¡NICE MUSIC!

[etsi24dec]

This is my favourite song. Whenever I listen this song I remember to spend a fantastic time with my boyfriend. By the way how is the weather in London at the moment?

R.I.P Blossom Dearie

[luverlything]

I adore the British weather, the rain, the snow, the sunshine, the fog, just wait an hour or two and you might experience all the above. Cannot stand blue sky and hot sun every day, it depresses me for some reason. Love Sunday afternoons, miserable outside but inside cosy and warm with a great black and white film, some lovely food and drink, what could be better?

[mymusic777ify]

@luverlything I completely agree 100% on every word! can't stand the burning sun very long too long.it's uncomfortabel,i get a terrible headache and get very tired.why does people hate the rain so much anyway? raingear and umbrellas were invented a long time ago!

[BlossomDearieDotCom]

This song is from "That's Just The Way I Want To Be" a great recording from her time on Fontana in London in the 60s. This album finaly made it to CD. A lot of her recordings on her record label are on CD now thru Amazon or her website!

[irena2009]

there's nothing better than autumn in London! Jazzy music, coffee, a cigarette (if permitted), sitting somewhere watching the people go by... It never gets old.

[mohrya]

Всем тем кому сейчас очень жарко посмещется !))

Очень хочу гулять по лужам....

[liveontheclassics]

London is so beautiful <3 I'm hoping to go there someday when I become a veterinarain.

[TheTzoana]

[nguyenthanh8]

Very Nice! I want to take a tour of London one day, but I've notice people seem to drive crazy in the UK lol.

[luckyvidoes]

I love the rain in London oh yeah baby!!!

[Micky1964]

Thanks for the info Delicado. And obviously, thanks for the vid and tune TV Insider.

[TheRealBladeRunner]

Nice.

[Doogp75]

Like this tune - any enthusiasts know of any (presumably jazz) tracks that have the sax and drums like in the final 20-30 seconds or so, love those instruments together!

[Dragongod462]

I love when it rains it should rain all the time. Nice song makes you nostalgic for the good times one had in ones life.

[TheBlackPussyCat]

wonderful chill out song :)

[drjukebox]

luv london, can't stand the people - whattado?

[TheRealBladeRunner]

what's wrong with us?

[interbear]

All of them? not much of a generalisation then !

[londonemski]

@interbear

Everyone - and I mean everyone - in south London does, as you well know.

[delicado]

stevel738: it's not a remix! It's an original recording from 1970 and is on the Fontana LP 'that's just the way I want to be'. There's a Japanese CD with that album on, or you could pick up the compliation 'in Flight Entertainment' on Deram (1996 CD).

[stevel738]

So who did this remix and where can we find it?

[johncena1841]

i luv london and englisg ppl as well really i love them i luv london i cant live without london i wana b there .any english wana be my frnd plz

[johncena1841]

i luv ths song

[julieyard1]

This song is great.

someone commented on the terrible weather of london.

Actually lots of people like rainy weather.

Sitting in a cafe with a coffee,a notebook, my ipod.

Man, you can't beat that!

On the beach in sunny weather is fine but i prefer the rain at times too.

[OohGoshYoureRight]

@julieyard1 Dear Juilliard, Don't worry about those beach bums, most of them, unlike you are unable to write. . How many free museums are there near the beach? How many free art galleries are there near the beach? How many Theateres are there etc.? .. Sadly, those beachcombers only visit London, once in a lifetime. . Cheers. from, del-boy.

[avirnama123]

@julieyard1 Agree!

[afrosheen6]

@julieyard1 Roger that. Nothing like a rainy day to help you sit and just reflect, thought I was the only one...lol

[Lrdvltr]

@julieyard1 I agree. Evertime I hear this song I begin to masturbate, I don't know why.

[julieyard1]

@Lrdvltr nothing wrong with that.,unless you're in line at starbucks. Then "extra cream" takes on a new meaning.

