When I was 4 or 5 I wanted to sing like Big Momma, the owl from the Fox and The Hound. (It never happened, I can't sing at all.) But it made me fall in love with Ms. Pearl and that was about 30 years ago!
@squirell1952 In black lingo and understanding, fool doesn't mean anything negative here. It means she was outrageously funny and daring in her deliverance of this song.
@squirell1952 I don't think that person meant it as an insult . They meant "she is fooling around and being funny" . In old days people would call a jester or someone that was entertaining a fool.
This made me laugh, not because it's bad but because she added a lot of spunk and personality as she was singing this song :D I love it :) Her and Peggy Lee owned this song :)
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!

Squirell1952, Trelle's meaning "fool" as a compliment.

Why is TrelleStar calling Pearl Bailey a "fool"? Then she says "She was truly
a jewel". Trelle seems the fool, not Pearl.

Pearl Bailey simply reminds me of good times, home, family. My sister saw her in person with that dark, beautiful skin.

The late Pearl Bailey is the birth of jazz blues and nobody in this era could match her. I miss you. Thanks for posting.

Shirley Bassey also rocks this song. Her version is worth checking out.
