Ms. Bailey was a very beautiful and lovely lady . She graced my middle school with her kindness. Accompanying her was her husband Mr. Bellson on drums very memorable.
Thank you for a feature on this extraordinary woman. I was actually looking for Moms Mabley but it led me to her good friend Pearl. Its wonderful seeing our blackness in its best light. Thank you. I'm following you.
I don't want to minimize the problems of growing up and having a large part of her career in segregated times, but I would like to change your sentence to "this is what excellence looks like" as her talents had no limiting factor.
Pearl Bailey in Hello Dolly wasn't a revival. The show opened in 1964 and was still running when Ms. Bailey joined the cast in 1967. It was considered groundbreaking to have an all-Black cast (which included Cab Calloway, Mable King and Morgan Freeman) and made the producer a lot of money. The show didn't close because of Ms. Bailey's health; it ran until 1970.
Correct, technically Hello Dolly wasn't a revival but it was a new re-invented version with an all black cast. Ms. Bailey returned in 1975 for the revival after she recovered from her health troubles. According to my sources, she suffered heart problems for over 3 decades.
