(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. Pin size holes at top
