Bailey's fame began in the late 1960s when he created the "illusions" of singers Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Peggy Lee by vocally imitating them in his own operatically trained voice. Bailey appeared on concert stages throughout the world, including headlining in Las Vegas at hotels such as The Thunderbird, Caesars Palace, The Desert Inn, The Sands, Harrah's, The Dunes and performing at New York City's Carnegie Hall a total of nine times and The Palladium Theater in London a total of 17 times. Bailey also performed for the British Royal Family twice and for four United States presidents. Aaron Pacentine was very honored to get to talk to him for about an entire hour, so these memories will always be remembered. He met Judy Garland several times, and even endorsed Jim Bailey, as this story is also a part of the interview. The interview was recorded in fall of 2007.
