The Blossoms var en sånggrupp bildad 1954 vid John C. Fremont High School i Los Angeles av Fanita James (född Barrett), Gloria Jones och tvillingsystrarna Nanette och Annette Williams. Gruppen hade en listplacering 1961 med låten "Son-In-Law", ett svar till Ernie K-Does listetta från samma år: "Mother-In-Law". 1967 hade de låten "Good, Good Lovin' " på R&B-listan.
De spelade in för Flair Records 1954. 1957 byttes Nanette Williams ut mot Darlene Wright, som senare tog namnet Darlene Love.
Som studiomusiker var de bland annat medlemmar i Phil Spectors studiogrupp Bob B. Soxx and the Blues Jeans.
