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. Fine
condition.
