Darlene Love

Darlene Love (Darlene Wright; born July 26, 1941) is an American popular music singer and actress. She gained prominence in the 1960s for the song "He's a Rebel," a No. 1 American single in 1962, and was one of the artists who performed on the celebrated Christmas album A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector, produced by Phil Spector in 1963. She is ranked number 84 among Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers.

As a minister's daughter, she grew up listening to gospel music and was a dedicated member of her church in San Antonio, Texas. She began singing in her church choir at age ten. During choir practice she caught the attention of choir director Cora Martin. After singing for Martin she was asked to go to the Music Mart where she sang and did some broadcasts; Love's career began there. As it was her first musical experience, it was also the main influence for her to pursue a music career. Those who knew her described her vocals as "a voice of a nightingale." She claimed, "(singing in) the choir was a big influence on my life. I call it my learning ground. Singing in the choir, I learned harmony."

What Christmas Means To Me

by: Darlene Love

Oh, yeah
Candles burning low
Lot's of mistletoe
Lot's of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choirs singing carols
Right outside my door
All these things and more
Baby
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas
Means to me
My love
(Christmas means to me
My love)
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I see your smiling face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love you madly
It seems I love you more
The little cards you give me
Will touch my heart for sure
All these things and more
Baby
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas
Means to me
My love
(Christmas means to me
My love)
Oh, yeah
I feel like running wild
(Running wild)
As reaches and a little child
Greet you 'neath the mistletoe
I kiss you once
And then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas
Baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas, baby)
And happiness
Happiness in the coming year
Oh, yeah
Christmas means to me, my love
(Christmas means to me, my love)
(Christmas means to me, my love)
Let's deck the halls
With holly
Sing a silent night
Fill a sheet
With angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight
All these things and more
Baby
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas
Means to me
My love
(Christmas means to me
My love)
Hey, yeah
That's what Christmas
Means to me
My love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Oh, yeah
Merry Christmas
Yeah
