"I have never been a singer who could stand up and sing like a theatrical singer. I sit down, and I've always used a microphone. I have a kind of microphone technique." -- Blossom Dearie



The style of the great Blossom Dearie

Has always made some people leery.

But her shy little voice

Was a personal choice,

And shouldn’t be subject to query.
