ANDY WILLIAMS PEARL BAILEY

[Jlady43]

What a great performance Miss Bailey and original Andy Williams just class

[dggd]

Pearl...classy, elegant, gifted, and real downhome natural...all rolled in one. Miss her presence. No one's like that nowadays. Andy is just enjoying it all!

[barneymel]

She is the most under-appreciated singer of our time..

[bangitslo]

@barneymel TRUE ENOUGH.

[Blackjesus3]

@barneymel very true

[prettyred56643]

[TheMakeoverGuy]

joy...from a lot of hard work.

[TheMakeoverGuy]

[TheWoodsugar]

I must say...I'm a singer but I wish I could go back to these days when it seemed they had more fun, more creative freedom AND they didn't take themselves SO seriously. Everything seemed like a wonderful Jam session.

[Blackjesus3]

[lajazzhot]

[monkhillier]

[renofirvine]

my mom and i saw her at the lakewood center(calif) may company in 1972 talking about her book'pearl's kitchen'....

[ThankYouAndHello]

Pearl is hilarious

[dlowellray]

One 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.

[karinablacktie]

Thanks for the smile. What a delight. An absolute delight!

[julinhofromrio]

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.

[pianomanLS]

2 of my favorite entertainers, and my very favorite clip. They are so at ease here.

I'm so glad I get to watch this over and over! Thanks for posting!!

[colonelhall]

Absolutely magnificent. Pearl was a stunner. Her warmth and timing shine through here. Don't forget Andy. He could sing with anyone.A real talent!

[americangalbasseyfan]

@colonelhall Great comments. I adore Pearl.

[TheJazzStreet]

I LOVE YOU PEARL!

[bluewolf76]

[Kedz65]

I know what you mean! I must have watched this video 50 times in the past year. I never get tired of it and, like you, it makes me smile every time.....

[TheJazzlady40]

[lillybruce]

Charming! What a lovely soul Pearl was.

[Emyousmusa]

Has anyone notice that Hollywood is promoting more Nazis movies? There trying to humanize the nazises....

[gtb224]

Her timing is flawless.

[Waldo99]

Agreed, and Andy's is only a little bit better, but both are great.

[ardentstir]

@gtb224 Absolutely!

[ReddzVoice]

@gtb224: ABSOLUTELY!

Peace and love...

[doormatt2000]

Just look at Queen Latifah, there 's class in that Lady!

[mgaitens]

1963-Before the storm...

[Mongo76]

Pearl was so classy and sassy.

[STORMYB]

PEARL IS SO PRETTY!

[SaxPlaya4]

SOLID GOLD!

[mmgdavis]

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!!!

[ranhill]

2:40 when Andy hits that note before he stands up, Pearl looks at him as if to say, "Man! Where did THAT come from?!"

[joshsalamero]

I wish i was born on their generation Ella, Pearly Dinah, Andy, DSB... sigh... =(

[Bigewest]

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.

[Waldo99]

Agreed. Keep in mind this clip is from Andy's show in 1963, a long time ago.

[srvinfinity]

Have a' little spot in my brain. You know-----a Pearly Mae spot----Needs scrachin' everyday now. Thank God for the itch and I thank You Tube for the scratch. Oh, baby, that's it----just a' little bit to the right---AAhh!

[dggd]

Everyone loved Pearl Bailey. She was so magnificent, as was all of those women from that era, who possessed that natural warmth and down-home, folksy appeal that was reflected in everything they did whether it was show business or not. I miss them all.

[dggd]

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!

[Waldo99]

Andy shines here. He was amazing. Pearl was great too!

[Kedz65]

Classic! Why don't they make them like this anymore?

[glassdragonfly]

Pearl Bailey is glorious.  Not only is she a class act, she's fricken hilarious as well. These two are fabulous together and Andy looks so handsome :D

I think I was born in the wrong era.

[JustLeiLani]

This is a totally cute vid, thanks for sharing...

IDK why but I think its so cute when Mr.Williams bites his finger at 2:16 haha, he's so cute!

[callhermissross]

Simply wonderful!!!

[Radmanderman]

Andy was one of a kind. He as great. Pearl was as well.

[ramardo1994]

Pearl Bailey was a type of person that took a song and made it her own.

[CineGraphic]

How I love that woman!

[thecatatemyhomework]

Pearl Bailey was one of a kind. Those were great days. Thanks for posting this. Really enjoyed it.

[wedidntknow]

this is one of the most amazing videos in the world.

[Bangs09]

LMAO @ 0:39 "That's high class honey rolls right off my knife" lol she is the original MADEA!

[notsohotmom]

Wonderful! The rapport between two thoroughbreds in entertainment!

[felicia1882]

Great post. Thank you!

[Louie800]

I am absolutely impressed with Pearl B.

her timing with Andy were so cleverly delivered in perfect syncronisation. AMAZING!!

[wedidntknow]

i'm impressed with andy able to keep up with pearl and her genius.

[thumper3739]

What a man. His smile is unreal.

[littlebastard93]

I love this. Andy was HOT.

[changingeverymin]

THE STYLE OF THERE TIME IS NOW!

[Lungsandface]

this is my absolute favorite version of this song. i'm so happy i found this.

[mca1218]

"Oh, we are workin' for the money, aren't we?!"

Class and sass. Thank you.

[jayburlington]

Surely a class act!

[biggreen726]

They were so cool back then. Thanks for the upload.

[rockprettybaby]

Thanks SO much for posting this. Happy memories - great to see them both looking fab and having such a good time ;o)

[bea142]

Look at them - Dinah Shore, Andy Williams - all unable to keep straight faces singing with Pearl Bailey. But they tried. She's just too incredibly talented and funny. She could tell a joke with a straight face and continue singing as if she never stopped, while her co-star is laughing. It's so nice to watch. Both of them are incredible!

[bea142]

Her laugh at the end is priceless.

[noahsdad61]

marvelous! does anyone have a clip of her as Dolly??

[aotearoablossom]

All the fine looking folk were back in that era. Praise the Lord for genuine talent, fun and joy like this!!

[FrankPalmerWhite]

Amazing!

[iSTAYgully]

she is sooo funny, and i love her voice.

[aotearoablossom]

Shes just got gr8 quick wit.

Glorious!!

[claraquick]

I weep for the lack of fab entertainment like this today! Viva Andy Williams and his variety show magic! And Miss Pearlie, she's a gem indeed...thanks for sharing!

[Jasonstreamline]

Something about Pearl Bailey reminds me of Patsy Cline.

[msm2you]

NO ONE had her gift for patter - she could talk and then be right on beat to sing again.The lady has yet to get the accolade she deserved.

[dragoninja16]

thats my auntie!...ive got a lot to live up to.!!

[sakamoko99]

He was sexy as hell!

[gabsylv]

He sure was!

[BashaaniN]

I love her style... Pearl Bailey was like a female Louie Armstrong... She had fun with a song without underplaying her musicality...I LOVE IT!!!

[davidhazard71]

This was before her heart attack in 1964. Amazing footage!

[Tecobelli]

Am I the only person who thinks he's sexy?

[gabsylv]

NO!!!!!!!!!

[thecatatemyhomework]

I never thought so way back when, but now, looking at this, I do.

[Falcons66]

Dont scream in my ear! Too funny. I love it. Thanks for sharing!

[Macwannabe]

Too rich! Too rich!!!

[bigmamahattie]

pearl bailey keeps it real

[damone77]

Pearl was and is such an underated singer...she told it like it was!

[mgretche]

Please more Pearly Mae history. None better. Thanks

[millsbrothers]

I AGREE!!!

[Sacuya]

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!

ADded to favourites :)
