  • No one has traveled through the last 50 years of popular music with more grace and spirit than Darlene Love. From singing backup for the Righteous Brothers, Sam Cooke, and Elvis to lead singer for The Blossoms, her amazing career received another boost last year when she was featured in the Oscar-winning documentary "20 Feet from Stardom." Join her for a rich, wonderful evening of conversation and stories-and a special live performance.

    Darlene's memory is a little fuzzy. 'He's A Rebel' was not from the fifties - it was recorded in 1962. The original recording was by Vicki Carr, not Linda Carr.
    I met her on the set of a Lethal Weapon movie years ago and she was delightful.

    I’m a fan of Darlene, but I wish she’d make up her mind about what happened with the recording of “He’s a Rebel.” In most versions of this story, she says The Crystals were touring on the east coast and couldn’t record it. Another time she said she went to New York to record the song. In this interview, she says The Crystals were too young to travel to L.A. to record the song. Which is it, Darlene?

    • @wildsmiley
      @wildsmiley 4 года назад +6

      I don't have much of a problem with her mixing up the facts. She's in her 70s now and 1962 was a very long time ago. I'm a huge Brian Wilson fan and he mixes some things up too and he's about the same age asDarlene. I imagine when I'm like 75 I'll mix up a lot of things from when I was 21. In all likelihood it was recorded in LA since the Blossoms were an LA group. It could've been recorded in New York because the Blossoms were old enough to go unlike the Crystals.

    Notice she didn't say she reached out to Cher for financial help. To me that means she either reached out to her and got turned down or knew Cher would turn her down and didn't bother.

      You're wrong . I've seen her in concert many times over the years, and she always introduces her backup singers. She even brings them forward to sing with her and lets them sing solo also.
