music but never saw her perform and I was blown away
I’ve been following Darlene Love for years on end. Her powerful performances are a must-see for anyone, any age. In each of her shows it is always clear that she thoroughly enjoys performing her very best for her audience. Her shows will keep you singing, clapping and totally engaged. Cannot wait for the next show!!!
Darlene Love gave an excellent performance. She's the best and it was a really fun show!
Darlene Love's voice is like fine wine, it gets better with age. Her show was stellar and I can't wait to see her in 2023. There is only one word to describe her performance and that is AMAZING. She certainly knows how to start off the holiday season.
Darlenes performance was stellar.. Her voice and energy level are incredible. By the way she is 81. You would not believe it. This was her Christmas show. She sings an array of holiday tunes.AND also her hits we grew up with.. When you hear "Hes A Rebel" "Da doo ron Ron"."Today I Met the Boy im gonna marry"..'there will be a guaranteed smile on your face...my only disappointment..i didnt want the show to end...
She still sounds like she did on Phil Spector’s Christmas album. Really entertaining evening and a wonderful concert to see at Christmas time. Darlene Love is a National Treasure.
She is Christmas. What an engaging performance. Her voice and stories had me smiling all night and also for days later.
Darlene Love was fabulous! Her voice is so beautiful and powerful. You can tell that she loves performing for her fans. You can also feel her warmth and spirituality. It was a fantastic experience and I hope that I get the opportunity to see Darlene again.
We have seen Darlene Love’s Christmas show many times, without a doubt this last show was one of her very best. Everyone on that stage gave it their all and the entire audience knew it. She was terrific.
