Album of the Day

"I began being called The Divine Miss M around 1969, when I made my first appearance at the Continental Baths,” recalled Bette Midler of her early days in New York, and the nickname became the title to her iconic debut. Co-produced by Barry Manilow, THE DIVINE MISS M was released in November 1972 and includes the Top 40 hits "Do You Want To Dance" and "Friends," as well as the Top 10 smash "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." The Atlantic collection reached the Top 10 on the album chart, and was later certified Platinum by the RIAA (helping earn Midler a Best New Artist Grammy the following year). The beginning of Bette’s incredible career sounds even better as THE DIVINE MISS M joins Rhino’s QUADIO series in multi-dimensional blu-ray audio.
