YES ✨
MRS.PEAL ✨BAILEY ✨💐
Queen Latifa is her twin
She was so amazing. I pray that she's in a better place along with her husband and two children. God created us for a reason | Life goes on or Jesus would not have died on the Cross.
Succinctly put. Wish I'd developed this knowledge 30 years ago! And she is beautiful. 🎉
Look at those eyes, cheekbones, her nose, lips, and her chin. She's drop dead gorgeous!! 💅🏾💃🏾
I agree. Reminds me of Megan Thee Stallion!
So beautiful
@@Kraypaper Queen Latifah is a spitting image of her.

@@leonakinglion3210 I c that a lil ok
Pearl was an amazing talent and doesn’t get the flowers that she deserves. Thanks for showcasing her, Karine.
still waiting for Queen Latifah to play her in a biographical film.
@@vanaphill2454 me too! The resemblance is uncanny.
Facts,💯🗽
@@mamadouaziza2536 she sure was giving her flowers when she was alive this generation doesn’t know about Pearl Bailey. This generation doesn’t even think about googling are looking up the old school singers and actresses of color for the 1940s 50s 60s 70s hell even the 80s
@@vanaphill2454 yess I definitely see Queen latifah performing as her.
As a kid she was on television a lot and I loved her. She could sing and act like crazy. She was one of those rare performers who could make you laugh one minute and cry the next. Thanks for this video.
Beautiful and talented Black woman. She was born in my hometown. We have a library and other historical sites named after her. May her legacy continue to live on. 👑💛💫
American Indian
So many of them were mislabeled
@@BlackberryTitties she's still black. American Indian is not a race, it's a nationality/ethnicity. You can be a black native American or a white native American. And I'm positive this lady has African lineage
@@BlackberryTitties Keep believing that.
@@serious7179 Exactly.... like Pam Grier.... look at her Pam Grier real good... high cheek bones narrow nose full lips.... and tall.... plus she's from South Dakota.... half black half Native American
Always thought her and Queen Latifah looked so much alike! I love them both. Pearl Bailey is so underrated. She definitely paved the way
Yes!!! And Meg Ther Stallion a bit in some photos
Same🌹
She said it a few times on Living Single. The resemblance is crazy. I hope Queen can play her in a biopic. 🤩
I agree! 👍
Same.
If and when they do a movie about her, Queen Latifah is the woman to play here. She has all of pearl Bailey's charisma!
Yes, they really favor each other.
Her husband was the Best Man at my Parents' Wedding. He was from the Quad Cities area of Illinois as was my mom. She was in NYC and went to see him playing at a Jazz Club, where she first met my Dad who was also in the band. Her husband was a sweet heart, and passed away on Valentine's day some years back.
Louis Bellson changed my life. I've been playing drums since I met him in 1962
Wow ❤❤❤
@oddjobs3025 ❤❤❤❤🎉
She deserves everything she got and more. She worked really hard to get where she was
One of my Aunt & uncle's knew each other a week & got married. They died six days apart 60 years later. No joke. Crazy ain't it. I miss them 🥺
Beautiful. Your Aunt and Uncle were soulmates.
@@delnitasims3693 I think that exact thing! They were good decent people. A little piece of home for me 😇
Do you know their birthdays? I work with an Astrological Matchmaker company and seeing how if there are any patterns.
@@AN-fg4cd I will find out and let you know.
@@AN-fg4cd his birthday was 2/4/31 hers was 9/6/34. Let me know what you find out please. I love astrology but I don't know a lot about it. I'm really curious to see what you can find out so be sure to let me know please 😇
This was a nice treat, thank you for covering her. I'm 56 & she was a very present force while I was growing up. She was definitely a multi tasker & hustler. Pearl Bailey was a household name back in the day no matter what culture you came from. So talented & beautiful. I always thought Queen Latifa would be a great choice to play her in a biopic.
I can see it yup
The entire time watching this I thought about how Queen Latifa resembles her!
