Darlene Love - "My Heart Beat A Little Bit Faster" - 1963

The first single released under Darlene Love's name on the Philles label.

This came out in March 1963 as the b-side of the classic "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry", a replacement for the single's original flip, "Playing For Keeps" (not the Stan Kesler song).

Phil Spector's gorgeous production really showcases (no, embraces) Darlene's soulful voice.

An absolute masterpiece !

Both sides of the single were awarded four stars by "Billboard", but it was not the commercial success it probably deserve to be. The record barely managed to get into the Top 40 in "Billboard"'s Hot 100 :
