A Blossom Fell

A Blossom Fell

"A Blossom Fell" is a popular song.

It was written by Howard Barnes, Harold Cornelius, and Dominic John and published in 1954.

The best-known version was recorded by Nat King Cole. The recording was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 3095. The B-side was "If I May." The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on April 27, 1955 and lasted 20 weeks on the chart, peaking at #2. [cite book

] (Note that in this era, Billboard combined data for both sides of two-sided hits, so the #2 status applies to the combination of "A Blossom Fell" and "If I May").

A cover version by Ronnie Hilton, also recorded in 1955, charted in the United Kingdom, reaching #10 on the UK Singles Chart. British singer Dickie Valentine's version appeared on Variety's juke box listing.

The song also featured in Terrence Malick's 1973 film Badlands.