They do favor one another
Queen Latifa does look like her!❤
That would be perfect 👌
Pearl Bailey had a style all her own and I doubt there will be any such dynamic performers again. She exemplified a timeless persona at a time when society was more civilized. An original who can never be duplicated.
Her voice and style was and is iconic
Right ☺✅

This was so wonderful to see. My grandmother knew her in Philadelphia . Ms Bailey use to watch my father when he was a toddler. She use to joke and ask my grandma could she have my dad and take care of him. My dad use to tell my grandmother “I could have grown up rich if you let her have me”. I use to always hear how nice she was. Thank you for sharing ❤
This cracked me up! But what an awesome part of Ms. Bailey your father will always have! How cool is that?!
Great comment and thanks for sharing. Peace from the UK 🇬🇧.
What a lovely part of your family history. Isn't it wonderful that your father was taken care of by such a positive person? Thank you for sharing, and may God bless you and your family.
How cool!
She baby sat my father too on van pelt street in Philly !
I can't help thinking that Queen Latifah reminds me so much of Pearl Bailey based on what I remember about Pearl as she performed during her hey day.
P.S. Another performer I used to watch and listen to back in the day was Moms Mabley. Looking forward to a profile of her life and performance history.
Somebody needs to check the DNA between Pearl Bailey, Queen Latifah and Megan Thee Stallion. You can’t tell me all three women are not related 😆!’
I was looking for someone to say it. Especially at 2:54
Exactly I said the same thing
@@kalainashaw423 facts
Facts 😂 they look so much
Thanks for this - Pearl was one of the GREATS, and deserves to be known and remembered for all time...
Pearl was quite the humanitarian … the talent was a bonus!! I grew up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where she owned a home. She was a treasure and a treat to run into. If you saw her in the grocery store, library or anywhere, she often was the one to strike up the conversation 😃 Always complimenting everyone, engaging with the children. She’s dearly missed, world wide! She did the coolest thing for that lil AZ town, left an arts foundation that benefits everyone. Even purchased a portable stage the is still in use, all these years later. Feel very fortunate to have benefited by her presence!!!
Lmfao “it’s too high for me to sing.. it’s too high for you too” 🤣
She was so comedic 😂😂 I would die to have experience one of her shows
@@KarineAlourde 111
@@KarineAlourde These celebrities are hard up for attention nowadays. That is Queen Latifa. Same entity and most of the script written about her is made up to grab the love of P O C Divine Sade here on YT is where you can find the truth about Pearl Bailey.
💀💀💀
Beautiful, mega-talented Ms. Pearl Bailey we love and miss you. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
She's gorgeous. I remember my grand dad was so in love with her. We played her rendition of "Precious Lord" @ his home going ceremony. My grand mom would often say the only woman She's ever had to worry about when it came to her husband, was Pearl Bailey. I really enjoy your docseries on famous beautiful women. It makes me appreciate how wonderful we are. Were truly a gift from GOD.
This is such a beautiful comment. It's so nice to see and lifted my heart up this morning...I love Jesus with all my heart and this is the first time I've heard it called a "home going".That's truly what it is! God Bless, RuVonne:)
Sounds like you're parents had awesome relationship.glad they could laugh 😂 at his crush 🥰
Awesome story 🙏❤️
Beautiful family story. ❤
Wow impressive, after all that she went to school for 7 years ! She was very accomplished in all fields. Music, acting, fashion, entertaining, theology, charitable contributions.
Im 65 years old. Always loved Pearl since i was a kid. But gosh, i never seen pics of her when she was young woman. She was absolutely beautiful.
Megan Thee Stallion or Queen Latifah would be perfect to cast in a story about Pearl Bailey's life.
No! Not MTS! That sex trick hoe!🤮 Could never compare to the incomparable Mz Pearl!
PEARL BAILEY WAS A LEGEND IN HER OWN RIGHT AND I ALWAYS LOVED HOW SHE SANG WITH HER STRONG SULTRY VOICE THAT CAPTURED YOU!!😄
Never knew her name 📛 until today
Ms. Pearl was smart to let love into her life. Beautiful woman. Thank you for covering her.
