Blossom Dearie (1926-2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist.
Born on 28th April 1926 in East Durham, New York, of mixed Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, Dearie began her career in vocal groups in New York. In the early 1950s she moved to Paris, forming her own vocal group, The Blue Stars, later to become the Swingle Singers.
After signing to Verve, Dearie returned to the U.S. where, despite developing a successful career and achieving international fame, by 1974 the lack of interest from major labels led her to start her own label, Daffodil Records. She continued performing into her eighties.
Blossom Dearie died on 7th February 2009, at her apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City

I fell in love. The soft innocent sounding voice without seeming week or cute. The epitome of underappreciated 40's and 50's jazz female vocalists. Could go on, but im preaching to the choir here. Reverend Ray Dio
