How have I not heard of her!? I AM IN LOVE!!!

I'll say it again, "how did I miss her?" Been listening to jazz for almost 50 years. Glad she popped up on my feed.

The term "one of a kind" is frequently applied incorrectly, but not in the case of Blossom Dearie. "Uniquely talented" doesn't do her justice. "Amazing" comes closer. Just loved her work.

If Doris Day and Bill Evans had a baby..... She's amazing and understated.

Love the simplicity and momentum of her 2 bar intro. She looks so youthful, amazing to find out she was 41 when this performance was filmed.

Jeez she was so incredibly talented.

She was in her early 40s here, she had the girlishness while at the same time all of the mature confidence. One of my all time favorites.

聴くと胸が苦しくなる。郷愁が込み上げてくるのは何故だろうか、この曲に出逢えてよかったです。

Wow! What a nice surprise

Je l’adore !

A belated happy 100th (4/28/1924) to the amazing and totally hip-to-the-tip, Miss Blossom Dearie.❤🎹🎶

The quality of the audio recording is great

We need this especially now. This soothes the soul. This was nice.

26 year old here. Love me some Blossom Dearie. What a class act.

Watching these old tv jazz videos makes me so happy, I just smile : )

We have heard that Blossom comes from the Catskills mtns (N.Y.) and played the resorts in that area in her early days. An American treasure !

Her style is so precise.

Listen to those BEAUTIFUL vibratos at the ends of "agreeeeee" and "beeeee" on the first chorus. So seemingly effortless - such mastery.

Wow, first time seeing footage of her performing! Great way to start the day. 😎

I’ve loved Blossom Dearie since the local jazz station played her rendition of “Peel Me a Grape” many years ago. She was one of a kind and I will never tire of listening to her.

An abiding regret of my life is that I never got to see/hear Blossom Dearie in person. The lady never played or sang a bad note in the entirety of her career.

Blossom you were so special! Rest easy❤

Such a sweet voice, and a great pianist. I never vsaw her live, but knew her through Humphrey Litttleton's jazz night on radio

God bestowed talent...timeless classic.

omg - could anyone swing quite like that?! The first time I heard her I thought "god does she ever have a smoking pianist behind her". Then I realized SHE was the smoking pianist!!!! Talk abou underrated! She's amAAAHHHHZing!

She’s so magical 😭

It's a pleasure to hear such a natural voice. I just discovered an album of hers that I bought years ago. Fresh as a daisy. Or should I say fresh as a blossom.

1965, this takes me back to the day I first saw Blossom and fell in love with the lady and her music. I'm still enjoying her talent in 2018.

Goddamn it! She was so good.

What a lovely surprise.

She said she's a jazz musician, learning to be a jazz singer. Seems she nailed both. Very underrated as a pianist.

Very light and girlish indeed. Easily one of the best jazz singers of all time in my book.

Blossom Dearie was a brilliant pianist. And a good friend of Miles Davis.

What a beautiful song! I feel so lucky that we got to hear Blossom Dearie in NY in 2001 and still think fondly about that night. The entire audience was mesmerized, completely under her spell. I even got to chat with her and thank her after the show. She was a wonderful person and a very talented artist. As a pianist I really appreciate that she chooses each note carefully instead of playing a ton of notes like some jazz players do. She’s a purist and her style is minimalist, but each bite is a real treat and leaves us wanting more.

She melts my heart.

Surprisingly she sang so well as if it was a recording

Blossom Dearie Is Truly One of The Greatest Singers In American Music History! They Don't Create Music Like This Anymore! They're Have To Be a Hollywood Bio Pic About Miss Dearie.

Favorite singer of all time. Lately I want to burn the internet to the ground but then I remember it makes watching videos like this so possible and so easy.

What a GREAT piano duet! What a talented lady Blossom Dearie is‼️ This is such cool jazz...❤️🎹‼️🌺👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

My daughter was singing the "Unpack your adjectives" episode of Schoolhouse Rock because she heard it in school. As a child of the 70s/80s (yes, I'm an older parent) I knew it well and streamed it for her... as soon as I heard the voice i knew it was Blossom Dearie, lol. Back then I had no idea who she was but as an adult I'm a big fan. It's cool how I seem to enjoy the things I liked as a kid even MORE now that I'm an adult. 🤷‍♂️

Dear Blossom, I feel so privileged to have enjoyed her live in Melbourne along with Stephane Grappelli. What a night never ever forget it

I am a big fan of the mid century jazz beatniks, like Blossom Dearie!

This is priceless. It nearly brings me to tears how beautiful it is.

I had never heard of Blossom Dearie until this morning when Kareem Abdul Jabbar mentioned her and the song in his newsletter. What a beautiful voice. Will have to learn this tune on the keyboard but also play along with the video on my trumpet. Thanks for posting this.

I have BFA in music that I acquired over twenty years ago...this is the first day I've learned about this amazing artist!!!

