About

The Blackberries were an American female vocal trio. Originally comprising Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews, and Clydie King—each an in-demand session singer—the group first sang together in 1969 and released their first credited single with Pacific Gas & Electric in 1970. They were subsequently assembled as a formal group at the suggestion of Steve Marriott of Humble Pie. The lineup later changed, with Matthews replaced by Billie Barnum, and continued to evolve throughout the decade. The Blackberries performed and recorded with a range of artists, including Humble Pie, Pink Floyd, Ringo Starr, and the Supremes, and released recordings on labels such as Motown's West Coast subsidiary Mowest and A&M Records.
