Blossom Dearie

I was a little sad to hear that jazz/cabaret singer Blossom Dearie died earlier this week. Blossom Dearie sang with a small, kittenish voice that would make you lean closer to your stereo speakers just so you wouldn't miss a word or inflection. Blossom Dearie sang lots of songs by Dave Frishberg. One of my favourites is "My Attorney, Bernie". Surprisingly there don't appear to be any YouTube videos of her performing but I did find the above. Perhaps listen with eyes closed to hear Blossom Dearie herself and then watch the video. It's quite hilarious.
