Blossom Seeley

Blossom Seeley was a singer and entertainer.

Seeley was born Minnie Guyer, in San Francisco, USA. A top vaudeville headliner, she was known as the Queen of Syncopation and helped bring jazz and ragtime into the mainstream of American music. She introduced the Shelton Brooks classic Some of These Days in vaudeville in 1910, one year before Sophie Tucker recorded it in 1911. Seeley herself was a major recording star with a series of solo records in the 1920s, and her biggest hits included Way Down Yonder in New Orleans, Rose Room, Irving Berlins Lazy, Yes Sir, Thats My Baby and her signature song, Toddling the Todalo. She was also featured in two 1933 films, Blood Money with Judith Anderson, and Broadway Through a Keyhole with Russ Columbo and Texas Guinan.