Growing up in Philly Ms. Bailey was/ is an honored icon to our city. We always gave her her flowers. Her home in Philly is registered as a Historical Place.
Wow what a woman. Thank you for introducing me to Pearl.
She looks just like Queen Latifah
My late mother adored her, and I became aware of her as a child. so ICONIC is she, that it is sooo sad many of the new generation youth know little OR nothing about her. One of the GREATEST PERFORMERS who ever lived to grace a stage ....... Beyoncé, Janet, Rihanna???!!! She was the FIRST and GREATEST."""" 🙏 RIP ~
She accomplished a lot. I'm so proud of her
I think Queen Latina looks just like Pearl Bailey
Latifah.... Yes they are very similar
Latifa, yes 🙌🏽 I always thought this 😍
Oooh I see it now 😮 she does
OMG! I thought so too!
I was thinking Taraji P. Henson at first, but yes now I see a closer resemblance to Queen Latifah.
I originally knew Pearl Bailey’s face because of her beauty. I learned that she was so much more, she definitely deserves her flowers.
You can see he adored her. She was beyond amazing
She was beautiful and very talented. The women of her era had so much CLASS.
Queen Latifah looks so much like Pearl in her mannerisms and fabulous personality. ♥️🙏❤️💕
yeah scary how much almost like a clone
She could play her in a biopic
I could see Queen Latifah playing her in a biopic
Bellson was actually Italian American. He did remarry after Bailey died, to another black woman, Francine Wright. Bailey was an amazing woman...and funny! (And beautiful...I love all the pictures you have of her in this video. I'll watch it again just to see all those photographs!) Thank you for sharing 💖
Yes I read he remarried
Italian American..what race is that..European
@@tajuanalawson8219 His birth name was Luigi Paolino Alfredo Francesco Antonio Balassoni. I believe he was first generation American, and his Father was from Naples Italy. It's an interesting question. Actor Andy Garcia was Exiled from Cuba with his family when he was five years old. He has stated that he spoke no English when he came to this country. Is he Cuban, or Cuban American?
Thank you for delving into the life of this dynamic woman. I am in awe of so many of our black starlets of yesterday year. I was born in 1960, so I do remember watching many of them on TV and hearing about them from my parents. Thanks for giving them life in a new generation.
This was very interesting. If they do a movie about her I can definitely see Queen Latifah playing her cause so many of the pics of her you included in this she reminded me of Queen Latifah a lot. Great job! 👍🥰
I am Born and raised in Newport News, VA. She has a library named in her honor. The other great Lady Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Vick were born here too. I'm glad to see you do a video on such a overlooked gem of a woman from an overlooked town. Definitely check out her quotes as well she had a hell of a lot to say worth listening to..❤️✨
Same here! Amazing history we have in Newport News.
Anyone else laugh to yourself when non-native Hampton Roads say Norfolk?
Even after years in the Midwest,
I'll always hear the radio announcement "From Norfuk to Suffuk and all you fuks in between "!
@@tbella5186 gets me laughing every time 😁
Wow!! same here Newport News born and raised on the playground is where I use to spend of my days.Chilin out maxin n relaxing shooting some b-ball outside the school
Thank you for the information 👍
I had the priviledge of watching this fine lady perform outdoors in Charleston SC. It was so hot that night. Everyone looked made of glass because everyone was soaked in sweat. No one wanted to leave. What it was like for Ms. Bailey under the lights, I cannot imagine. She handled the broiling conditions like a true pro, with charm and humor. She sang "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" with a slight change to the lyrics, Sweat Gets in Your Eyes. She was allowed to head for more comfortable surroundings with ac and a cold drink to howling laughter and a storm of applause.
I just loved seeing this. I grew up watching her. She was on tv alot in the 60s & 70s. So talented & nice.
