Pearl Bailey (singer/comedienne) 1960

[@PecanSandees23]

Hello Dolly has an overture because of Pearl Bailey. Her husband Louis Belson wrote it for her. You MUST hear her Broadway recording of Hello Dolly; it's wonderful!!

[@Wixom2200]

I love Pearl Bailey. Superstar!

[@brandonmackey5209]

Pure class and a diva ..... awwsome!!!

[@d.g.164]

One of a kind voice. Big and powerful enough to belt on broadway while still soft and and lush enough for the smoothest of jazz songs. If that wasn't enough, she had UNMATCHED comedic timing. FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!!!!!!

I'm delighted that my kids have been introduced to the delicious experience of Ms. Pearl Bailey.

[@beckyzaugg8513]

An Entertainer with genuine original talent.

[@leonardwilsonsr8198]

One of the ALL time greats

[@richardgornalle4536]

I saw her live in Las Vegas early 1970's. She was wonderful. A truly unique singer and personality.

[@susancain8505]

The lady was a one woman conversation. Could talk you under the table such a character and a delight remember her well.

[@craigdavis4265]

We need a Miss Pearl Bailey movie.Miss Queen Latifah would be the right person for her autobiography man.Make it happen Miss Pearl Bailey story.

[@Capwell83]

I have always thought the same..

[@ddburrows988]

Haha! I thought that I, alone, came up with that brilliant idea back in the 1990's!

[@tarlcabot3616]

Pearl and Moms Mabley need a movie so this generation not forget them.

[@adoris864]

She needs to have an Unsung. She was underrated.

[@idesdemona2336]

Not at all. She was a huge, huge star. And her terrific talent was adored second only to her wonderful presence. This woman was a force of nature and pretty much anyone alive at the time knew it.

[@PtolemyJones]

@@idesdemona2336 I agree, I see 'underrated' misused so much on the net. Pearl was HUGE when I was a kid, Known and loved by millions upon millions. Now forgotten, that's a different thing, and some huge stars have gotten forgotten. Danny Kaye comes to mind...

[@evonza4858]

she was underappreciated by white America ❤️🖤💚#she still is and we still are black excellence 🥰❤️🖤💚

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

Look *just say you know NOTHING about her but Don't disrespect her* with that word "underrated". Pearl Bailey was a Huge star and very Famous. She was highly recognized and awarded a Tony Award for her Broadway performances.

[@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496]

@@evonza4858 *She was NEVER underappreciated or underrated.* You all don't know anything about Pearl Baily Or her Legacy. Always *assuming and throwing the word "underrated" around Disrespecting these Highly-rated Legends.*

[@craigdavis4265]

Miss Bailey is just laugh out loud a mess man. She is the type that will have you cracking up all night.

[@craigdavis4265]

She is really an awesome national treasure my friend.

[@johnnowakowski4062]

Where do you you get entertainment like this today?...

[@holdyourhats]

God stopped making this kind of talent.

[@Ursaminor31]

No, it simply isn’t shown or shared anymore, unless it’s a s@tamic ritu@l. True human talent will return.

[@craigdavis4265]

[@KingTriton1837]

God, I love Pearl's voice!!!!

[@SWSimpson]

I remember her. I don't know how, I was born in 1963, but what I don't remember is how funny she was.

[@ginadyson4214]

[@leeinvegas]

I saw her in person in Detroit

[@yagirlcheetos]

leeinvegas were you alive between 1918-1960?

[@LawndaleLancaster]

!!!!!!!!!!

[@artisttemple8268]

A class act!

[@ythegreat6754]

The acts are "C'est Magnifique" and "Five Pound Box of Money". Color version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emXJpoyDqK2blZI

[@carolvogelman5261]

She wants a five pound box of money! I love that woman! My little grandma, like Pearls daddy she was half NA

[@carolvogelman5261]

And when she went to the stage door of Hello, Dolly after the show, when she saw Pearl, she gasped "Oh, Pearlie Mae!" And Pearl enveloped her in a big embrace! In her heart, Grandma was who she was playing to! The salt of the earth; both of them!
