Yes - very sad. She was special. She had all the necessary attributes of an international class jazz artist, time, touch, feel etc. but possessed that extra ingredient that sets her apart - total uniqueness.

I remember hearing Blossom at Ronnie Scotts in the late 60's.
I just loved her, and her wonderful sweet voice.
RIP.
Hil mentioned hearing Blossom Dearie at Ronnie Scott's
My first "non trad" LP was Blossom Time at Ronnie Scott's. I now also have the official CD released a few years ago
Blossom voice was that of a female Chet Baker - a one off!
