Kind of a reunion there. You realize that Gloria Jones was one of the founding members of the Blossoms BEFORE Darlene (Wright) Love joined the group 1959.
I always thought there were two Gloria Jones -- this one (born 1945), who sang Tainted Love and married Marc Bolan -- and another (born 1938) who was an original Blossom. Who knows? I can't find much info on the Blossom Gloria, so you're probably right. Glad you liked the video. I have another GJ clip, shot a week before this one (also Shindig).
@@thecadamusementcompany4209 he's wrong and you're right. There are two Gloria Jones. This is Gloria R. Jones originally from Cincinnati and a former member of the Cogic Singers with Preston , Andre and Saundra Crouch, Blinky Williams and Frankie Karl. She was Marc Bolan's partner and also and in demand session singer. The other is Gloria A. Jones an original Blossom (however gone by the time of Shindig) who was in The Girlfriends a part time Shirelle and did a TON of session vocals. Both are great singers.
Thank you for posting this!! Was on YT for awhile then went away. Favorite clip.
Gloria Jones is up there with Martha Reeves ...Aretha Franklin.. Tammi Terrell.. as one of the queens of soul...ktf
I agree! She's great. I have another Shindig clip of Gloria that I'll post.

@@recordguy4321 Good detail here that I didn't know about the non-Blossom Gloria in the clip. She's still kicking as of Oct. 2021.
@@recordguy4321: You're right - I researched it. Now how do I fix it on UA-cam?
