Early career
Blossom Dearie was born on April 28, 1924 (or in 1926 according to some published sources), in East Durham, New York. Different sources state her given names variously as Blossom Margrete, Marguerite Blossom, or Margrethe Blossom. As a child she studied Western classical piano but switched to jazz in her teens. After high school Dearie moved to New York City to pursue a music career and began to sing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey’s band) before starting her solo career.
She moved to Paris, France, in 1952 and formed a vocal group, the Blue Stars. In 1954 the group had a hit in France with a French-language version of “Lullaby of Birdland”. The Blue Stars would later evolve into the Swingle Singers. While in Paris she met her future husband, the Belgian flautist and saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. On her first solo album, released two years later, she plays the piano but does not sing.
One of her most famous songs from that period is “The Riviera”, which was written and composed by Cy Coleman and Joseph McCarthy Jr. in 1956.
Late 1950s and 1960s
After returning from France, Dearie made her first six American albums as a solo singer and pianist for Verve Records in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly in a small trio or quartet setting. Dave Garroway, host of The Today Show and an early fan of Dearie, featured her on several occasions, increasing her exposure with the popular audience.

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

place it on it's side and it's a symbol for infinity! I love Blossom Dearie! She's one of my favorite singers. I own four albums of hers, "Give Him The Ooh La La" "Blossom Time" "Soubrette Sings Broadway Hit Songs" and "May I Come In" Love 'em! Wish I could find "Sings Rootin' Songs"!
