This review is from: It's a Great Feeling (Audio CD)

As far as song-stylists go, Pearl Bailey was in a league all by herself. She loved injecting elements of her own personality into every song she performed. Nothing was ever sung the same way twice, and her unique abilities are amply-showcased on this budget disc from Collectables.

The bulk of the numbers here are taken from Bailey's early recording sessions with Mitchell Ayres and Tony Pastor's orchestras ("He Didn't Ask Me", "Protect Me", "Mamie is Mimi"). Broadway standards and jazz specialties are the order of the day for this great disc, with Bailey's trademark quips and comments spicing up the mix.

Pearl Bailey enjoyed a great career in the jazz and supper-club scene; but also found fame on Broadway (starring in "St. Louis Woman", "House of Flowers", and "Hello Dolly!"). This collection of classic Bailey tracks will be a delight for all her fans.

I have recentaly purchased several Pearl Bailey albums. I think this is my favorite one. It has some great costars on it singing with Ms. Bailey. But her style and destinctive voice she steels the whole song. I'm glad I have it. You should get one also. This kind of talent. Can never be duplicated or repeated.
