Hi dear Paul! I didn’t know that you love music of Bette Midler. She is a great actress and singer. I like this album from 1979 “Thighs And Whispers” but my favorite from her is “No Frills” (1983). Those albums are both great. Love them! Huge ‘Thank you’ as always sweetheart.

I’m a huge Bette fan….but I gotta say I think Bonnie Tyler did a better version of “Married Men”. IMO!
