“The daughter of a minister, Love grew up in Los Angeles and Texas, singing in the choirs at her father’s churches. ‘Mostly all of my singing was in church, for quite a while,’ she said. While she was in high school, she joined a girl group called the Blossoms, and they began touring the circuit for black performers in the segregated musical world of te 1950s and ‘60s…Love’s and the Blossoms’ careers really took off when they met legendary music producer Phil Spector in 1961, and he began to use them in constructing his famous Wall of Sound musical style” (Ryan Marshall, Frederick news-Post (MD), 10/5/2017).
