3½x5½. BAILEY (1918-1990), a jazz singer and Broadway star, made her Broadway
debut in 1946, in the musical St. Louis Woman; her performance resulted
in an award for most promising newcomer. She won a special Tony Award in 1968.
She earned plaudits when she took over the Broadway title role in Hello,
Dolly! (1967). She appeared in numerous films, including Carmen
Jones, St. Louis Blues, and Porgy and Bess. She is perhaps
best known for her sultry jazz renditions, having both started and ended
her career in nightclubs. Her early days were spent singing in cafes,
theaters, and nightclubs in the Northeast, with an occasional stint as a
singer with a big band, such as Count Basie's orchestra. In the 1960s, she
returned to nightclub singing, and appeared frequently on television; one of her
most notable appearances was on the 1966 special Carol Channing and Pearl
Bailey on Broadway.Bailey was
named to the U.S. delegation to the United Nations in 1976, and awarded the
Medal of Freedom in 1988. Fine
