JIM BAILEY as Judy Garland on awards show 1970s

[blackwhimsy]

This is why I hate 'modern' drag like you see in 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert."-the overdone makeup,the aggressive manner etc.You're never allowed to forget they're blokes. IMO drag is the art of creating an illusion of really BEING a woman. Jim is a total artist who really makes you believe he IS Judy.It isn't a caricature but an awesomely skilled,respectful tribute. THIS is the ART of drag as it should be done. Bravo Jim! Why he isn't a superstar is baffling. He's wonderful.

[SuperKauan]

he's astonishing!

Rufus is also great, but Jim rocks the bells!

Nice legs

I love Jim. I met him once in London about 30 years ago and he is still every bit as fantastic now as he was then.

I still cannot believe he was once married to Lucy Arnez. I still remember Lucille Ball introducing him on Here's Lucy in drag and making believe she thought it was Barbra Streisand. OMG.

[burffle]

Don't believe it because it is not true! Jim was NEVER married to Lucy Arnez!

[OneoftheImmortals]

burffle, I was so young at the time. I could have sworn they were married. Did the media ever report they were married?

[sandysoy]

Judy spent time with jim in 1968 i read it

[Dannyb82]

It's from the movie Summer Stock!

[Maasdam1993]

My favorit Judy song.... excellent performed here great.

[terry112354]

Whoever posted this video, thank you! Haven't seen talent like this in years. Jim Bailey's performance is unique and unforgettable. A producer in NY would be smart (and richer) by using Jim's talented gifts.

[donnaoday]

Terrific. I liked that the tempo and choreography were somewhat different from the original by Judy Garland, but similar enough to retain the same spirit.

[theatreboy1]

[burffle]

Jim & Liza actually recreated Judy & Liza's Palladium performancer in Vegas in the 70's...something to behold.

[Tegnsprog]

Was that recorded? Can you get it from somewhere?

[burffle]

I am not sure. You could go to Jim's website & ask him or his mgr. Stephen Campbell.

[rockne10]

Excellent this is from a judy movie i think....incredible
