Cabaret, jazz and swing singer/pianist Blossom Dearie entertained audiences with her unique, high-pitched, child-like voice for decades. She accompanied herself on piano and performed classic pieces as well as some original compositions. Her appearances on television, the nightclub circuit and the popular series of cartoon spots 'Schoolhouse Rock!' helped cement herself as one of the true originals.
