In Full Bloom is the second album released by American funk band Rose Royce on the Whitfield label in July 1977. It was produced by Norman Whitfield. The album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2016 by Big Break Records.
The album topped the R&B albums chart. It also reached number nine on the Billboard 200, the band's highest position on the chart. The album spawned two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, "Do Your Dance (Part 1)" and "Ooh Boy", which reached number four and number three respectively. A third single, "Wishing on a Star", was not as successful in the US, but was a huge hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number three. Another single, "It Makes You Feel Like Dancin'", was released in the UK and peaked at number 16.
The Bay State Banner called Norwalt "one of the few voices getting air play nowadays who sounds off guard, entirely relaxed."[1]
