...current concert. If she had an unequivocal hit in this period, it was on May 21, 1992, as Johnny Carson's final Tonight Show guest, singing special lyrics to You Made Me Love You. This poignant spot made one think of another career for Midler: world's sassiest, most gifted talk-show host. No one could be better than Bette at keeping viewers up all night...

C. & C. give slick and witty readings to a selection of retreads -On a Slow Boat to China, You Came a Long Way from St. Louis-and introduce a punchy, potential hit named Calcutta. One of the most intriguing vocal entertainments since Noel Coward had his famous chat with Mary Martin...
