Title: Juste Une Question D'Amour
Description: Extracts from the Christian Fauré film "Juste Une Question D'Amour" starring Cyrille Thouvenin and Stephan Guerin Tillié, set to "Plus Je T'Embrasse" by Blossom Dearie. Laurent (Cyrille Thouvenin) is not being honest about being gay, he's trying to keep it a secret from his family who proved to be less than accepting with his cousin whom they ostracised. Laurent falls in love with Cedric (Stephan Guerin-Tillie) a confident scientific researcher who doesn't want to hide their relationship and wants Laurent to come out to his family which results in a rift that Cedric's mother (Eva Darlan) tries to heal by revealing Laurent's sexuality to his family. This is not a melodrama but a sensitively told and beautifully acted story about honesty and acceptance.

Title: Blossom Dearie Tribute
Description: Here is a lovely song performed by the delicious and gifted singer Blossom Dearie. Blossom Dearie (born in 1926 in East Durham, New York) is an American jazz singer. She is known for her distinctive, high-pitched, girlish voice. As a child Dearie studied classical piano but switched to jazz as a teenager. After high school Dearie moved to New York City to pursue her music career. Here she began singing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before launching her own solo career. In 1952 she moved to Paris and formed a vocal group, The Blue Stars. The group had a hit in France in 1954 with a French-language version of "Lullaby of Birdland". While in Paris, she met her future husband, the Belgian flautist and saxophonist Bobby Jasper. On her first solo album, released two years later, she plays the piano but does not sing. One of her most famous songs from that period is "The Riviera", written and composed by Cy Coleman and Joseph McCarthy, Jr. in 1956. Dearie's first recordings as a singer and pianist were made for Verve in the late 1950's and early 1960's, most often in a small trio or quartet setting. In 1962 she recorded a song for a radio commercial for Hires root beer. It proved very popular, so the LP "Blossom Dearie Sings Rootin' Songs" was released as a premium item that could be ordered for one dollar and a proof-of-purchase. In 1964 she recorded her best known album for Capitol Records, "May I Come In?", recorded, atypically for her, with an orchestra. During this same period Blossom performed frequently in New York supper clubs and honed her own distinctive style. In 1966 she made her first appearance at Ronnie Scott's club in London and quickly became a popular act. In 1974 Dearie established her own label, Daffodil Records, to allow her full control in the recording and distribution of her albums. Throughout her career Dearie has appeared on television, most notably giving her voice to the children's educational series "Schoolhouse Rock!". Many of her pieces in this series were written by her good friend, the jazz singer and composer Bob Dorough. Her distinctive voice and songs have been featured on the soundtracks of many films including "Kissing Jessica Stein", "The Squid and the Whale" and "The Adventures of Felix". She has also recorded with various musicians including Bob Dorough and Lyle Lovett. Dearie has continued to perform in clubs. As one of the last remaining supper club performers she still performs regular engagements in London and New York City. Enjoy Blossom's refreshing voice!

Title: Once Upon a Summertime (cover)
Description: Me trying to croon Blossom Dearie's "Once Upon A Summertime". Once upon a Summertime if you recall We stopped beside a little flower stall A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all You'd let me buy you. Once upon a Summertime just like today We laughed the happy afternoon away And stole a kiss in every street cafe You were softer than the flowers on the trees I was as proud as any boy could be As if they mayor had offered me the key To Paris. Now another Wintertime has come and gone The pigeons feeding in the square have flown Do you remember when the vespas chimed? You loved me once upon a Summertime.

Title: George Benson | Moody's Mood
Description: Singing, no guitar ... + + + + + + + + + + + + + Moody's Mood for Love ( original lyrics ) As recorded by King Pleasure (Clarence Beeks) Based on James Moody's rendition of "I'm in the Mood for Love" Lyrics by Eddie Jefferson, female vocal on different versions by Blossom Dearie, Betty Carter, Annie Ross and possibly others (He:) There I go, there I go, there I go There I go.. Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control Such a funny thing but every time you're near me I never can behave You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic There's music all around me, crazy music Music that keeps calling me so very close to you Turns me your slave Come and do with me any little thing you want to Anything baby, just let me get next to you Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes? Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies How I worry about you Just can't live my life without you Baby come here, don't have no fear Oh, is there a wonder why I'm really feeling in the mood for love? So tell me why stop to think About this weather, my dear? This little dream might fade away There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby Won't you come and put our two hearts together? That would make me strong and brave Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid If there's a cloud up above us Go on and let it rain I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane Oh my baby Won't you please let me love you And give a relief from this awful misery? (She:) What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet? I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before Can't you understand me? Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon My soul's on fire, come on and take me I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet (He:) Oh baby, you make me feel so good Let me take you by the hand Come let us visit out there In that new promised land Maybe there we can find A good place to use a loving state of mind I'm so tired of being without And never knowing what love's about... James Moody, you can come on in man And you can blow now if you want to (Both:) We're through. + + + + + + + + + + + + + Moody's Mood - Lyrics There I go, there I go, there I go pretty baby you are the soul that snaps my control Such a funny thing but every time I'm near you I never can behave You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic Music all around me crazy music music that keeps calling me very close to you turns me into your slave come and do with me anything you want to and let me get next, just let me get next to you And I do usually see I really see heaven in your eyes bright as stars that shine up above you in the deep blue sky How I worry about you, I just can live my life without you baby, come here don't have no fear Oh, is there wonder why I'm really feeling in the mood for love So tell me why stop to think about this weather my dear their sweet dreams might fade away there I go down night at my heels I'm in the mood for love + + + + + + + + + + + + + From Wiki, some word about this incredible song: "Moody's Mood for Love" is jazz saxophonist James Moody's instrumental solo on the song "I'm in the Mood for Love." Later, jazz singer Eddie Jefferson wrote lyrics to this improvisation by Moody. This particular arrangement of the song did not come to be known by its now common title of "Moody's Mood for Love" until King Pleasure released a very popular vocal version in 1952. King Pleasure's version included vocals by Blossom Dearie as well as instrumental contributions from Teacho and Band. Other artists who later released renditions of the song include George Benson, Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Quincy Jones, Tito Puente, Amy Winehouse and Georgie Fame. The TONY award-winning musical Jersey Boys featured the song. The song also has been featured on an episode of The Cosby Show, as well as in an early 1990's Gap television commercial. In 2006, American Idol contestant Elliott Yamin remade the song. His version appears on the album American Idol Season 5: Encores. This version just missed the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number one on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The lyrics are often incorrectly attributed to King Pleasure because he was the first to record it. However, some sources report that when Pleasure was asked to write more lyrics to solos he confessed that he had not written this one. He had heard Jefferson perform it in a jazz club some years before and asked permission to reproduce it. James Moody later hired Jefferson to come on the road with him. Jefferson also appears on several recordings with Moody (...)". .
