Blossom Dearie - I wish you love + Impro blues (Live french TV 1965) 

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The quality of the audio recording is great

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 RU-vid- so many fans posting their music favorites and people like me get to "discover" a new favorite! Thanks so much for this!

Happy 100th birthday.

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.

I'm 78. I KNEW about blossom as a kid. But somehow I had forgotten about her until I heard her on a radio program out of Cleveland Oh while driving semi one night about 25 years ago; & I have been listening to her via RU-vid ever since I retired. So great!

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。

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

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

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!

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.

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

But most of all, I wish you unpack your adjectives.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

Je l’adore !

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

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.

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.

Her style is so precise.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

She melts my heart.

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.

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

Just LOVE this lady.

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!

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

Surprisingly she sang so well as if it was a recording

Wow! What a nice surprise

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

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

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

She’s so magical 😭

I like her New York accent. The voice is, perhaps, something to get used to. Her prowess on the 88s is fantastic.

Don't forget to Unpack Your Adjectives, ha ha ha

I was just listening to her version of I Wish You Love from the other video and Quiet Nights but I found this video and wow!!!! I am amazed by this new lady singer I have just discovered a few minutes ago here. Her songs are my old time favorites; I like the way she sings and her voice, and now, I see her playing the piano. What a talent this beautiful sweet lady is. I like her and will search for more of her songs/videos. Thanks.

If you've reached a certain age, you remember Dearie as the voice of "Figure Eight" from ABC's old Multiplication Rock shorts. Not her jazziest turn, but officially likely to have been one of the first jazz singers I ever heard.

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. 🤷‍♂️

Very nice. Such a refreshingly cute and relaxing vocal style

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

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.

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.

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

Blossom you were so special! Rest easy❤

5 people are very confused.

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 !

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

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

She's such a huge influence to lofi genre

Simply wonderful.

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

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

Я люблю эту женщину люблю ее голос,люблю ее лицо. ее манеру исполнения,люблю ее всю..............Что мне с этим делать.....? Она прекрасна....

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

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.

m'Lady bangs on about Blossom Dearie so eventually I placate her by finding a vid. O...M...G...but she was right. Doubtless there are RU-vid conspiracy vids about why this incredible talent isn't right up there among the most acclaimed...

Que reste-t-il de nos amours Que reste-t-il de ces beaux jours Une photo, vieille photo De ma jeunesse Que reste-t-il des billets doux Des mois d' avril, des rendez-vous Un souvenir qui me poursuit Sans cesse Bonheur fané, cheveux au vent Baisers volés, rêves mouvants Que reste-t-il de tout cela Dites-le-moi Un petit village, un vieux clocher Un paysage si bien caché Et dans un nuage le cher visage De mon passé

Goddamn it! She was so good.

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

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.

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

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.

There's no one like her. The word "unique" actually applies.

Adore everything about this delightful video. Janet Seidel sings a slightly different but also charming contemporary rendition.

Goddess

The lady is so amazing and swings so beautifully.

she has the most distinctive, charming voice! it makes me think of sweet, comfortable things like a refreshing breeze on a summer day, or a warm mug of tea on a winter one. i don't know! i just absolutely adore her music

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!

Would have loved to see her live! Classy Lady!

Found this from hitting random on wikipedia. This is excellent

Best wishes indeed and in truth. Mr. K. Abdul-Jabbar, Thanks for sharing this with your sub stack subscribers 2023.

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!

What a knock-out! I'm sure Charles Trenet loved this.

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

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

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!

Miss Blossom Dearie ~~~*

Miles said she was 'the only white woman with soul.'. I know all of us Blossom devotees know this..

Good god, I loved the way this woman sang. Highly under rated outside of vocal jazz circles.

Her piano is good but her voice sounds like a little bird. Beautiful song by Charles Trenet : QUE RESTE T IL DE NOS AMOURS -

God bestowed talent...timeless classic.
