This tribute focuses on Rosemary Clooney in the early to mid-1950s--so we don't get any of the fabulous Nelson Riddle material--but it's a fairly strong offering. It was produced and arranged by Midler's old musical director, Barry Manilow--who actually dueted with Clooney on a couple of songs in the 1990s and here replaces Bing Crosby on the duet \"On a Slow Boat to China.\" Mostly, the CD is about hits: \"Hey There\" and \"White Christmas\" are done in straightforward manner, while Linda Ronstadt fills in for Rosemary's actual sister Betty on a slinky version of \"Sisters.\" Happily, Midler plays \"Come On-A My House\" down instead of up (the old Bette would have milked its comic aspect) but the singer lets loose on \"Mambo Italiano.\" That's pretty much the only time the Divine Miss M peeks out from behind Clooney's elegant persona, and it's a delight. --Elisabeth Vincentelli\n\nProduct description\n\nSings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000BYMYK\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000BYMYK.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.
