up listening to gospel music and was a dedicated member of her church.
She began singing in her church choir at age ten. During choir
practice she caught the attention of choir director Cora Martin-Moore.
After singing for Martin-Moore she was asked to go to the Music Mart
where she sang and did some broadcasts; Love's career began there. As
it was her first musical experience, it was also the main influence
for her to pursue a music career. Those who knew her described her
vocals as "a voice of a nightingale." She claimed, "(singing in) the
choir was a big influence on my life. I call it my learning ground.
Singing in the choir, I learned harmony."As an actress, she is perhaps
best remembered for playing Roger Murtaugh's wife in the Lethal Weapon
film series.