Is it me, or, were people back then just prettier! She’s flawless! I look at my Mother and Grandmother..just classic beauty. Good skin, dress and overall style ❤️
I notice that too
They looked authentic, but nowadays due to similar cosmetic procedures people do look similar
Queen latifah resembles her, she’d be great in a biopic.
I swear whenever I see Pearl Bailey, it makes me think of Queen Latifa, and that is a compliment 💯. The self confidence, mannerisms, voice, it's awesome to me!! The looks are there too!!
She was an Aries. Multi- talented. Beautiful, strong black woman with the guts to live her truth. To live and love with great passion. An Aries trait though is to not take care of their hearts. So many of them have this weakness. But as any bright light, it can't shine forever. At least was have her on film. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
So was Sarah Vaughn
Eish so true about us Arians. Love me some Pearl Bailey ❤
Wow. She is a PRESENCE!
I knew very little about her until now. Absolutely stunning. I’ll definitely be listening to her.
Pearl Bailey and Eartha Kitt look like they could be related. Sisters even. Absolutely gorgeous and so talented
who looks like her is queen latifah
@@greggnuccio9437 she does too yes I agree.
Her brother was the first dude I ever saw moonwalk, in Cabin in the Sky. I love her voice.
Ms. Bailey possessed a superior talent. I was raised in her heyday and always felt she never received the accolades she deserved. RIP Queen💜
Pearl Bailey was a phenomenal woman with many talented and she was so ahead of her time period.
Ooh she was pretty 😍! Also sis, I’ve been dying to ask you this have you consider doing a video on Garcelle Beauvis? She’s so pretty, Fancy!
Yes sis she’s on my list for 2022! So before the year ends ❤
Thank you for highlighting the life of Mrs. Pearl Bailey. I really enjoyed all of the old unseen pictures of captions of her in her art form. Beautifully done. I was blessed to see her in 1971, in "Hello Dolly," When my mother took me to see her. They both shared the same birthday, so of course, she was in love with Mrs. Bailey. My mother was so much like Mrs. Bailey.. The same characteristic of a hard working, determined lady that took NO MESS from anyone. But, Always a lady.
I still remember that great performance as if it were yesterday. Again, Thank You for those great memories of Mrs. Pearl Bailey, Mr. Nat King Cole, Count Bassie, and Diana Shore, whom really was black. It was discussed in articles that her father was probably White, just as Carol Channie? All were great actors, singers and actresses. I miss all of their talents.
Thank you for the positive write-up on Pearl. I grew up in the home where "that man" shot at her. Pearl sold the house to my folks - her signature is on the deed. The hole was still in the wall in the master bedroom. Channing Street in the Brentwood section of Washington DC. Belson did remarry - another black woman. There is lots more I could tell you but not in an open forum. Really appreciate the positive write-up/video. Queen Latifa is the only one to play Pearl. If you saw her in Chicago -- WOW!!
Rob Marshall who directed Latifah in Chicago said in an interview that Latifah is our Pearl Bailey.
Wow, that's very interesting
Can you tell me I’ll send my info I don’t have social media just TH-cam! I love history and learning about the lives of those that paved the way for US all!
Her four-day-husband
Looks like a decent guy. The way he looks at her says I love you.
Right before she passed back in 1990, she was on an episode of either tales from the crypy or amazing stories where she was like some kind of voodoo queen that would make these cookies that would cause people harm if you ate them, dipped them in warm liquid and so on but they would never harm the person that was eating them. That was the last I saw of Pearl Bailey before she passed away.
She sid the song Wont you come home Bill Bailey
I didnt know, she had a brother named bill bailey
Wow, thanks for this. I had forgotten about Pearl. I recall seeing her on the Johnny Carson show and of course in a few movies. These people truly paved the way for us and did it with such class and dignity. Our twerking youth need to learn about the black entertainers from this period and how they conducted themselves.
Pearl Bailey was an amazing talent, I just loved her. Glad you are introducing her to a new audience ❤
She was sooooooo pretty.