They're all so talented what a nice piece of video here, and I'm glad to live in a time and place which i can see it online, so many years later

In 1975 quite by accident I saw Bobby Short at the Carlyle in NYC. Long away from Seattle but enjoyed him for years. I stumbled on Blossom last week and goodness I wish I would have found her then. She is simply wonderful. Her music lives on. Thanks to the person that did this you made my day. Larry

OMG we have the same nose, and sound similar singing! I was too shy to sing, until people said I sounded like Blossom Dearie. That is a BIG complement, because she is a fabulous pianist AND singer!

This is my first time seeing her! I discovered her music recently on Spotify and it felt like a glass of cool water on a long hot day. She’s so cool!

Blossom is simply amazing! She's always in season. Thanks 4 posting this!

I was 9 years old when I first saw her. What a dearie!

She's such a huge influence to lofi genre

I was reading a Spencer novel & he mentioned Blossom, I had never heard of her! So now I’m checking her out and she’s quite adorable & talented!

It does not get any better than Blossom Dearie!!

So glad to see this.......long been a fan of Blossom from back in the 1960's......great pianist and nice singer.....superb and very underrated today maybe.

Fabulous Blossom xx

I’m so late to this amazing talent. I was watching "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and a few of her tracks were on the soundtrack. Thank God for Shazam. Love her style. I’m now a fan.

I love the way her voice rings at the end of each line. Truly pleasant to the ears. One of my favorite renditions of a classic.

Have adored her recordings for 40 years, what a joy to see her in action around the time of those fantastic LPs. Thank you so much for these treasures, Blossom must never be forgotten!

The lady is so amazing and swings so beautifully.

Wonderful video footage of an under-appreciated talent..She really swings on the grand piano and the trio gracefully supports her singing.Thanks

Wish we could bring you back..........

Never heard this lady before and yet was brought in a family full of all sorts of music from 1920's to whenever! Brilliantly talented artiste!

Blossom Dearie deserves to be celebrated and worshiped as a true talented musician and woman. Wish I could have met her ❤

She was a national treasure

Where on Earth have I been that I haven't discovered this Amazing Lady until now? I knew of her name from the ABC Saturday Morning School House Rock segment she did, "Figure Eight." I also believe she did a commercial for Canada Dry's Wink soda. I think I've just fallen in love with her. What a fantastic Jazz performer AND she plays piano too, which I didn't know. This is what is so great about KZfaq- so many fans posting their music favorites and people like me get to "discover" a new favorite! Thanks so much for this!

Love this … perfect ❤ I just love this 🌟

A unique gem of a talent!

Blossom's voice is just adorable!

Sweet to hear something old but so fresh. Thanks Blossom!

Wow...first time I have seen her perform...although she is a name i know well She's great

Very nice. Such a refreshingly cute and relaxing vocal style

Such a unique voice, very joyful, so natural, so beautiful.... One of my favorite Jazz singers.

Blossom Dearie's music soothes the soul. She is superb.

Love Blossom Dearie! Always loved her groove.

Oh, thank you for that. I haven't heard Blossom Dearie since I was a senior in high school. And I Loved the duet after.

WOW. all the right notes, at the right time. What planet did she get beamed from?

There was probably someone who told her early on that she didn’t sound like the others, so if that ever happens to you, see your differences as an asset, not a reason to stop. I love her sound.

She’s got the sweetest voice I’m Jazz in my opinion

One of my favorite singer woman in muy life

PERFECTION!

Found this from hitting random on wikipedia. This is excellent

This is fantastic. I'm so glad I happened upon this wonderful songstress. And that vibrato just captivates me.

This is the first time that I listen to this lady. I found this video after realizing that Elton John named his most expensive piano "Blossom" after her name. So I wanted to know who she was and I´m now enjoying her unique talent. Another little miracle that happened in a very unawaited way. Thank you very much for sharing this great video and making me a little less ignorant.

Just LOVE this lady.

tTheir talent and sheer musicianship just takes your breath away

I love her.

Simply wonderful.

i absolutely love this

Grandissima Blossom Dearie ❤️🌹☀️✨✨ Franco Manzecchi on drums , Maestro 👏👏👏☀️🌹❤️

Wow! Just heard of Dearie today.

I have never heard of this woman. Really wonderful.

Happy 100th birthday.

Check out "Blossom Dearie sings" from 1973 when you find the time; the album she released on her own label, Daffodil records. She updates her sound but remains firmly within the pure Jazz idiom which her early career was based upon. From start to finish it is beautiful music.

Absolute charm (Otherwise let's not forget that the original song is "Que reste t'il de nos amours" by Cherle Trenet

Saw her in nyc when she must have been 80.. Still magic.

I was lead trumpet in a band once. But of all the instruments I wished to play, it was the piano most of all. Wow, what a talent she was!

School House Rock "Figure 8" Singer Ms. Blossom Dearie..RIP!!

Gee I was 5 when this was happening already. Wow.

One of the Greats I had seen her from little joints in NYC and Paris in the day Love you Ms Dearie
