NYC LIFE: Shakespeare, Darlene Love, Ellen Kaye, and “Barbra”
There literally are not enough summer days tomatoes. Two fabulous FREE events – Shakespeare in Bryant Park and Darlene Love at Lincoln Center – are happening tonight! Toss a coin. Thank goodness nothing big conflicts with Ellen Kaye performing at the Iridium on Tuesday – we love her voice, her energy and her soul. And if you have never seen “Barbra” perform live, hurry and get your tickets now – she’s coming to Barclays Center.
July 23. “As You Like It”

July 23. Darlene Love FREE at Lincoln Center
Head outdoors to Lincoln Center tonight for a fabulous celebration of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Darlene Love for her 75th birthday! Hers was the voice that helped launch a hundred hits during the glory days of the girl-group era, including the No. 1 “He’s a Rebel,” “(Today I Met) The Boy I’m Gonna Marry,” “He’s Sure the Boy I Love,” and “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” Recently, she has been on a creative hot streak, featured in the Oscar-winning documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom and releasing last year’s Introducing Darlene Love with songs written just for her by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and other renowned songwriters. It will be a great night.
Here’s a little walk down memory lane with Darlene Love.
