Biography

Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans were an American soul music group produced by Phil Spector in the early 1960s, created as a showcase for Bobby Sheen's lead vocals under the stage name Bob B. Soxx. The backing vocalists Darlene Love and Fanita James, both members of the girl group the Blossoms, completed the trio. The group's first hit was "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" (1962), originally from the 1946 Disney movie Song of the South, with Bobby Sheen on lead vocals. Darlene Love took over lead duties for their follow-up single "Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Heart" (1963). The group released their one and only album, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah (1963), and shared vocal duties on the final single "Not Too Young to Get Married". After 1963, the group were dropped by Philles Records and quickly fell apart. Bobby Sheen later recorded tracks for Capitol Records in the mid-1960s and joined a touring version of the Coasters. Darlene Love achieved solo success and was notably the lead vocalist on hits by the Crystals, including "He's a Rebel" and "He's Sure the Boy I Love".
