Darlene Love Brings 'Love For The Holidays' to the Ridgefield Playhouse

After three past sold-out performances, Darlene Love returns with her band and the DL Singers to celebrate the Holiday season once again on Saturday, November 18 at 8pm as part of The Ridgefield Magazine Broadway and Cabaret Series partially underwritten by Adam Broderick Salon & Spa.

As one of the biggest voices of the 60s, Darlene Love lent her pipes to everyone from Dionne Warwick to The Beach Boys and featured on some of the decade's most unforgettable songs.

From her first No. 1 recording, "He's A Rebel," through her string of hits with the legendary "Wall of Sound" hit factory "Da Doo Ron Ron," "He's Sure The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" and "Christmas Baby Please Come Home"), to the countless songs she sang backup on, Darlene Love is still blazing a trail of success in the music industry. For tickets ($60), call or visit the box office, 203-438-5795 or go online at ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Ridgefield Playhouse is a non-profit performing arts center located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.

Love is in the air when Darlene Love returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse on November 18 to celebrate the holidays!

Love's five-decade career spans some of the greatest signature moments in music, with the Los Angeles native nurturing her talent early as a member of the Blossoms, a local trio who began providing backup vocals at recording sessions for artists such as Sam Cooke and Bobbie Day. The Blossoms also were featured as part of the house band for the popular '60s music show Shindig, backing up many of the performers who appeared on the series. Love would go on to become one of the most sought-after background singers in music history, recording with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, The Righteous Brothers, and dozens of other vocal giants throughout her career. Her early work with iconic producer Phil Spector on songs such as the pioneering "He's A Rebel," "He's Sure The Boy I Love," and "Why Do Lover's Break Each Other's Hearts," would garner her legend status. She is featured in the 2013 Academy Award winning documentary '20 Feet From Stardom,' chronicling the behind-the-scenes lives of background singers. The accompanying album won a 2014 Grammy in the Best Music Film category.
