In the Name of Love, Florence, Diana and Mary show why they are perhaps the best-known evangels of the Detroit Sound (TIME, March 4).

Yet Darin has made six LP albums that have sold more than 1,500,000 copies. His trademark single recordéa driving version of Kurt Weill's Mack the Knife-has sold more than 2,000,000 copies.
