The Rose

The Rose (1979) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Paul A. Rothchild produced the final Janis Joplin studio album, Pearl, as well as many a Doors disc, and the late producer was the perfect guy to tackle this tribute to Joplin featuring "The Divine Miss M" as "Pearl"/"The Rose." In March of 1980, the version of "When a Man Loves a Woman" from this 1979 film soundtrack went Top 35, and Midler's ...

For the Boys

For the Boys (1991) more music like this

by Bette Midler

A film placing Midler in The Andrews Sisters' milieu of WWII was an inspired choice, and the soundtrack shows her abilities on period material as well as giving her a chance to sing a touching version of The Beatles' "In My Life." William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

The Divine Miss M

The Divine Miss M (1972) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Bette Midler's debut album displays how raw her talent was at the beginning of her career, a coarseness that has been lost as she's honed her persona into something brassier. Not that brassy's bad; she's just matured as a performer. But listen to this, then throw in 1990's fine Some People's Lives to see how she shines with both voices. On The ...

Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits

Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits (1993) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Placing the raw beginning of her career (beautifully represented by the stark resignation of "Hello in There") against the brassy persona she has since cultivated ("Miss Otis Regrets") against the overblown A/C cuts that have been her biggest hits ("From a Distance," "Wind Beneath My Wings"), Bette Midler shows on this album why she is a legend ...

Cool Yule

Cool Yule (2006) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Well in advance of the Christmas season, Bette Midler, perhaps in her zeal to join the ranks of other artists like Bing Crosby, Elvis, and Johnny Mathis (the latter with whom she sings the duet here, "Winter Wonderland/Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!") with famed holiday work, has come out with her first-ever Christmas album, Cool Yule. ...

Bette Midler

Bette Midler (1973) more music like this

by Bette Midler

"An earthy mix of blues, R&B, and '40s boogie-woogie" is how Bill Carpenter describes Bette Midler's second album, a strangely elaborate transition containing some of the elements which made The Divine Miss M so divine. The album features superb production from her former piano player, Barry Manilow, and the man who would help craft 1979's disco ...

Some People's Lives

Some People's Lives (1990) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Despite Bette Midler's bawdy, cartoonish image, her albums are almost always classy A/C collections that are often buried under overproduction. So on Some People's Lives, one of the singer's strongest collections, it isn't surprising that the only hit, "From a Distance," a song of hope and peace, is in keeping with much of her material -- namely ...

Bette of Roses (1995) more music like this

by Bette Midler

After a streaming flow of records for two decades, Bette Midler took a five-year hiatus. "Studio recording vacation" would make a better term, because the energetic entertainer never stays too still.

Mud Will Be Flung Tonight (1985) more music like this

Mud Will Be Flung Tonight isn't a musical album, but a stand-up comedy style offering that the proficient Bette Midler recorded in 1985. Some of the amusing tracks on this album are "The Unfettered Boob," "Taking Aim," "Fit or Fat," and a boisterously entertaining number called "Marriage, Movies, Madonna and Mick."

Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook (2005) more music like this

by Bette Midler

Bette Midler's first songbook album focused on songs popularized by Rosemary Clooney, and it became a surprising hit after being latched onto by vocal fans as well as adult contemporary audiences.

Adequately covering the rich legacy of Atlantic Records' first 50 years over only two CDs is an impossible task, even concentrating only on rock and R&B, so it would be difficult to expect Atlantic Records 50 Years: Gold Anniversary to offer anything more than a cursory overview. The compilation does illustrate the incredible depth and diversity ...
