Blossom Dearie - Manhattan

[@kennethgross1993]

Blossom describes NYC as no one else can. Blossom is a 'trip'...........

[@margarethandasyde8652]

This singer reminds me of an era where audiences were prepared to be charmed and prepared to listen to extraordinary artists such as Blossom Dearie. Minimal Amplification/Jazz Piano= Enchanting result. Reserved,Dignified and sheer class.

[@philipkimber4403]

Within my lifetime actually - thinking of Marion Montgomery, Cleo Laine, Mel Tormé, but this time is over unfortunately. But we have the recordings.

[@MetroDuroc]

Blossom sings this song like she doesn’t want it to end and if you love New York you don’t want it to end either.

[@lawriefoster5587]

Thank you so much for this...here in 2022. Blossom evokes my Manhattan so perfectly. Pure Class..The city as I remember it.

[@alanoneill3065]

Very nice Blossom brought me to here...I think she REALLY captures a mood that depicts Manhattan...probably on a lazy sunday, which is seldom exposed...It seems to be typically typified as hustling and bustling , whereas Blossom....

[@user-20392]

This is so beautiful, Geri! Thank you for sharing

[@whyask1897]

She had a very beautiful and soft voice.

[@nealfig]

Wonderful footage and great recording.

[@user-nq9gz4xf7f]

This totally knocks me out. It brought tears to my eyes so subtle and beautiful

[@kingusmcgee]

Cleverly done. Like the Black and White video giving it the retro look of the 30's and 40's. Good taste in your music pick, a Rodgers and Hart 1930's classic played by the best cabaret/jazz performer.

[@alexgaudio8248]

Just perfection

[@100teresa1000]

Sweetly sung by Blossom like a meadowlark bird. Bravo!!!! Pretty Good!!!!

[@arlene1934corwin]

The best interpretation ever. Tempo, articulation, chords, general accompaniment and more. lots, indescribably more!

[@doddsalfa]

no jazz singer come close to Blossom Dearie,singing this song no one.

[@suntzu6122]

Blossom was something special. I named my cats Blossom Dearie and Chet Baker

[@dirkjost9798]

nice..

[@ciabattatom521]

I guess you can get away with that. I made the mistake of naming my son and daughter "Whiskers" and "HissyFit." It was decades ago, yet neither one has ever forgiven me. I suspect that's why they've put me in a "home" now. (Might have gone better if I had given the name "Whiskers" to the boy!)

[@Coowallsky]

Stunning

[@hydropolite]

Richard, Moss, Blossom & Geri. As good as it gets

[@hydropolite]

Excuse me. Lorenz, not Moss…

[@kriskat5]

No. thank you for introducing her to others who might not otherwise have known about her. I knew her when I was very young in London, she introduced me to jazz at the Ronnie Scott's club. I lost contact but will always remember her as a great artist and a wonderful human being. Thank you Blossom.

[@vivandav67]

thanks for bringing me to tears!! LOL two of my favorite things; New York and Blossom Dearie...this is beautiful!

[@FrankieBoyMaltaPrinz]

This jazz lullaby was photographed perfectly by you. You should shop this around some of the satellite channels for use as a video. This work of yours is lovely. It matches Blossoms singing and adds to it. I've seen this video of yours several times before leaving a comment now. I'm going to watch your others. You may have found your calling.

[@HammyWheeler]

I come back to this wonderful video from time to time - It is so charming. Thank you for honoring the music of Ms. Dearie and the little old town of New York City. Hope you've had more chances to visit NYC since this video was made!

[@yovni]

Oh God! The most goose-bumpy song of all time.

[@brigittegranberg3325]

Visiter New York grâce à Dearie, quelle chance !

[@MegaSnippezz]

I cannot wait to listen to this while waiting for the bus in heavy snow with the Christmas lights lighting up everything.

[@GeriRex]

+MegaSnippezz Sounds lovely.

