Audio CD Description

It's nice to see Bette Midler putting her spin on an American classic after less-than-convincing detours through adult-contemporary cheese. This tribute focuses on Rosemary Clooney in the early to mid-1950s--so we don't get any of the fabulous Nelson Riddle material--but it's a fairly strong offering. It was produced and arranged by Midler's old musical director, Barry Manilow--who actually dueted with Clooney on a couple of songs in the 1990s and here replaces Bing Crosby on the duet "On a Slow Boat to China." Mostly, the CD is about hits: "Hey There" and "White Christmas" are done in straightforward manner, while Linda Ronstadt fills in for Rosemary's actual sister Betty on a slinky version of "Sisters." Happily, Midler plays "Come On-A My House" down instead of up (the old Bette would have milked its comic aspect) but the singer lets loose on "Mambo Italiano." That's pretty much the only time the Divine Miss M peeks out from behind Clooney's elegant persona, and it's a delight.


Comments From Our Customers

Superb!!!

I'd been wanting to get this cd ever since I saw Bette in concert last year, but never got around to buying it. I just happened upon it in a used book store the other day, and when I noticed it included my all-time favorite singer Linda Ronstadt, I had to grab it. I'm so glad I did. Every song is wonderful. There's not a dud in the bunch. They're arranged by the great Barry Manilow, and his duet with Bette on "Slow Boat To China" is just delightful. My favorite of course would have to be "Sisters" with Linda. Now I'm going to have to get a Rosemary Clooney collection so I can have the original recordings.


This CD is the best!!

I've always enjoyed Bette Midler's voice but she is the best I've ever heard her in this collection. There are so many wonderful songs on this CD. Her duets with Barry Manilow and Linda Ronstandt are so much fun. If you're a Bette Midler fan, this CD is a must for your collection.


Bette Midler Still the Best

I have always loved Bette Midler and her renditions of the old Rosemary Clooney favorites are awesome. She honors Rosemary by staying true to her songs but adds her own flair as well. Her collaboration with Barry Manilow was a real treat.
