Ah, Blossom, many have found you late in life, many after you left us. Yet, that’s the point, artistry and talent like yours never dies, lives forever. You gifted us forever.

The most beautiful rendition ever! Perfect delivery.

We talked with this amazingly talented lady in a T V show dressing room. My piano colleague was a real great, and told her in loving tribute that her own accompaniment to her singing was faultless, sweet, appropriate. She was such an open and honest darling of art, with a touch unique, a taste sublime, a sense of the ridiculously honest state of it.

Only Peggy Lee can match such quality with such low volumes!

Yes, an enormous talent and so understated and sophisticated. I, too, miss her greatly. Saw her many times in the back room of the Ballroom in NYC.

Ah ! Chère Blossom ! Comme elle nous manque !

Blossom is a jazz treasure, a giant. I love her feeling, her phrasing, both vocally and with her tasteful, swinging piano playing. Thank you for posting!

Her voice really takes you away....daydreaming...RIP.

Can't be in a rush with this one. You are essentially growing an orchid in your hand. Blossom could take me in hers any time.

sophisticated lady she sure was.there was never anybody like her.saw her in the 60s at ronnies.she had the audience in stiches with im hip.knocks me out to this day.a true musical great.many thanks.

It is from a concert in Cork, Ireland in 1983

I spent most of my life in Chicago, so I mostly fell in love with Blossom through her recordings. I heard he live only once, in a small club on a visit to New York. I shall never forget it. She is, indeed, a unique treasure.

This is a very complex melody and she does it so well and yet without any seeming effort. Exquisite voicings in her accompaniment too. Brava, as always for Blossom!

Blossom can convey the story of the Sophisticated Lady with sympathy and understanding. She also brings a hint of hope into this melancholy song.

she really understood this great tune.

Grace, control, subtlety.

The deepest meaning with the lightest touch - Blossom was a giant, for all her demure manner and small stature.

oh dear, if there's one thing i could wish for in the whole world, it's to see her live. what i would give!

Wow! Style. Class. TALENT! Inventiveness. Unparalleled interpretation. A jazz diamond.

Beautiful - Blossom Dearie sings this as it should be sung to put one into the right mood- thank you

I've been searching for someone like Blossom Dearie, who could belt out the songs of the 30s/40s.

Oh I love this Lady a good friend Recommend her me a long time ago what a wonderful jazz voice she has what talented lady most relaxing voice 💭 ❤❤❤❤

One of my picks if I ever get invited to that Desert Island radio show. Thank you so very much, Blossom Dearie ...

Truly a Classic rendition of a great song.

wow, she really knows what she's doing.. impressive. Very cool performance!

Grace, control, subtlety.

She was always wonderful and meticulous performer.

love how she credits the writers

PURE MAGIC....❤️🌹🎤🎼⭐️🌟☄️💫✨

She is such an inspiration to me, now that I've decided to start singing/recording later in life...such elegant grace and depth of feeling--just love her. 💕❤️

How amazing she is!

Her live solo rendition of 'Lush Life' by Billy Strayhorn is also so beautiful in its pathos. Blossom comments that the song is so difficult, that it took her 11 years to learn to sing and play it.

Dear Blossom, miss you so much.

she is an autentic Sophisticated Lady...low profile & superb feeling....easy to love

What is hard to do made to appear simple. Solo performances with perfection, I think Blossom and Laura Nyro mirror each other, both sadly gone. Being able to listen and sometimes view is wonderful. Other people's comments prove the admiration she deserves.

Blossom, a treasure. Wonderful musician and singer.

I love her song and she is beautiful!!

Oh, those piano voicing and nuances! Such talent.

I wish performance dates were routinely shown with video descriptions. Blossom Dearie was unique-gifted and heartful. You would think someone would at least try to take her place.

A most unique voice and imparts the most incredible feeling with every song.

another national treasure

Evokes emotions to the core. Love this artist❤

HOT DAMN! It will NEVER be done better than this

Beautiful rendition.

Incomparable. We won't get a replacement, so enjoy all of her you can hear.

Blossom was of my musician father's favourites..& by osmosis, mine too..love her..unique !!

It's really just perfection.

This is lit af

Beautifully sang and played

Jim Lowe Thank you for this beautiful video of one of the greats in jazz interpretation. I only wish I knew the when and where of this performance. Blossom Dearie, a class act.

Wow! Wonderful! Thanks so much for posting!

I was JUST thinking that!

wow what a talent

Thank you so much for posting this! I never got to see Ms. Dearie perform live (big regret!) so this is video is a wonderful experience!

I like her feel

I saw her at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia years ago.

Great Post!....Much Appreciated!

God Bless you hun!

it sounds like blossoming flowers.

la classe pure

Total class, she gives credit to who wrote it, then she does her stuff, what a definitive legend

Back at a time when people knew know to listen to truly great stuff. That line coming out of the bridge is a bitch. Of course she nails it.

NICE!

Songs like these, deserve a cigarette and a calm night.

I think I understand

w o w

I can SEE the microphone!

no wonder Diana Krall idolized her!

BD had little patience for rude audiences. good for her.

So was her voice just a gimmick? Time will tell.............................
