Singer Darlene Love has lent her voice to literally hundreds of recordings over the years. We've assembled a list of some of her "Greatest Hits"
"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - Darlene Love - One of Darlene's greatest moments. A stone-cold holiday classic from Phil Spector's A Christmas Gift to You. You can close your eyes and feel the snow falling on you.
"He's a Rebel" - credited to the Crystals, but it's actually Darlene on lead vocals. Her first #1 hit.
"Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah - Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans - Darlene sings on this Disney classic turned inside-out. Extra points for Billy Strange's guitar solo that sounds like it's coming from another planet.
"(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" - Darlene Love - One of the few Spector tracks to actually sport Miss D's name. Darlene reaches back to her days in the gospel choir for a gutty performance. Imagine her preaching to the congregation about her good news.
"The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" - Betty Everett - Darlene and the Blossoms do the question-asking, like "Is it in his eyes"? sharing the lead vocalis with Betty. The vocal ascending that they do when Betty sings "Kiss him / and squeeze him tight" will send shivers.
"Poor Side of Town" - Johnny Rivers - Darlene & the Blossoms show off their gentler side as they echo Johnny's verses with sweet sophistication.
"The Right Time" - Bobby Darin - Darlene duets with Bobby on this under-appreciated cut from a lost Darin LP called Bobby Darin Sings Ray Charles
"Brown-Eyed Woman" - Bill Medley - The deep-voiced half of the Righteous Brothers testifies his love for Darlene, while she and her sisters turn up the heat.
"Basketball Jones - Cheech and Chong - Showing that she truly is one of the most versatile of vocalists, Darlene lends her talents to C&C's parody of the Brighter Side of Darkness "Love Jones."
