The Blossoms were a female vocal group formed at Fremont High School in Los Angeles in 1954 as <a href="spotify:artist:4aAdNPM4y08ORoaqnOvTAG">the Dreamers</a> and consisting of Fanita James (née Barrett), <a href="spotify:artist:08BQmH2M3Ew9XjMHaHsl1l">Gloria Jones</a>, and the twin sisters Nanette and Annette Williams. They recorded for Flair Records in 1954. By 1957, Nanette Williams had been replaced by Darlene Wright, who later took the name <a href="spotify:artist:391oLRVmoTkumiN79HkTWu">Darlene Love</a>. They did extensive session work, and <a href="spotify:artist:391oLRVmoTkumiN79HkTWu">Love</a> and James were members of producer <a href="spotify:artist:3jVMgT4X7YeuYE4aludcmE">Phil Spector</a>'s studio group <a href="spotify:artist:2ry5nwK1VNmh5zMZpmOAyc">Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans</a>. <a href="spotify:artist:391oLRVmoTkumiN79HkTWu">Love</a> also recorded with <a href="spotify:artist:3jVMgT4X7YeuYE4aludcmE">Spector</a> under her own name and as part of <a href="spotify:artist:7rewR1TVjhisjI6gauUamf">the Crystals</a>. The Blossoms had one pop chart entry in 1961 with "Son-In-Law," an answer record to <a href="spotify:artist:3ybBNyjii40yY104IZkcly">Ernie K-Doe</a>'s hit "Mother-In-Law." Later, the Blossoms -- by now consisting of <a href="spotify:artist:391oLRVmoTkumiN79HkTWu">Love</a>, James, and Jean King -- were regular backup singers on the pop music television series Shindig in 1965. In 1967, they scored an R&B singles chart entry with "Good, Good Lovin'." There were more personnel changes and a string of singles on several labels. In 1972, the Blossoms recorded the album Shockwave. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
