Darlene Love was on Sherri Shepherd’s show today, and the singer told some stories about her life.
Did you know that between her time with the Crystals and singing Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), she cleaned houses to pay the bills? However, she only did that for a few months because her Christmas single changed her life forever.
Then, she had several hits on her own and with The Blossoms. So much so that she starred in the movie Change of Habit with Elvis Presley after they shot his ’68 Comeback Special.
Love says that he was enamored with her; he wanted her to be the first African-American woman he slept with. But she decided not to have a hunka hunka burnin’ love with him.
Depending on who you ask, she made the right choice…
