Blossom Dearie appeared on BBC TV with John Lennon in 1967, inspiring this song, the first ever Lennon tribute song. You can find a lively profile of her and her thoughts about this song collected in a book by a fine writer, Whitney Balliett, called AMERICAN SINGERS. That's where you find out Blossom Dearie is no stage name: that, and Margrithe, is what her birth certificate said.
