  • 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!

  • Queen Latifah should play her in a movie!!! :)

  • 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.

  • @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 :)

  • I LOOOVE THIS VERSION BETTER. IT'S LIKE SPUNKY. HEY BIG SPENDAAAAR!

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

  • great track !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I don't give a damn if this is a song from the 50's or 70's or whatever, it's catchy and I like it!

  • Pop goes the weasel.

  • There isn't nearly enough Pearl Bailey on Youtube

  • @Marixpress2 VERY TRUE, someone posted her DON'T LIKE GOODBYES and i'm so glad, but it was removed

  • "a-da-da-da-da-Let me get right to the point..."

  • I've always loved Pearl Bailey....sweet raunchiness!

  • 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.

  • Thanks for posting!!!!

  • i never knew that pearl sang this song, i love her version and peggy lee's version... i wish somewhere anybody have a duet of this two divas

  • Pearl is a fool lol, Love her version. She was truly a jewel.

  • @TrelleStar A jewel like no other in this or ANY lifetime. There is only one Pearl Bailey.

  • @TrelleStar  She still is... there will never be another.
