Thanks for this Pearl Bailey Gem on Ed’s show….great memories!
I saw BB King when he had just turned 80 and he could do her expressions exactly like her when he was honoring friends who had passed on.
Have a great day!

Sounds great, but is that live? Without a microphone? Or lip synch?

[DocReasonable]

Not bad, but I'm not a huge fan of her timing and phrasing in comparison to the Gene McDaniels version.
