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!!
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!!!!!!
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.
@@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...
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.
@@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.*
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!

One of the ALL time greats
An Entertainer with genuine original talent.
The lady was a one woman conversation. Could talk you under the table such a character and a delight remember her well.
I'm delighted that my kids have been introduced to the delicious experience of Ms. Pearl Bailey.
I saw her live in Las Vegas early 1970's. She was wonderful. A truly unique singer and personality.
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.
I have always thought the same..
Haha! I thought that I, alone, came up with that brilliant idea back in the 1990's!
She needs to have an Unsung. She was underrated.

She is really an awesome national treasure my friend.
Pearl and Moms Mabley need a movie so this generation not forget them.
Miss Bailey is just laugh out loud a mess man. She is the type that will have you cracking up all night.

Where do you you get entertainment like this today?...
God stopped making this kind of talent.
No, it simply isn’t shown or shared anymore, unless it’s a s@tamic ritu@l. True human talent will return.