[mymusic777ify]

@julieyard1 yepp i know! been there done that! and suddenly it doesn't tast as expected!

[MrReillac]

a friend bought me this on a 45... for some reason i thought it was new track... obviously now ive youtubed it i find out its old .and id never heard of blossom dearie...nearly 40 and still learning....great track...

[salzzxP]

i love this SoNg

[angeline6]

What a beautiful, wistful song! I love Blossom Dearie but I'd never heard this before....lovely video too!

[glish73]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

[sclogse1]

Her first album on verve is perfection...and her piano playing is very much like Bill Evans...

THis tune has that 70's Michel Legrand lilt to it..the addition of hip hop beats works and doesn't work...as the drums tend to too deadening to the flow...happens a lot with these types of drums...best remix I ever heard was a nancy wilson christmas song...what a bottom that thing had....

[super8tribe]

superb blossom tune

my calypso crisis 'London is the place for me' - another gem - check it

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

Fantastic ... swingin & sexy.

For more splendid jazz, please feel free to visit my blog (see profile).

THANKS & All best,

Bruno Leicht

[writeatcha]

Beautiful!

She was the childlike voice of "Unpack Your Adjectives" from School House Rock!!

[alexuta1988]

i like it too...anyhow

[jennycouncil]

song written by Jim Council (lyrics), Blossom Dearie (music). from album "that's just the way I want to be"

[jayburlington]

R.I.P. Blossom Dearie. She died on 7 February.

[maxmillion99]

yes - Blossom will be missed...

[6ubidubi]

OMG, I <3 that song!! It's marvellous!! :)))))

[soparamens]

what album is this song on? anybody?

[macronencer]

First heard this on a "Loungecore" Kitsch compilation. Loved it to bits. I am now digging deeper. What a voice!

[hel273]

Ahhhhh Loungecore....IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT compiled by The Karminsky Experience I recall. Fantastic!!! Bridgit Bardot's St Tropez too. Did you ever see them DJ upstairs at BLOW UP ? Takes me back, GOOD TIMES!

[soparamens]

me too, i heard this on a lounge mix, but the original is superb!

[jarbon5]

Loving this song and for really loving the accompanying video:)

[gavkasso]

Amazing song,one of a kind. Thank you Blossom.

[scandalousjen]

I like the song. -by Chloe 8 years old

[yak6ex]

8 years old, really?

[scandalousjen]

yep. She's 8. She also loves school house rock.

[Tomasonen]

cool vid

[oldstock1607]

She rocks. that is all.

[SalPedi]

Nice video, but this doesn't do Blossom true justice!..

You have to see her in person, singing, at the piano!..

I've always loved her, and the last time I saw her was at

Dannys Hideaway in NYC about five years ago...

I hope she's feeling okay....she's getting on in years, but

she'll always be one of my very favorites..

God love you Blossom dear!...

[lesterbarry]

This track is sheer poetry, straight to to top of my 'forever' list.

[SamuelDurkin]

I love this kind of light pop Jazz.

[dpmduran]

samuel....light pop Jazz? Hardly...more chill out, if anything, but mostly a great version, even though prefer the Hotel Costes cut.

[happyapplemint]

this song just feels like exact London to me :)

[benneyboi29]

She a lovely song. I live in London and its always bloody raining! lol

[joyclean]

you're a racist jackoff!

[HMDILLS]

Well you might think white peopel suck at jazz, but Miles Davis and John Lennon thought she was great and so do my husband and I!

[blkbutterfly11]

I am such a Blossom Dearie fan. I love hearing this song.

[paulostroff99]

A very unique and talented performer.Very lovely performance.

[coolitababy]

Fun song.When was it recorded, anyone know?

[lesterbarry]

The original version is on a1970 album, 'That's Just The Way I Want To Be', on the Fontana label.

I've no idea if this one on youtube is an original version or a mix, but what a great song.
