About Darlene Love
Love was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 by Bette Midler, and that night she sang “He’s a Fine, Fine Boy” backed by Bruce Springsteen. Her Billboard hits include “He’s a Rebel,” “The Boy I’m Gonna Marry” and “Wait ‘Til My Bobby Gets Home.” She also starred in the Oscar winning film Twenty Feet From Stardom, whose soundtrack went on to win a Grammy. Learn more on her official website.
A Holiday Tradition
For some 29 years, Love performed “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” every year with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Symphony Orchestra on David Letterman’s late night show, until Letterman retired. She keeps that tradition going with special Christmas shows each year, and this Morristown date is one of them.
