Born Darlene Wright in Los Angeles in 1938, she began her career as lead singer with the vocal trio, The Blossoms. After a spell as regulars on ABC TV's variety show Shindig! (1964) in the early 60s, the trio went on to sing backup on a variety of Elvis Presley recordings, and even backed him on his 1968 NBC-TV special Elvis: The Comeback Special (1968). For a while, they backed Tom Jones during some of his Las Vegas shows. The Blossoms have the rare distinction of recording a number one hit without ever receiving any credit. Years before the advent of Milli Vanilli, Darlene Love, Fanita James and Gracie Nitzsche sang vocals on the Gene Pitney-penned song "He's a Rebel" that was championed as The Crystals' first (and only) No. 1 US hit. Because of confounding logistics, record producer Phil Spector had to use The Blossoms because The Crystals were on the wrong coast of the US at the time. And since he was up against the clock in L.A. attempting to get his production on the airwaves before the Vikki Carr version, he had no choice. Love also sang vocals on the Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans top twenty hit "Zip-a-Dee Doo Dah".

她于1938年出生于洛杉矶的达琳·赖特（Darlene Wright），她的职业生涯始于声乐三重奏The Blossoms的主唱。在成为 ABC 电视台综艺节目 Shindig 的常客之后！（1964） 在 60 年代初期，三人组继续在各种猫王唱片中演唱伴唱，甚至在他 1968 年的 NBC-TV 特别节目《猫王：复出特辑》（1968 年）中支持他。有一段时间，他们在汤姆·琼斯（Tom Jones）在拉斯维加斯的一些演出中支持他。The Blossoms 有一个罕见的区别，那就是在没有获得任何荣誉的情况下录制了一首热门歌曲。在 Milli Vanilli 问世前几年，Darlene Love、Fanita James 和 Gracie Nitzsche 演唱了 Gene Pitney 创作的歌曲“He's a Rebel”，这首歌被誉为 The Crystals 的第一首（也是唯一一首）美国第一首热门歌曲。由于物流混乱，唱片制作人菲尔·斯佩克特（Phil Spector）不得不使用The Blossoms，因为The Crystals当时在美国的错误海岸。由于他在洛杉矶争分夺秒地试图在 Vikki Carr 版本之前将他的作品播出，他别无选择。Love 还在 Bob B. Soxx 和 Blue Jeans 的前 20 名热门歌曲“Zip-a-Dee Doo Dah”中演唱。
