Bette Midler has been on my shortlist of inductions into the Diva Hall of Fame for a very long time and for a good reason. I’ve been hoping and praying she might release an album of all-new material, which would generate new remixes for inclusion in a comprehensive set featuring the Divine Miss M.
While no such album has materialized, she still records and tours. Lately, much of her focus has been on classics, which frankly showcase her amazing vocal elasticity. From the aforementioned classics (50’s, 60’s, you name it) to rock, house, ballads, and yes even disco (I’ve got a rare remastered recording you’re going to be tickled pink over included), there ain’t nothing this woman can’t tackle.
Bette is a Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe winner, and Oscar nominee for best actress in one of my all-time favorite movies The Rose (she was robbed of the Oscar IMHO), and is a well-known NYC green/environmental activist. Then there is Beaches, a movie we gay folk hold near and dear to our hearts. If you’ve never seen it, you can keep your gay card as long as you do but also keep a box of Kleenex by your side because you’re gonna need it.
From Broadway and bathhouses to sold-out comedy tours and concerts, there isn’t anything the woman hasn’t accomplished in life. Well, maybe one. Girlfriend, you and Cher need to hook up and do a duet, movie, or something. You both complement each other perfectly, so we’ll just throw that on our bucket list and bow down to the DIVA goddess’ and hope they answer our prayers (fingers crossed).
This set was fairly easy to put together and after a request from one of my longtime followers, I decided now was the time. Marshall, this one’s for you. ENJOY!
