- John Bathke interviews Darlene Love for the arts and entertainment program, "ON THE SCENE." Love talks about Phil Spector shooting guns in his recording studio, her struggle to go from back up singer to headliner, and her induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. This interview received the national Gracie Award by the Alliance For Women in Media, presented in Beverly Hills, CA in May, 2012.
One of the very best female R&B singers of all time!!!! She is LEGEND!
She is totally deserving of being inducted into the R+R Hall of Fame. She has graced so many great records with her fabulous voice and, people have no idea how many of the great girl group records she vocalized on.
Period!
She is soooo humble and so down to earth! Such an amazing artist and amazing soul!
You DESERVE any award you get Miss Love...I've admired you forever and you will forever be one of my favs!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Darlene, Phil Spector took advantage of so many in those days. Anyone who listened to AM radio and all the tunes in the early 60's will know that beautiful voice of yours in any song.
You were and still are awesome!!!
I listen to all your CZcams songs you sang I can find weekly.
You are awesome and so much talent and joy you have provided me and others in almost 60 years of listening to that beautiful voice of yours. You Rock!
You are in my Rock n Roll Heart of Fame and so many others during your musical career.
So glad she is getting the credit she deserves! Re her maid work: you just never know what someone is going through.
Darlene has such a beautiful voice. 😍
Darlene was already a 'solo' artist in 1963, with actual Top 40 hits like "Today I Met The Boy I'm Gonna Marry", and others under her own name. In any case, she's so deserving to be finally inducted and honored for all her work.
You so deserve this award....just glad it came when you could see it.....
You're so beautiful from the inside out Ms.Love....and you have a name that best describes you. You def deserve to be in the Hall of Fame!!!!!
Darlene Love; Arlene Smith of the Chantels , the Shirelles; and Ronnie Specter of the Ronettes introduced me- and my 13 year old girlfriends - to this torchey, gospel- laced singing, dancing, heartbreaking, in your gut female power vocals that became more than a backdrop- in those formative years! I still sing - unabashedly- whenever I hear Darlene. I don't care where I am or what I'm doing. If she's singing, I'm wailing right along with her. She makes the world a JOYFUL place; a SOULFUL place. "Love is surely Gospel": Laura Nyro! Her voice helped lay the foundation of music that helped build the Hall of Fame. Well done...
Beautiful Lady, Singer......Saw her little over a yr ago!
Amazing Performance!!!
I love her voice. One of my favourite singers
And so deserved beautiful lady I love you and your music ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
"Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" (from Disney's "Song of the South") - have this on a CD collection and now know this lovely lady was featured on the recording. Love the Crystals. Glad for Darlene's eventual solo success; and congratulations on entering the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. BTW she looks as great on the outside as she appears to be inside. This interview brought warmth and happiness to my heart. 5/2019
We love you, Darlene Love!
She may be almost 70 but she looks great and is still quite the charming sweetheart! Way to go Darlene you are awesome whenever I think of Darlene Love its her boisterous joyous wooooo in that Shinding episode with Glen Campbell, the Ronettes etc. All of this I only recently discovered via the Supremes to the Ronettes then Darlene Love’s great voice. Thank God for CZcams music.
I love her for many reasons. Such a wonderful Singer

Yes ma'am! You did it!👏🏻⚘️
Darlene is THE BEST...OF THE BEST.
God shes beautiful and humble
Oh my daysssss I love this woman. I cannot believe she’s the wife in the lethal weapon movies. Hats off to you my lovely. I’m so glad you followed your dreams
Wonderful.
Should have been recognised way before, wonderful artist ❤❤❤
Love you Darlene!
Darlene Love-------is a star of stars ! ---------She can be seen as one of The Blossoms, on The TAMI show.-------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
An amazing voice
Darlene has one of the finest voices we'll ever hear. Today I Met The Boy I'm Gonna Marry, I'm Gonna Wait Til My Bobby Gets Home and He's A Rebel are three of my all time favourite songs. She's a legend (and a rebel 😉)
her looks and voice probably helped with the stars accepting her as their peer
Wow that was great!
So glad to know she FINALLY got the recognition she deserved!!!!
How appropriate she got in the same year as Leon Russell who played on a lot of her records!
Wonderful, informative interview. It's so interesting to know Spector both launched Darlene's career but also greatly inhibited it. I can only dream of the heights Darlene could have achieved if only Spector had promoted her properly. She has such a dynamic, beautiful voice. If only.....
Wow no words can describe her keep beyonce Taylor swift etc they're cookie cutter singers Darlene love is a timeless classic like my 65 impala !!!
at first, I wondered "why is she getting that emotional about her induction into the HoF?"...and then it hit me. First of all, she should've been inducted YEARS AGO...Hell, maybe even decades ago. But second to that, when year after year goes by (she said she was 70), and you watch friends and acquaintances you knew from the old 'chitlun circuit' make it in there...you've gotta be sitting there thinking "wait just a goddamn minute!...I know damn well, i deserve to be in there if so and so, is in there!". But above all that, her talent and body of work, alone, is worth an induction.
Well deserved. What a fantastic lady.
This is one singing sista!
No human is a Star...🌃 Stars are in the Heavens!! 🌌
The only thing I don't like is how she takes the credit for Da Doo Ron Ron. That is Lala's voice on that record. I recently watched an interview with Lala and she said herself that only recently Darlene started to admit it wasn't her song. It took her that long. He's A Rebel was The Blossoms and Da Doo Ron Ron was The Crystals.
hempelchamp and what is it that you disagree with? I stated information that's been official for years and haven't stated any opinions.
From her book, "My Name Is Love", Darlene states she sang lead with the Blossoms, Fanita James & Gloria King, as back-up on both "He's a Rebel" & "He's Sure the Boy I Love". La La Brooks is definitely on lead on "Da Doo Ron Ron".
Richie R Love actually recorded “Da Doo Ron Ron” but it was left unfinished & unreleased. A previously unreleased take of “Chapel of Love” did surface on the 1990 boxed set. She includes “Da Doo”...in her shows but doesn’t explain its history.
Sounds as though Phil Spector should have been "put away" years before they actually locked his crazy a-- up!!
