Blossom Dearie - Someone To Watch Over Me

[katitwina]

whenever I hear this song, I think of the rolling hills of Andalucia... because that's where I listened to this song for an hour an a half, over and over and over again. Haha I'm ridiculously in love with this song, and Blossom's soothing, dreamy voice :)

i sang in a restaurant today with jeff kemp pianist and someone told me i sang just like blossom, they asked me she wa my inspiration but is never heard of her, ive come straight back home to listen

Why do all the good things belong to the past?

[arlene1934corwin]

She was great from start to finish.  i heard her first in the early 50's. She just kept developing subtly, not really changing and yet changing.

Yes, you're all right - she will be and is alread sadly missed.

I'm male, 63, a fan of great music and musicians, and until 4 weeks ago I had never HEARD of Blossom Dearie. WOW! My loss! Now I can't get enough! Wonder how many other "surprises" await me?!

[Scotter1971]

Many many many wonderful surprises, sir! A lot of her catalogue is thankfully back in print on compact disc. Don't hesitate, sieze the day!!!

You might try some of Eva Cassidy if you haven't already heard her. Like Blossom, she can bring you to tears with the trueness and beauty of her singing. Eva passed away of melanoma in the 1990s at 33--a great loss. She's all over youtube---try her live performance of Over the Rainbo or Time after Time (cindy lauper's song) or Fields of Gold. You won't be sorry.

This is just an observation. I have travelled around the USA most of my life and have found that Blossom's works are best known in the tri-state area. I don't know why, and it's certainly not across the board, but that's the impression I have formed over the years.

@dcatxusa

that's why I LOVE youtube :)

Blossom Dearie is a great artist - she loves and appreciates life and the world we share - you can hear it in her voice, her selection of material and in her wonderful piano playing.

[littlexine]

haven't heard any of Blossom Dearie's songs for years...had forgotten how much I like her voice.

[dancingcello]

What a sweet indulgence simply by listening to Dearie's blossoming voice...I feel lifted by the warmth, the softness and the tenderness her voice conveys...

[bomberofab]

I just melt listening to Blossom. Her sound is utterly unique soaring gently on the wings of a swift. Her placement precise yet so laidback. What a darling to listen to. Lullaby supreme. Ms Cat

[haroof]
