| In the era of the Marilyn Monroe blond bombshell, Blossom Dearie was quietly driving men just as wild by being the innocently sexy girl-next-door. Her almost childlike voice is both unforgettable and uniquely recognizable and she has a way of captivating listeners in a way that only truly great singers can. The aptly titled Give Him the Ooh-La-La, recorded in 1957 for Verve, was Dearie's first release after returning home to NY after gaining popularity on the Paris vocal jazz scene, and is definitely one of her best. Here she sings standards like 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea' and Cole Porter's 'Just One of Those Things,' as well as some more surprisingly obscure material from her day, like 'They Say It's Spring,' 'I Walk a Little Faster' and 'The Riviera,' two Cy Coleman tunes. She also sings 'Plus je T'Embrasse,' in tribute to her days spent in Paris and also does her own piano accompaniment throughout. |
