"If you believe that you have heard everything and are bored with modern voices,then listen to Jim Bailey!!His voice is great,actually one of the greatest,either male or female!!I loved this record!"Happy days","Don't rain on my parade" are sublime (better as the originals,for me!),as well as "Quiet please" or "All I ask of you",sung with his male voice.This singer deserves a much greater audience and should be considered one of the most talented singers,along with Judy Garland,Barbra Streisand or Shirley Bassey!Nothing to compare with modern amateurism:Céline Dion is just screaming,not singing!The same can be said about Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston.So bad and tasteless!Jim Bailey is a real belter!!"
WOW!

"Purchased the CD after seeing Jim Bailey perform as himself at the Wilde Goose in Palm Springs, CA. His styling is superb and I wanted the CD. I was amazed and thrilled to discover that a number of songs were done in character as Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand and Peggy Lee, as well as selctions by Jim Bailey as himself. I truly enjoyed his rendition of Quiet Please, Small World and This Is All I Ask. It made the purchase worthwhile. However. His interpretation of Streisand singing Don't Rain on My Parade, Judy's Swanee, You Made Me Love You, Man That Got Away and Over the Rainbow, as well as Peggy Lee's Fever, were unbelievable. I really couldn't tell Jim Bailey's from the original. I look forward to more CD's and will go again to see him at the Wilde Goose. In person and on the CD he is an unbelievable performer."
