Looking Up! : Finding My Voice in Las Vegas

Dr William H 'Bob' Bailey chronicles his life from the projects in Cleveland to the Moulin Rouge in Las Vegas and everything in between: the good, the bad, the amusing, and the embarrassing.

He willingly shares his personal trials and triumphs, his dedication to making Las Vegas a better place and his good fortune finding Anna, the love of his life.

Through the years Bailey met and worked with, the greats of the golden age of entertainment including Count Basie, Pearl Bailey, Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis Jr and others.

He tells of his involvement in the Nevada Commission on Equal Rights.

As a business leader in the African American community in Las Vegas, Bailey continued to work on behalf of racial equality all his life.

Bailey's story is heartwarming and heartbreaking; he reminds us that the good old days were not always so good, but at the same time, the future never looked better.
