I don't think Darline Love was ever officially a member of the Crystals,
could be wrong though.
Spector used her because he was in a cover battle for "He's a Rebel" and
needed to get the 45 out fast. The Crystals were on the road touring and
Spector didn't want the trouble of flying the girls to LA. So he used
Darline (and her group The Blossoms) for those singles. Which pissed off
the group, they had to go buy the 45 so they could learn the song. Also
Spector never sent them much money, most of the cash the group made was on
the road.
