She was born, Margrethe Blossom Dearie in East Durham, near Albany in upstate New York in 1924, and with a name like hers it seems only natural that she should become a star; added to which Blossom was a one off.

She studied classical piano as a child, before switching to jazz as a teenager. She joined Woody Herman’s vocal group, The Blue Flames, having moved to New York shortly after the end of the Second World War; she later joined the Blue Reys, the singing group with Alvino Rey’s band.

By 1952, Blossom was living in Paris, appearing in nightclubs with singer Annie Ross. This was also the year in which she had her first – uncredited – hit with King Pleasure’s ‘Moody’s Mood for Love’, on which she sings. She formed a vocal group, the Blue Stars that included Michel Legrand’s sister, Christiane Legrand, and Bob Dorough. In 1954 they had a hit in France with a French-language version of ‘Lullaby of Birdland’, arranged by Michel Legrand. The Blue Stars later evolved into The Swingle Singers.
