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      Product description      Soul Summit ~ Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 827969035023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0827969035023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51461240160553,"sku":"DP-U869-EOKM","price":3.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51UpTiWL0bL.jpg?v=1762033043","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/en\/products\/bette-midler-sings-the-rosemary-clooney-songbook","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
