Heads up - Letterman will have Darlene Love on tonight.

[Stinky The Clown]

She's been one hell of guest every year. She brings the house down.

Here's last year's performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJcYUj89JiU

1. My favorite to date is the 1995 performance:

They're ALL worth watching, but this one really tore the roof off...even more than usual. She looked and sounded GREAT.

Thanks for the heads up about tonight. I'll have to catch it on the Web tomorrow.

11. Wow!. I saw Darlene's one woman show.

Early 90s(?), "Darlene Love: Portrait of a Woman" at The Bottom Line in New York City.

She sang and talked about her life, which was pretty rough. She was brutalized by the music business, particularly (could you believe?) Phil Spector. She wasn't allowed to use her own name.

Oh yes, it was a great show.

19. To paraphrase a great Fran Drescher line in the movie "Hollywood Knights"...

Darlene Love has more talent in her little pinky than Beyonce and Rihanna have in their whole...Pinky!

(You had to have seen the movie...trust me, it works).

:rofl:

YouTube now has her FIRST Letterman performance of the song, from 1986:
