Happy 84th birthday to Ms. Darlene Love - one of the greatest vocalists of the past 84 years.
Ms. Love was maybe *the* voice that came out of Phil Spector's studio/ Philles Records - and a colossal force in American music, often when people had no idea whose voice that was on a record. She performed her own solo work, that of The Crystals, the Blossoms, The Ronettes, and performed with everyone from Elvis to Boris Pickett on The Monster Mash.
She's been in movies - she's Glover's wife in Lethal Weapon - and been on Broadway. Every year since the mid 1980's on Letterman she's been on TV singing Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and it's a highlight of the holidays.
Personally, I saw her Christmas show at Austin's Paramount Theater - and it was the greatest concert I've ever been to, and I'll stand by that one.
Happy birthday, Ms. Love.
So, here she is singing a favorite version of a favorite song
