A new feature documentary about the life of legendary singer Darlene Love is in production from director Barry Avrich and producers Taraji P. Henson, under her production banner TPH Entertainment, and Mark Selby.

One of the rare musical artists to sustain a career across six decades, Love is a legend to fellow musicians from Bruce Springsteen to Bono, and has mentored and influenced generations of artists. Darlene Love: I Know Where I’ve Been examines her extraordinary life – from prodigy to icon – set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and the racial discrimination she navigated throughout her career.

The film features exclusive interviews with luminaries including Cher, Bruce Springsteen, David Letterman, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Sinatra, Steven Van Zandt, Paul Shaffer, Marc Shaiman, Lou Adler, Jimmy Fallon, Robert Smigel, and many more. It also draws on iconic archival footage and extensive conversations with Love herself, tracing her journey from her local church choir to singing backup and lead on some of Phil Spector’s biggest hits, including “He’s a Rebel” and the holiday classic “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home),” through a period in which she was cleaning houses to make ends meet, and ultimately to her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In her own words and through her own eyes, the film tells the powerful story of Love’s return to an industry that had long overlooked her, and her embrace by a new generation of fans and musicians who rediscovered her magic.

Darlene Love: I Know Where I’ve Been is co-produced by Avrich and Selby’s Melbar Entertainment Group and Henson’s TPH Entertainment. Barry Avrich, Mark Selby, Taraji P. Henson, Jamila Jordan-Theus, Tim Drake, and Len Evans serve as Executive Producers.
