Wikipedia, July 22, 2013 (Darlene Love (née Wright); born July 26, 1941 in Hawthorne, Calif.; American popular music singer and actress. While still in high school (1959) she was invited to join a little-known girl group called The Blossoms, who in 1962 began working with producer Phil Spector. With her powerful voice she was soon a highly sought-after vocalist, and managed to work with many of the legends of 1950s and 1960s rock and soul. She gained prominence in the 1960s for the song "He's a Rebel"; "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" is a song by Darlene Love from the 1963 holiday compilation album, A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector and has become a big success over time and one of Love's signature tunes)
