Blossom Dearie - C'est le Printemps - Plus je t'embrasse (1961)

[@MikeSchiifer]

I'll always remember in 1953 I visited Paris as a G.I. stationed in Trieste. The first night I came upon a small club, and Blossom was playing solo piano and singing. We were both in our early 20's, and we met during her break. When I moved to the village in 1956, I found her and went to her little gigs. I knew her well and always loved her work.

How fortunate you were, Mike Schiffer... she is just marvellous. Touches my heart in so many ways, I'm crazy for her.

[@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885]

What a lovely story - thanks for sharing.

[@lairderien8343]

Belle histoire. Paris est triste maintenant et depuis longtemps. On ne voit plus de belles artistes de jazz comme miss Blossom Dearie. J'aimerais quitter Paris pour quelques temps et voir ce qu'il se passe à New York.

[@tiffsaver]

What a story!! I think they should make a movie about her. The more the years go by, the more I love her.

[@theoldbroadsdog2638]

Great story and thank you for your service. It was a much different time, wasn't it?

[@alanoneill3065]

I have a continually growing admiration...I was used to seeing her on UK TV in the 60's as a teeneager...kinda took her her for granted then ...old stuff...finding out all the time....

[@cindarellas.4002]

We will always love you Blossom ❤😢and we miss your physical presence on earth. Deeply grateful for your recordings.🙏🏽

Un être qui possède une voix pareille ne peut être que douceur et gentillesse. C'est sans doute ce caractère et cette sensibilité accrue qui lui ont fait attendre 40 ans, s'occupant de ses trois enfants d'abord, pour se lancer ensuite dans une carrière musicale. Grand bien lui a pris, pour notre plus grand plaisir à toutes et tous. Elle laisse un héritage majeur à la musique du 20ème siècle, en particulier au Jazz et au Be Bop.

La douceur et le swing de Chet Baker dans un petit bout de femme adorable.

[@jamesjoetomo]

This one is an extremely fine piece

[@foli8730]

Great to watch this. Such a good piano playing and her pitch was amazing.

[@laurentboireau1248]

C'est si bon!

[@joanapradomedeiros6806]

Absolutamente apaixonada por Miss Dearie. Magistral, toca o coração feito plumas na alma. Ela é eterna.

[@drjukebox]

The totally swinging and adorable Blossom Dearie. With that funny accent. Happy times.

[@MrAb2c]

quelle voix, je ne m'en lasse pas de l'écouter

[@GoingPlaces-i9n]

So true! And it stayed beautiful til very late in her life. She will be missed.

[@BananeHammond]

🌹 merci pour le partage ... elle est magnifique

[@toshiohayashi4606]

Blossom's voice is suitable for French language.

[@MrAb2c]

quel charmant petit accent, plein douceur, eh oui c'est le printemps !

[@aroseyglow]

Je l'adore! So Classy.

[@zunzemma]

wonderful.......Merci!

[@dogranch]

this is so beautiful

[@michelewable4377]

Mon mari, à l'époque mon fiancé, me chantait cette chanson

[@mahthah]

How lovely! What a wonderful chanteuse?! A rare thing to hear, especially these days... Thank you so much for posting such fabulous music by such an extraordinarily talented artist!!

[@MARIE.VILLON]

Trop mignon !! so cute!!

[@sbru7766]

Wow! Didn't know these existed until now...thank you!

[@jetsabo]

absolutely lovely

[@peetminer]

Thank you so much for both of the Blossom Dearie videos you put up. Priceless gems!

[@Meyertune]

Oh mon ami Chris, how perfect of you to find this. Makes me tear up. And Heart of My Heart -in French, no less. Parfait! Merci mille fois.

[@mariedelphine2747]

Bonjour Mr

[@thomascoppola582]

Awesome talent. Today's singing stars don't know how to play the chord changes to anything, much less jazz standards.

[@statesideqsod]

I don't know a word of French but it sure sounds like "It Might as Well Be Spring." Thanks for posting this video

[@fkd1963]

statesideqsod She recorded an album in the 50s sung mostly in French. Yes. It's Might as Well Be Spring.

[@DandyDon1]

Has this 1950s album been re-released?

[@mariedelphine2747]

Bonjour Mr

[@Jazzdog40]

Thank you! Any more? Can't get enough.

[@jahrodunyk6237]

Leschanteuses Echevelées BRAVO très sympathique interprétation, sympathique ensemble de jolies voix... Pardonnez-moi: je préfère la version de Blossom Dearie "douceur à croquer !" Combien de fois l'ai-je, l'avons-nous dansé au BC Blues à Lyon Place Carnot " "Feu Père André" du feu de Dieu tu me-nous manques tel 1 père ! André, + de 29 années de Rock-and-roll au BC Blues à Lyon... Ton royaume qui nous a conquis ! Encore MERCI ! Que Dieu prenne soin de toi comme tu as su nous aimer et nous conquérir !

[@Ecgwald]

So very very good. Now I know where Diana Krall gets some of her mojo. Krall even does a cover of "Peel Me a Grape" which Blossom covered in 1966.

[@jerryengelbach]

Unearthly beautiful, despite Blossom's less than perfect French accent.

[@flacovladi]

👍

[@junetynf]

Nice :-)

[@bush_bow]

Agitée comme un roseau dans la tourmente Tout m'énerve et tout m'irrite en ce moment Le monde me désenchante Par ce beau jour de printemps

[@laurenceleroy5630]

Bons français agréables

[@tigreadroit]

Probablement une bonne source d'inspiration pour Stacey Kent .

[@tooneatdeep]

"j'oublie dou" ! (bi-dou-bi-dou...) - what's wrong with her accent ? - that's how we should sing french ! - c'est le plus adorable accent que je connaisse

[@charlesmaeger6162]

Where can you find the English words to this song on KZbin or Google?

[@leschanteusesechevelees7127]

It might as well be spring (Richard Rogers) I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string I'd say that I had spring fever But I know it isn't spring I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented Like a nightingale without a song to sing O why should I have spring fever When it isn't even spring I keep I were someone else Walking down a strange new street And hearing words that I've never head From a girl I've yet to meet I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams Spinning spinning daydreams I'm as giggy as a baby on a swing I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud Or a robin on the wing But I feel so gay in a melancholy way That it might as well be spring It might as Well be Spring

[@fghopkins]

[@lylecosmopolite]

Richard Rogers, c'est un peu le Joseph Kosma americain. Voici un de ses plus beaux aires.

In spite of limited vocal gifts, she does extraordinary performances.
