What a pure lightning bolt of talent omg ❤️❤️❤️

[@Boomersdth]

He's got to be one of the greatest female in personators of all times His voice was incredible. Truly captures the essence of these peoples he's performing. God rest His soul

I read somewhere that when Judy saw Jim "do" her, she remarked, with her usual self-deprecating humor, "I had no idea that I was so pretty! 🌈

This is acting so Charles whatever take notes

[@shaneharris7284]

The fact he did this in a time where drag queens were so taboo and not accepted just proves he moved past those barriers like they weren’t even there.

[@xavierminchello8431]

JIM CONSIDERED HIMSELF AN ILLUSIONIST! NOT A DRAG QUEEN OR FEMALE IMPERSONATOR
