Format:Audio CD
The song arrangements are good and Bette sounds as lovely as ever... however once again I feel a little cheated ... this is the 2nd CD in the "Bette Sings" collection - the 1st one - Rosemary Clooney, lasted under 30 minutes, and this one lasts 33 Minutes ... in an age where most CDs run for 50 to 60 it is a disappointing output, I feel a bit cheated to be charged a full price for what is a 50% CD! Part of me thinks that the record company knows that us true Bette fans will buy anything she puts out .. after this cd I will think long and hard next time.

Format:Audio CD
Manilow and Midler are a sure fire combination, repeating here the smooth production values of the Rosemary Songbook - however, like that first 'Songbook' album we are a little short on content and as a permium priced CD I felt short changed - 30 odd minutes is only really a taster. That said all the songs are great, except possibly Fever and Big Spender. As great as Ms M is, smouldering sexiness is not really her thing and as such Fever and Big Spender feel like poor reproductions. Even Madonna has done a better version of Fever and unless you can top Shirley Bassey better leave Big Spender alone for a while!
Good, but not her best. Smooth, slick and well executed, but why so little?

I am a fan of both Peggy Lee and Bette Midler. It's extremely ambituous to do a disc on the signature tunes of Peggy Lee. From a marketing point of view, it makes lots of sense. But from a musical point of view, you have nobody to measure to but Pegge Lee herself. And did Bette prove that she can carry the tunes just as well as Miss Lee? The answer is no. The CD is well recorded and well produced and Bette's voice is fine. However, there is no spark, and her renditions fail to provoke any of the sexiness, insinuating, and sometimes non-chalant attitude that Pegge Lee exhibited so well in her signature tunes like "FEVER", "BIG SPENDER", "IS THAT ALL THERE IS"...

Bette & Barry do it again!
Bette is fantastic doing old material and this is a prime example. Here Barry Manilow has arranged these songs to best suit Bette and does it splendidly.
Well worth buying.