4 days? I can't even do with a date alone 💀 this going to be interesting for sure. Thank you for the video Karine, interested to learn about Pearl Bailey and her life 😍
Thank you love! And their marriage actually lasted ❤😍
Haha, my parents met on the day they signed the marriage papers, their 21st anniversary is on this Christmas Eve...
@@KarineAlourde girl taking notes 📝 here 😆
I wonder if it was a healthy marriage.
Desperate times.
Omg I’ve always loved Pearls voice and what a beautiful lady she was! ❤️
I love how you keep all of our people alive with these in depth videos ❤
She was definitely a person I grew up watching as a kid I was fascinated with her. I am 55 now and I didn’t realize then like I do now how incredibly beautiful she was. I love this thanks for sharing
Thank you for this wonderful bio on Pearl Bailey. Had the opportunity as a child to see her in Hello Dolly. Even at a young age her commanding presence on stage & her voice made a impact on me then. So honored to have seen her perform.
I'm a drummer. My dad took me to see Louis Bellson when I was a kid. We sat in the front row and he gave me a pair of his sticks. He was suck a kind man. You will NOT find anyone saying anything bad about him. She was the love of his life.
*such
maybe it's just me, but Pearl Bailey and Queen Latifah look so much like each other I'd swear Queen was Pearl's granddaughter!
Aren't they both from Philly?
I have three of her albums in my record collection that my father left me I have about 600 plus albums and I was looking through them and found three of her albums I couldn't believe it and I'm so excited so glad that you did a documentary on her because she was an awesome woman and an awesome singer she had a voice of Her Own thank you for sharing her with us
This was interesting but was very difficult to understand what you were saying. I'll get her biography and read that.
Dad left you a part 〽️ of history 👍
One album I have from my parents’ records is Pearl sings Gershwin. Played it constantly when I was a teenager.
Ms. Bailey, I say respectfully, having been a peer of my parents, was an underrated, GOD giffted, talented, gorgeous, earthy actress!!!!!! Ms. Pearl was a witty, well balanced, spirited, jovial, sassy soul!!!! Ms. Bailey was everyone's favorite entertainer, my parents, their friends, everyone during that era, truly adored Ms. Baily, she was in a class of her own!!!!
I knew Louie in the late 90s/early 2000's through the Stanford Jazz Workshop and he joined the Stanford Jazz Band on a 2000 tour of Europe. One of the most amazing drummers, and I don't think he ever really got over Pearl. He always spoke of her with great love and respect. However, he did remarry sometime in the 90s, to another black woman who was a physicist. Her first name escapes me (started with an F) but she was on the tour with us as well. He was a generous teacher - my son got to take a workshop with him and more than 20 years laters is till saying Louie was a huge influence on his music.
You are quite correct about Louie being a generous teacher, an amazing musical artist, and a beautiful soul. His second wife's name was Francine.
I loved me some Pearl Bailey ❤ she was a beautiful lady and she always exuded confidence, and her voice was powerful yet soothing.
Yes for Mrs. Bailey. She did it all.❤️
I don’t think it was mentioned enough about how positively beautiful she was! Just flawless in my opinion. Of course, super talented to boot. ❤
Aww love her! Took a women in Jazz class in college 20 some odd yrs ago and fell in love with her voice! Lovely to see such beautiful visuals. Thank you and I absolutely adore and respect your channel!!😘
She was fabulous. I remember seeing her in Carmen Rose. I admire her amazing confidence and love for life. Despite such unfortunate circumstances.
Wow this women resembles my grandmother, has passed in the same hospital as my grandmother and is now buried at the same cemetery as my grandmother in West Chester. Wow I’m in awe❤
Oh wow what a coincidence. Was your Grandmother American Indian too?
@@arletah3080 my grandfather was Cherokee
He was born 1908
@@kiawas1 Nice. I watched an interview and she said her Father is Creek. My Grandfather's are Cherokee as well, Osiyo!

I love me some Pearlie Mae. Really miss her.She had it all Beauty, voice, talents out to the moon, she really had it all. Glad I grew up in a time she was available to be seen often.
