Reuniting with producer Barry Manilow, her original piano accompanist and musical director, Ms. Midler conjures soulful interpretations of Peggy Lee's most memorable songs including the Grammy-winning signature tunes "Fever" and "Is That All There Is?" as well as "Alright, Okay, You Win," "I Love Being Here With You" (duet with Barry Manilow), "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe," "I'm A Woman," "He's A Tramp," "The Folks Who Live On The Hill," "Big Spender," and "Mr. Wonderful."
For an even added pleasure, the DVD side of the DualDisc Edition of Bette Midler Sings The Peggy Lee Songbook includes all ten album tracks in enhanced PCM stereo, five complete songs including a version of "Is That All There Is?" recorded live-in-the-studio, never-before-seen home movie footage of Peggy Lee, archival TV and film appearances by Peggy Lee, and interviews with Bette Midler and Peggy Lee's daughter, Nicki Lee Foster, and granddaughter, Holly Foster-Wells. Truly a wonderful treat for both Bette Midler and Peggy Lee fans. |
