		Darlene articulates well, with a noticeable trace of "buttery fl" in her voice.
		(Darlene's singing today is more aggressive and more capable of handling variations in the song than it was 30 years ago, but perhaps huskier - and she no longer says "strownng" in describing the boy she loves.
		Poignant items include her love affair with Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers, during which he was surprised at the discrimination they encountered as a mixed-color couple.

		It seems only natural that Darlene Love — best known for her string of sixties hits and as the voice of the "Girl Group" sound — should join the cast of Hairspray, which is set in the sixties (1962 Baltimore to be exact) and whose rousing score was inspired by the sounds of that era.
		Love: I think it's a little harder today than it was when I was coming up because they don't have the record companies — they're not as powerful anymore as they used to be.
		Love: Well, the first contract is six months, and then they want me there, they say, for "the long run," so it could be a year, it could be two years.

	Blogcritics.org: Darlene Love and Freda Payne Live
		Darlene Love and Freda Payne are prime examples of rhythm-and-blues singers who are considerably more complex than the sound of the vintage hit singles that typecast them vocally on the nostalgia hit parade.
		Love's whooping gospel shout, with its raw-silk vibrato, propelled several Phil Spector girl-group anthems of the early 1960's, and 40 years later, she projects the same blunt, sky's-the-limit optimism.
		Love takes a song that invites mawkish self-dramatization and tackles it head on, ripping away the mewling self-pity that traditionally accrues to its expression of fear of intimacy and replacing it with a directness that turns a confession of weakness into an assertion of strength.

	Darlene Love, Q&A: Broadway.com Buzz
		When Darlene Love stops the second act of Hairspray with the rafter-raising fl civil rights anthem, 'I Know Where I've Been,' she ain't kidding.
		Indeed, it is Love's legacy as a bona fide pop star of the '60s which she carries in her soul that lends the Tony Award-winning musical (set in 1962) a tangible sense of African-American context, continuity, and glittering (if troubled) show biz lore.
		Despite her early success, however, cruel career twists pushed Love into the stall of back-up singers, as is detailed in her 1998 autobiography My Name is Love.

		STILL KEEPING ON Darlene Love has always had a song in her heart, gracing sixties hits like "He's a Rebel" and "Today I Met the Boy I'm Gonna Marry." Three decades later the 57-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee still has plenty to sing about.
		Last year she released Unconditional Love (Harmony Records), an album of gospel standards and original songs, and a critically acclaimed autobiography, My Name Is Love (William Morrow & Co.)--which chronicles her 40-year career.
		For all her success, however, in the early eighties the singer was without a steady gig, so she took a job cleaning houses.

		In a world where directors' cuts of films and multi-box CD sets are the norm, it's no wonder that Angel Records has decided to release Bernadette Peters: Sondheim, Etc., Etc., a 12-track disc of songs from the star's famed Carnegie Hall concert that were omitted from her previous Sondheim, Etc. album.
		Darlene Love is blonde and beautiful, but not big -- and that was a big reason why she didn't get the first shot at playing record shop owner Motormouth Maybelle in Hairspray, the role that she recently took over from Mary Bond Davis.

		It turns out, as has all-too-often been the case with early rockers, Love was forced to sue Spector for her money.
		So strong was Darlene Love’s voice that Spector eventually released her recordings as solo efforts starting with “(Today I Met) The Boy I’m Gonna Marry.” Other hits included “Chapel of Love,” “A Fine, Fine Boy” and “Wait Til My Bobby Gets Home.”
		Of those days in the studio with the legendary Spector, Love says it wasn’t as laborious, nor was he as iron-fisted as portrayed.
