Who is Misty Love? A music maverick in her own rights, Misty Love

has stood the test of time in life and the music industry. Born in

Tallahassee, Florida as Deloris Davis, Misty was a born singer. Her

ambition to sing was fueled by her innate ability to harmonize with

the songs she heard on the radio in the 60s. After doing the standard

“pay your dues” shows with many Detroit based groups, Misty got a

break by replacing Caroline Crawford the lead singer of the pop 70s

group Bohannon. The

group had a major hit

song that revolutionized the disco era title “Let’s

Start The Dance”.

After her stint with Bohannon,

she went back to Detroit and

started performing with

virtually all of the great

musicians and artists on the

Detroit scene, namely

keyboard great Rudy Robinson.

Rudy was the music director and right hand man

for Mike Hank’s Detroit Based record label D-Town; he taught Love the ins and outs of the

fine-tuning she needed in the music industry. In the late 90s Misty had a chance encounter

with an up and coming Detroit rapper by the name of Robert James Ritchie from Romeo,

Michigan. That artist would later become international recording artist Kid Rock. She and

Kid traveled in station wagons the back woods of Michigan and Ohio

performing to what would be future fans of the artist. Love performed

and recorded in Kid’s band the Brown Truckers with one of Detroit’s

most talented vocalist Shirley Hayden (Lead singer of the Parlett). The

result was Love participating in the

creation of Kid’s smash 1998 hit

album “Devil Without A Cause”,

which garnered her 10 Diamond, 6

Platinum, and 1 Gold record for her collection.

Throughout the years, Love has done a multitude of things

to enhance her career goals. She is one of the background

singers in the Grammy Award winning 2002 hit docufilm

“Standing In The Shadows Of Motown” that talked about the Motown musicians apply known

as the Funk Brothers.

She sung backup as a Crystals for LA LA Brooke the former lead singer of the group, on the ‘My

Music’ PBS Series. Her career continues to expand as the producer of numerous productions

“The Tribute To Kim Weston”, “The Tribute To Mary Wells”, and “Tribute To The Motown

Divas” all of which are co-produced by the Motown Alumni Association.

She is the founder of ‘Misty Love and the Motown Sound’ band that travels the country

performing for corporations, and concerts.

Misty is the producer of the second largest award music award show in the city of Detroit. The

Detroit Black Music Awards is an annual event honoring Detroit’s most talented and major

Black artists in the metro Detroit area. For the last 4 years this event has colminated into the

premier essence of class and glamour. Detroiters flock to see and be seen for this event. The

Black tie affair is the crowning jewel in Detroit’s music scene. Partnering up with Billy Wilson

President of the Motown Alumni Association, Love and Wilson have joining forces for 4 years.

“I’m proud to have partnered with Misty” said Billy Wilson. “She has a vision on what she

wants to do, and my job is to help to make that vision happen… we are a good team” he said.

In a recent conversation with Love she said “I lived in Vegas for a while, and wanted to come

home to honor and give flowers to the artists in Detroit while they were living; if they are dead

its to late to show our appreciation. That’s why I produced the Detroit Black Music Awards.”
