The Girlfriends were an American girl group who scored one hit in the United States in 1964, "My One and Only Jimmy Boy".
The group was founded as a result of the splintering of the Los Angeles-based studio group The Blossoms. The four members of the Blossoms - Gloria Jones, Nanette Williams, Fanita James, and Darlene Wright - first sang together in 1957. In 1962, Phil Spector created the group Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans with James and Wright; Jones and Williams then formed their own group, The Girlfriends, with Carolyn Willis (formerly of The Ikettes).[1] They released one single, "My One and Only Jimmy Boy", on Colpix Records in 1963, written and produced by David Gates. The record peaked at #49 in 1964.[2] The Girlfriends never released another record. Willis later joined Honey Cone and both she and Jones sang in one of the nostalgia-circuit groups performing as The Shirelles in the 1990s.
