Great stuff. Just heard Blossom mentioned on NPR and had to hear some more.

Also check out this woman: Smile -Lois Mahalia - she's terrific and I believe this is an original tune she's doing.

Thanks for posting this!

Blossom can convey the story of the Sophisticated Lady with sympathy and understanding. She also brings a hint of hope into this melancholy song.

[tzolo]

she is an autentic Sophisticated Lady...low profile & superb feeling....easy to love

I'm so happy I found this incredibly talented performer here at youtube! Sorry to hear she passed away. Love her unique voice! Many thanks for posting this!

Blossom, a treasure. Wonderful musician and singer.

[MrMichaellola]

Perfect . I saw her perform in many places over 20 years & once had dinner

with her in a bistro in NYC called A bientot (now closed) and at some point

after a small glass of chardonnay she started singing Mademoiselle de Paris a capella.

Of course the whole place fell silent. She was unique.

chills... just effortless beauty, a rare gift.

[Marcelisa]

That was simply gorgeous! I've heard this song sang many times and it has never sounded more plainly truthful or "nonchalant." Thank you for the post. I'm loving Ms. Dearie more and more.

[PhysicsProf1]

Absolutely fabulous ! ! The poster's comment is so appropriate. She truly was a sophisticated lady.

[Devastar22]

When & where was this recorded?

[tryjzz]

It is from a concert in Cork, Ireland in 1983

[Trumpetplayer60076]

So wonderful! Thanks for posting. Blossom was so delightful!

[Scotter1971]

Thank you so much for posting this! I never got to see Ms. Dearie perform live (big regret!) so this is video is a wonderful experience!

[danyporin]

Ah ! Chère Blossom ! Comme elle nous manque !

[fanofmozart]

Oui, d'accord.

[heysonjayson]

Just fabulous! There many wonderful performances of this song, but Blossom's is one of the most "sophisticated". I only had the priveledge to hear her live twice, but what a great and truly unique artist! If there are more songs from this concert available, please, please post them.
