Once Upon a Summertime is an album by Blossom Dearie.

This is the third in a series of six albums recorded by Dearie for the Verve label.

The liner notes quote Dearie as saying "Norman Granz called and asked me to make another album with Tom Nola.

I could pick the songs and write the arrangements.

So, by twisting my arm a few times he seemed to persuade me to go ahead with it... even though I resisted stubbornly.
