this song is really awesome. pearl bailey is... i didnt know about her at all, and stumbled upon her. yes i am young, but i loves the bluesy-folkie-jazz sound. :]
I remember this one from my teenage years(except teenagers hadn't been invented then, we were just inbetweeners)
Pearl along with Nellie Lutcher, Stan Kenton,the young Sinatra more than I can mention here . Yes we were HIP b4 the word was invented, then of course we had Dizzy and Be Bop the old Palais, like the one in Bury Lancs, Those WERE the days my friend we thought they'd never end, like all youngsters do, God bless em, and we didn't have drugs we got high on the music.
She went & Lost it at the Astor ? maybe " good little girls go to heaven but bad little girls go to - - - all those dens of iniquities ! anybody can put song titles to these classic Pearl B. lines ?
Most people alive today were born after she was really famous. "...Pearl Mae Bailey (March 29, 1918August 17, 1990) was an American singer and actress. After appearing in vaudeville, she made her Broadway debut in St. Louis Woman in 1946.[1] She won a Tony Award for the title role in the all-black production of Hello, Dolly! in 1968." In 1986, she won a Daytime Emmy award for her performance as a fairy godmother in the ABC Afterschool Special, Cindy Eller: A Modern Fairy Tale."
@MetryRoad This was played regularly on the radio in the mid 1940's as I remember hearing as a young boy. Think it was either The Arthur Godfrey or Jack Sterling early morning radio show I used to listen to while eating breakfast. Great rendition Thanks.
She was so good
