Blossom Dearie--My Gentleman Friend, Soon It's Gonna Rain, 1967 TV

[@glennwa1]

Blossom Dearie is absolutely one of the best jazz artists of the 20th century. Superb!

[@mlockey1]

What a wonderful rendition of Soon It's Gonna Rain. I saw her at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in the early 80s. She was absolutely fantastic.

Why did I hear of her only a week go? She's criminally underrated, her piano playing alone already.

I remember being in 4th grade, standing in front of the TV while my mom pinned the hem of the as yet unfinished skirt I was wearing, The Merv Griffin Show was on with Blossom Dearie performing. Both my parents were classically trained singers & we usually had opera or other classical music on. Mom mentioned Blossom's breathy, simple technique with some disdain, but even at age 9, I was hooked for life!

When I was a teenager, she was on TV often. I didn't get her then...but now...she's GREAT

[@pendafen7405]

There's something so chic, light, easygoing and disaffected about her playing and singing, a cool relaxed shrug with a smile in musical form. Like, "well, what are ya gonna do? Let's get a coffee."

[@xhaxha1028]

Her version of Soon It's Gonna Rain is the best ever performed that I've heard either live or on recording. Sublime!!!!

[@steveflor9942]

She really knows her stuff. Beautiful

I'm so glad I found these vidios of Blossom. I became a fan during the summer of Covid after discovering her on Spotify while sheltering in place. I quickly downloaded 4 Verve albums from Apple, all of which I'm keeping. My absolute favorite is: Blossom Dearie Sings Comden And Greene. I play these a lot.

Such a special talent...Soon its gonna rain....my goodness...She was ONE of a kind.

The epitomy of hip and cool, and as much as Francis.

[@jlernerz]

To be able to watch Blossom as well as listen is such a gift. Her distinct style has always drawn me into the lyrics being sung

[@bygonedaze7935]

yep, one of the best. great voice + great piano + great lyrics = blossom dearie

[@tobyworthington7924]

It simply cannot get any better than THIS

[@frankfeldman6657]

Never saw her with haircut. Love you, Blossom, miss you like crazy.

[@dcwalk4recovery2024]

Thank you for that childhood memory.

[@jazzyvocalfan]

The second song was especially gorgeously sung

[@theodoreelch2311]

jazzyvocalfan just great

[@mattiasjohansson3986]

Absolutely beautiful! Blossom Dearie was always great and this era might be the time when she did some of her best work ever. Thanks for uploading!

[@robfalgiano]

I love the high vocal trills at the end of "My Gentleman Friend." I don't think I've ever heard her do that before...

[@roywillis2750]
