JIM

While surfing YouTube today, I was sad to learn that one of America's greatest entertainers had died. I would suspect that most people have never seen him, but once you have you'll remember how amazing he was. I'm talking about Jim Bailey, a brilliant entertainer and impressionist who died in Los Angeles on May 30, 2015, at the age of 77. What made Bailey so remarkable and unique were his impersonations of famous female stars. He was not only to duplicate their voices, but to look like them as well.  His repertoire included Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Peggy Lee, Phyllis Diller, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis and others. Above is just one example of his art, appearing as Judy Garland on the Ed Sullivan Show. I highly recommend that you look up on YouTube. You will be astounded at his Phyllis Diller.
