Blossom Dearie Tribute
Here is a lovely song performed by the delicious and gifted singer Blossom Dearie. Blossom Dearie (born in 1926 in East Durham, New York) is an American jazz singer. She is known for her distinctive, high-pitched, girlish voice. As a child Dearie studied classical piano but switched to jazz as a teenager. After high school Dearie moved to New York City to pursue her music career. Here she began singing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before launching her own solo career. In 1952 she moved to Paris and formed a vocal group, The Blue Stars. The group had a hit in France in 1954 with a French-language version of "Lullaby of Birdland". While in Paris, she met her future husband, the Belgian flautist and saxophonist Bobby Jasper. 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", written and composed by Cy Coleman and Joseph McCarthy, Jr. in 1956. Dearie's first recordings as a singer and pianist were made for Verve in the late 1950's and early 1960's, most often in a small trio or quartet setting. In 1962 she recorded a song for a radio commercial for Hires root beer. It proved very popular, so the LP "Blossom Dearie Sings Rootin' Songs" was released as a premium item that could be ordered for one dollar and a proof-of-purchase. In 1964 she recorded her best known album for Capitol Records, "May I <b>...</b>
Blossom Dearie sings Ramses Shaffy's 'Sammy'
Blossom Dearie (1926-2009) sings Ramses Shaffy (1933-2009) The American jazz-singer Blossom Dearie recorded Shaffy's song 'Sammy'. Singing in one of Shaffy's shows during the late 1960s, she became one of his many admirers: "Ramses had such a distinctive laugh. (...) I think Ramses is one of the most gifted musician/songwriters in the music world. His melodies are wonderful, I don't understand Dutch but I am sure the lyrics are first class. As a performer he is definitely first class--a world class artist and I am crazy about him."

Blossom Dearie - How Do Say Auf Wiedersehn? (with lyrics)
From a CD entitled "The Meticulous To The Sublime". Musicians Los Angeles' finest: Colin Bailey(Drums) John Morrell(Guitar) Jim Hughart(Bass) How do you say auf wiedersehn To things you'll never see again The Wilhelmstrasse in the rain The day we ran to catch the train That puffed along the river Seine Remember Paris And best of all the Pyrennes Who could forget such memories That crazy trip how typical of us To miss the bus the plane too How do you say auf wiedersehn to these The wild times, the small things That popular waltz of the day It ended as all things But when does the music go away. Say au revoir but not good bye I've said it till I want to cry Perhaps the French could tell us what to do I wish I knew ah liebschen How do I say auf wiedersehn to you .

I'll take Manhattan - Blossom Dearie - By Paulo Antunes
I'll take Manhattan The Bronx, and Staten Island too It's lovely going through The zoo It's very fancy On old Delancey Street, you know The subway charms us so When balmy breezes blow To and fro And tell me what street Compares with Mott Street in July Sweet pushcarts gently Gliding by The great big city's a wondrous toy Made for a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy
