Good grief, he is dazzling! Notice how even his posture, like Judy's, changes, when he plays her at the slightly heavier (and very attractive)weight she was at in "I Could Go on Singing."
He even coughs like her! Best of all, he does that daring turn where he puts his back to the audience, just as Judy did, when he open up on "...and I'll face the unknown..."
I've said it before, but, a slur and a messy lipstick application does not a Judy impression make. This is how the big boys do it
Does Jim Bailey sing "I'll Plant My Own Tree" from Valley of the Dolls? It would be interesting to see how Judy would have handled that song on stage.
I remember at Studio One's Backlot that Judy was singing requests & above all the others shouting out their favorites Judy heard me say,"By Myself" & sang it...for me!
Jim never lip synched anything. The video and audio are off in this clip.

Lip syncing, but at least he's using his own voice.

This is awesome! I am moving this clip up to the top of my favorites list. Thanks to the person who recorded this piece of Jim/Judy history.
