{"product_id":"bette","title":"Bette","description":"Like its predecessor Bathhouse Betty, Bette Midler's Bette spends a good deal of its playing time on ambitious, smartly chosen songs. Even the biggest pop-ballad success here is a Dionne Warwick-style take on the Elvis Costello\/Burt Bacharach, weeper \"God Give Me Strength\", rather than a dire work of schlock such as \"The Wind Beneath My Wings\". Elsewhere, Midler continues to indulge her cheeky side--the album's working title was Bette, Bath and Beyond--with KirstyMacColl's Cuban-influenced \"In These Shoes\" and a revival of Teddy Pendergrass' classic \"Love TKO\" with an impressively throaty vocal. The handful of Hallmark-esque tunes near disc's end doesn't diminish the subtlety and taste of the rest. --Park Slope\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00004YNDV\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00004YNDV.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Midler, Bette\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
