When I was around 16 years old I found the baby book my mother kept for me and in the book were pages about my “first”, and my first song was “He’s A Rebel” by Darlene Love. Of course I did not remember this and when I asked my mother about the song she smiled and told me how she used to play it over and over and one day, when I was two, she came into my room to me singing the chorus of the song. I am still not sure if I believe my mother, but ever since then I have been a fan of Darlene Love.
I would not get to see Darlene Love until several decades later and it was worth the wait! Decades later and she still can bring down the house with her rock music! She is an amazing performer and while she is best known for rock she also does jazz and pop styles.
The concert was in a concert hall with an amazing band, small orchestra, and background singers that added to the show while Darlene was still the star! I can remember sitting in my seat moving to the sounds and glancing over to see many others doing the same. My mother, who had the seat next to me, had tears of joy in her eyes throughout the night and I can remember her saying how wonderful it was to finally see her idol in person.
True fans of early rock will enjoy watching Darlene Love perform and bring back the memories of early rock, as my mother would say, the rock after the roll.
