I love this performance of two legends Pearl Bailey and Andy Williams in their prime. Though this is over forty years, it's speaks to true entertainment. When entertainment was all about show business. Both artists are no longer with us, lucky for us we have their memory and legacy left for us to bask in.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Where do you find your clips? You always manage to caught me off guard and surprise me. I wasn't familiar with either Pearl Bailey now Andy Williams. I'm so proud to see quality programming, and to say this clip is over 40 years old, says that regressing, because this clip is complete perfection. Thanks again for the post. Shori
I need to roll with you. The things you find musically, I'm alwaya amazed. You're musical tastes are out of this world. I would loveto know about your upbringing, you were exposed to such greatness. I guess you have your parents to thank. Thanks for posting this vidjo.
I wasn't that familiar with Pearl Bailey, but I thank you for posting this clip. She really reminds me of Queen Latifah. Maybe she should do her life story. Thanks for the introduction. Penny
Pearl Bailey was sooo good to watch..so much fun..so much talent... This clip with Andy Williams shows a bit o her immense talent and wit. As well as his.... A precious post. Tks. Julian
PURE CLASS!!!! look at that dress on ms. pearl classy!!!!!! no one entertains with class anymore and the few who do, well good luck finding them. great era, the best!!! dinah
Pearl really knew how to work her "magic"... so genuine, so natural. Andy is having the time of his life. I once read where her co-stars in any performance, never knew what she was gonna hit 'em with. She was so spontaneous and impromptu, giving them a joyous nervousness that they just laughed their way through. Pearl could take a scene to heights they hadn't imagined! She didn't need rehearsal...she was rehearsal's MAMA! Now that's what being a DIVA truly is!
I think Queen Latifah should play her. It's uncanny how much the two of them favor each other. I wonder if Queen Latifah ever got the chance to meet her. Dana Scot
Whew! What a great combo! Pearl has a very strong voice and with Andy´s soft voice they match perfectly in this song =) Thank you for another high-quality video!
CLASSIC!!!!

Its so nice to see blacks and whites together like this in a time where racism was at its prime. Andy seems like a really cool guy.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best pieces of showbiz I ever saw. I love these people. And they are as happy to be doing it as we are to watch it.
