Biography:
In 1958, a quartet of girls
christened themselves the Tropicals and began to perform in local Washington DC
clubs. Their repertoire consisted of many of the hits songs of the day and old
favorites that would get an audience up on their feet. The group, all hailing
from the DC area, consisted of sisters Jacqui and Vicki Burton and their
longtime friends Jeanette Talley and Roberta Miller. What the girls wanted more
than anything was to get a recording deal and become stars, but their first
break was a long time coming.

Despite their immense
disappointment, they continued to tread the boards. When they heard about the
formation of the new Shrine label, they went along to get themselves a piece of
the action. By this time Roberta had retired due to ill health, leaving the remaining
trio to sign with Shrine. A change of name was required to distinguish them
from Darlene Love's West Coast group, so the girls became the D.C. Blossoms.
Shrine Records released “I Know About Her” b/w “Hey Boy” in 1966, but this
record also failed. The D.C. Blossoms disbanded shortly after this release.
