Phil Spector Wall of Sound singer Darlene Love (The Blossoms, The Crystals, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans) is about to release a live album featuring all of her old hits.
After 50 years in the business Darlene Love will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Neil Diamond, Alice Cooper, Tom Waits and Dr. John next year.
Every year since 1988, R.E.M. has released a special Christmas single for fan club members. In the early years, the release was usually on vinyl and combined a regular Christmas song with a cover of another artist's non-holiday song. After a few years, that changed to special versions of their own songs along with more covers and the medium changed to CD's, VHS tapes and DVD's.
