Darlene Love (Parade Performer)
Beloved for her No. 1 holiday classic, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” Darlene Love is a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, who’s been famously dubbed the Queen of Christmas by Mariah Carey. Darlene has been a vocal powerhouse since the early 1960s when she emerged from Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” as an unforgettable voice in pop and soul. She quickly became the go-to vocalist for Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, and Bruce Springsteen, and more music legends. Now, at 84 years young, Darlene shows no signs of slowing down. Her 2025 holiday tour, Love for the Holidays, starts November 28 in Tucson, Arizona, and hits many U.S. cities through December 21.