Thank you for this highlight on Pearl Bailey! I have said for years that she has truly been an unsung hero in Hollywood and in our community. I would love to see Queen Latifah portray her in a movie about her life. she was such a beautiful soul and a fellow Philadelphian. 🌹❤️🤗
The music is beautiful!
I was just thinking that Queen Latifah favors her.
Queen Latifah also has a beautiful voice. I love when she does jazz. Rap is fine but I'd love to hear more jazz from her.
I was reading your comment and Queen Latifah popped into my mind too she would be an excellent choice in the starring role of a movie about her life
Wanda5, I agree, Queen Latifah does resemble her too. QL would be terrific as Pearl Bailey.
She was something else. So sad that her children died so young.
I actually was honored to see her performance of HELLO Dolly, as a then young black woman I never forgot it!!!
Pearl Bailey had a phenomenal voice. I remember watching her on tv as a little girl. She was marvelous.
Never heard of her before today but I'm so happy to have learned about this special woman 💗
Her voice was so powerful, first time hearing about this person. So cool!
I like the fact that you got straight to the point. No beating around the bush. Keep it up. You have gained a new subscriber.
I love pearl Bailey she always seemed energetic, she was a great talent and she had the most infectious smile. And a great voice she needs to be talked about more
Thank you for your fantastic presentations. We can see & appreciate how you put all of your heart and soul into each beautiful story.
Pearl Bailey was such a versatile performer who rose to the top of her craft despite segregation & other obstacles. God bless her Soul ❤❤
Omg Queen Latifah definitely should play her in biopic!
Yes!!!
I remember her variety show. There were many in the early 70’s.
I’m glad you showed this wonderful video- it made me realize how striking and beautiful she was.
Thank goodness humanity advanced and all people can use the same motels, restaurant’s, etc.
Can we talk about the outfits back in the day? Omg- they were gorgeous! She’s a very beautiful woman and I don’t even think they tried so hard as stars now to look so good.
Yess. Mainly they were in shape and then everything else was minimal compared to today.
Louie Bellson was married to singer Pearl Bailey many years, and after her death in 1990, he married Francine Wright (a physicist) in September 1992. She still lives in California.
I got to know Pearl Bailey from "Carmen Jones" and she was amazing. I love her. Also she looks like she could be Queen Latifah's "mom" maybe Latifah should play her in a biopic. 😊
P.S. What is the name of the song that is playing in the background of this video?
OMG I thought I was the only one QL really looks like her .
Wonderful to see this...Thank you for bringing her to a younger generation here. I loved her waaay back in the day!
She was a world class beauty!!
Thank You! That was a flawless essay on THE GREAT Pearl Bailey. She was truly a role model for me, because she was just so real. Her goodness spilled over into her work.
Perhaps in light of her recent passing, you could do one on Angela Lansbury? She had a long, amazing career. Pearl Bailey was amazing as well.
I remember seeing her on an album cover my step father had. I remember thinking how pretty she was to me because her features looked like mine. I ❤ her, Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, and Dorothy Dandridge. Anytime I find books or prints of any of these ladies I collect them.
Yes so beautiful! Are you American Indian like Pearl Bailey?
You and AshleySaysSo both put up a Pearl Bailey video within 24hrs!!! BLESSED ✨🎉 great diversity in perspectives too!
You got that right sister and she was also easy on the eyes sweet chocolate, and she had that special somethin May she R.I.P.🎤👼🏽💛
To call her beautiful is an insult this woman was stunning. Sublime ,absolutely ,radiant. She was a masterful actress and singer Iconic !!!!!!!!
I saw her Las Vegas show in the 1970's. She was terrific, her huge personality filling the stage.
That VOICE...soul incarnate, this lovely lady! God Bless, Karine:)
I got hooked when you mentioned that we share the same Birthday (March 29th) and also spent 7 years in university 😅
You got there in the end. Very well done.
I have a same birthday too😃😄
