The post is a little fuzzy on the chronology of her career, which was well underway in 1963 when she recorded "May I Come In". That record actually marks the end of what many think is her golden period, which began in 1956 on Verve Records with "Blossom Dearie" (there were, I believe, 6 Lps on Verve in the late 1950s and early 1960s). She was basically always a cabaret singer, contrary to the impression you give in the post that this phase of her career began after School House Rock. She sang in Paris cabarets and in American nightclubs when she moved back to the U.S. in the mid-1950s. Her first three Verve records represent the apex of her recording career. "Once Upon a Summertime" (1958 I think) is probably the best single record she cut. Nice remembrance of Blossom.
