VINTAGE!
Hipster of the Moment:
BLOSSOM DEARIE
Who: American Jazz Singe/Pianist; popular during Big Band/Bebop era
D.O.B.: April 28, 1924
How Hip is She:
The song says it all. She's always on the scene. She gets her kicks watching arty French flicks with her shades on (no doubt, they were the ubiquitous Ray Ban wayfarers). When it was hip to be hep she was hep.
Dearie, known for her uniquely girlish voice, was a fixture in the jazz scene of the 1960s. However, among today's hep cats, she's probably best known for her single "I Won't Dance" or for her contributions to School House Rock (like the song, "Unpack Your Adjectives"). While Dearie passed away in 2009, she was still performing live up until 2006. There's no doubt that she was one hip lady.
