So Much Love/ A Darlene Love Anthology 1958-1998 [Import]

• Track Listing

2008 collection from the much-loved vocalist featuring recordings that span her entire career. One of the most respected singers in the business, Darlene Love is regarded as an icon of '60s Pop and Soul. This CD encompasses almost the entire recording career of probably the best known (and best loved) of all the artists ever to be associated with Phil Spector (not counting the Beatles and Stones of course). Unfortunately, due to the vagaries of the catalogue's owner, we are unable to include any of the Spector tracks. The compilation comprises of 24 gems plucked from the remarkable career of the session singer turned Broadway star, with solo sides, including movie soundtrack songs, plus tracks fronting the Blossoms in their various guises. 21 tracks have never been out on Ace before, while ten are completely new to CD. There are three terrific previously unissued performances, including one produced by Jack Nietzsche. A new interview with Darlene is featured in the booklet. Ace.
