Bette Midler and musical director Barry Manilow follow their successful
tribute to Rosemary Clooney with a collection of songs immortalized by
Peggy Lee. It starts off with the inevitable "Fever," which Midler does in
a brassy, finger-snapping way that would feel more at home at the Sands
c. 1960 than in a dimly lit 1950s boudoir. It's a deliberate, clever
choice that works for Midler. The selection hits predictable bases ("Is
That All There Is?", "Big Spender") but it's hard to argue when those
bases are so loaded. Midler actually sounds a lot more at ease than on the
Clooney disc. She handles the upbeat material as well as could be
expected, but she also shines on the slower numbers, delivering sultry
takes on "Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe," "I'm a Woman," and "He's a
Tramp" (a song copenned by Lee, from the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp).
The neglected gem in the collection is Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein
II's "The Folks Who Live on the Hill," popularized by Irene Dunne in 1937
before being covered by Lee. Manilow's arrangements are deliciously lush
and Midler uses a slight vibrato at carefully chosen moments, somehow
sounding as if she had suddenly been lifted back to the 1940s. It's a real
treat that epitomizes an accomplished album.