[@Shottoru]

idk if i'll be able to see manhattan in my lifetime but this does the trick to soothe for now

[@Arqueiroify]

At long ago, I had a Girl friend and we danced Manhattan , for the first time . I did not forget the girl and the tune. Thanks .

[@StrawbsShadow]

This clip just oozes serenity, it's fantastic to escape to. Thank you.

[@SidFortune]

I found your most excellent video this morning in the middle of a rediscovering Blossom Dearie binge that began Saturday night. I'm deeply fond of Manhattan and Miss Dearie. With your hand held B&W and the music, you've posted a beautifully sophisticated valentine. My first NY show officed in Olympic Towers the skyscraper seen just behind St. Patrick's Cathedral near the end of your essay. Many thanks.

[@thpass]

so beautiful. i knew of blossom dearie thru schoolhouse rock (figure 8) and the melancholy "now i know." Thank you for posting this.

[@gabrielcarter8065]

This video is awesome, thank you so much for making it!

[@TheRudydog1]

What great taste you have Geri! Blossom Dearie and Manhattan..Perfection.

[@onserfdez7958]

So very nice. Smooth, cool and even gentle. Great Video! I'm there, searching for a soggy water dog and looking for a bookstore. Dang, I forgot my scarf.

[@daseinavextrax7804]

que tiempos aquellos hermosos 🤗🤗

[@geobog1]

Beautiful job, nicely edited, and your choice of Blossom Dearie was spot on. Congratulations!

[@OmLorna]

Woke up this morning to this version of "I'll take Manhattan". Alas, I found your charming little video. Thank you , so lovely.

[@bigguy43055]

Makes me pine for a simpler time. New York's cafe society in the 1950's. Real class!

[@eottoe2001]

Geri, I keep coming back to this video. Thank you for bringing back happy memories of NY. Make more videos.

[@friendlier]

Very nice video. Just literal enough. I can feel your quiet excitement at being there. And all topped off with Blossom Dearie!

[@ikonism01]

No one beats this version of Manhattan (imo)

[@joeheedy6493]

One of my favorites. You did such a good job at capturing this song.

[@onserfdez7958]

Makes me want to move to New York...but not in the winter! ha

[@michaelfallow5015]

Wonderful, wonderful and thanks from afar for the perfect simple pleasures of Manhattan pictured.

[@charlesdiago]

Love the video and your choice of music. I cannot believe I am lucky enough to live in this amazing city. I am grateful every day. Thanks for reminding me!

[@preguntenrespuesta5032]

Great taste for the music (Blossom Dearie!!) and the video. Congratulations!

[@bobbystrickland6693]

Just seeing this today. Stunning visually and musically

[@sclogse1]

Fabulous recording. Sounds like it was recorded yesterday. I have the albums (nowCD's) from the fifties...this is on them. You want to get them.

[@ABigOneLikeDaddys]

Lovely song. Note: the pretty pictures of many of yous, home town; don't for get to see Tokyo, or London Or Paris. Great places too. Even Blossom sang about London, in the rain. . o0o

[@lowellrieger5112]

Well done!

[@friendlier]

Nice. I know that kind of Manhattan Sunday, and you got it all in there. And the helicopter shots ... swoon.

[@mooner36]

Wow...exquisitely nostalgic!

[@RogerCMemos]

so very special Geri Thank u sharing.. hope all is well in your world! - roger

[@bush_bow]

My favorite "Manhattan" and "Tea For Two"

[@philipkimber4403]

...although Mel Tormé's version is also part of the history of this glorious song!

[@cc92103]

Terrific video and a great song. Nice to see my hometown, haven't been there since 1993!

[@pibroch]

Thanks - very enjoyable - makes me want to return.

[@JANXDPDX]

excellent!

[@ciabattatom521]

Came here for the music. I was not expecting the added treat of such a charmingly simplistic video. Unfortunately, I cannot play your upload as background music as planned. Every time, I am required to stop whatever I'm doing and watch. (I'm never going to get anything done!)

[@saritaplay85]
