Darlene Love, at 85, finally gets the spotlight to herself in a new documentary at TIFF

2026 TIFF - "Darlene Love: I Know Where I've Been" Portrait Session - (Invision)

It’s cosmic justice that Darlene Love, whose career in music so often went uncredited in her youth, still sings so well at age 85.

The new documentary, “Darlene Love: I Know Where I’ve Been,” is punctuated by Love's performances of some of her classic songs, including “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and “He’s a Rebel.” The performances feel Love reclaiming songs from an up-and-down past. But they also just sound good. Even in her mid-80s, one of the greatest American vocalists of the 20th century sounds amazing.
