The Blossoms - "Brown Eyed Woman" was written about Darlene Love
Wow i didnt know that! They [[The Blossoms) sound really good on that track
"Brown Eyed Woman" was a solo recording by Bill Medley, for which I paid a fortune to obtain on a MGM promo 45 about 25 years ago, I suppose £7.00 doesn't seem much now, but back in the day.
The Blossoms where really great singers.
Probably the biggest solo record Medley ever had [[aside from his song from Dirty Dancing)...Bobby Hatfield tried for a short time to make it with a new partner [[Jimmy Walker, late of the Knickerbockers of "Lies" fame), but when that didn't work, he opted to do some solo stuff as well.
Best,

Bill and Darlene were involved in a relationship. She talks about it in her autobiography.
Brown Eyed Woman was a big hit in New York. It should have done better than #43 on the Hot 100 but it's a Great Record!! nevertheless.
Late to the thread[[haven't checked in in a while). Brown Eyed Woman is not only my favorite Bill Medley record, but it would be on a desert island disc if I could only have one 80 minute CD to listen to for the rest of my life.
New thread, anyone? ;-)
