I really think Darlene Love is a reliable source on the question of whether Darlene Love ever worked with the Beach Boys. [1] Monicasdude 16:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The Blossoms provide the backing vocals on Sharon Marie's "Runaround Lover," a fabulous girl group number produced by Brian Wilson.

Sorry ... above post was by me: JimmyBoi2

If she was born in 1941 why is there a link to people born in 1938? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.217.166.84 (talk) 23:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Does Anyone have a problem with linking the Darlene Love External Links page to the famous SNL 2005 cartoon "Christmas for the Jews" (on Youtube)? Darlene Love's vocals are a direct reference and counterpoint to her "Christmas" from David Letterman 2005 that is also linked to YouTube. If there can be one there can be the other.

[edit] Please help improve this article

Ah, where to start (Wiki-weary sigh):

• The most important point — Darlene Love often sang uncredited with Phil Spector's stable of singers — gets lost in this mishmash. That's the story here: in fact, Love had to sue Spector for royalties and at one point was so broke she was cleaning houses in Los Angeles until producer Kenny Laguna engineered her comeback. So hang the story on this hook, and the rest will flow from there.

• The second paragraph about the Blossoms needs to be reworked/edited/deleted/moved (your call).

• This article lacks sources. Yes, you know and I know Darlene Love, like many soul/R&B singers, started singing in her church choir. But ya gotta cite a source for this and every other claim. You could start by doing research on allmusic.com.

Y'know (another weary sigh), I just logged by 5,000th edit on Wikipedia, and it's discouraging how many entries are in less-than-stellar shape. So thanks to whomever started this article, but no thanks for not including sources. Kinkyturnip (talk) 03:53, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
