Impostors.

There's another clip of them doing "I Hear a Symphony" and it's very good.
The Blossoms were not impostors. They were a sanctioned group and primarily did background vocals on tons and tons of hits during that time. Also, in the 60's there was a show called "Shindig" and they were generally on the show every week. They sang all the hits tailored for girl groups. It was very common during that time. Below is a link from YouTube where I searched for "The Blossoms on Shindig."

It doesn't suit them and they look uncomfortable...they rocked behind Marvin on the TAMI Show...
I remember seeing this when it first aired, but I didn't remember that Jean took the lead. Her voice was probably better suited to the song than Darlene's would have been. No matter who was guesting on Shindig, I always tuned in for The Blossoms and The Righteous Brothers, who were weekly regulars. They always turned in good performances. I liked the fact that each individual member of these groups was often given a solo spot, not just a lead.
I think Jean is on lead for this one. She's a little over the top with her Ross impression. Overall it's not bad though.
I wonder when this aired. Prior to the Supremes appearance on Sullivan?
My recollection is that The Supremes might have appeared on Shindig before Sullivan, but I could be mistaken on that; memory is vague now. Sullivan was their first live, coast-to-coast appearance, and was what put them firmly on the national map.
A YouTube poster dated this Shindig appearance as 11/64 and that sounds about right. This would then predate Sullivan by a month.
