About The Record:

Bette Midler, by the vocalist of the same name, peaked at no. 6 on Billboard 200 and produced one single: In The Mood. The album, produced by Arif Mardin and Barry Manilow, includes Midler's interpretations of Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael's Skylark, Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weill's Surabaya Johnny, Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Released and Glenn Miller's In the Mood as well as a Phil Spector medley. Bette Midler was later awarded a Gold Disc by the RIAA. "An earthy mix of blues, R&B, and '40s boogie-woogie" is how Bill Carpenter describes Bette Midler. The album features superb production from her former piano player, Barry Manilow, and the man who would help craft 1979's disco effort, Thighs and Whispers, Arif Mardin. The result is a solid album, according to a reviewer on allmusic.com.
