Bette Midler - For Free - Continental Baths скачать видео бесплатно

Rona Topaz

Sorry-Just read the comments. Thank you Mr Vito for having the 20/20 foresight to record these shows, knowing innately that she would become a major star and how much her fans would enjoy watching these films (but of course, not knowing her pianist and music director would also become a star) Well, how could you have known? Manilow, Luther Vandross (his replacement ) and T Rex's pianist, he went by the name Reg Dwight then, are the only musical directors I can name that went on to become hugely successful artists.

Joni Mitchell wrote this song, and it's one of her very best. Manilow's arrangement is sublime as ever. I do wonder who filmed this, and if they have any other film as rare as this? Thank you, whomever you are!!

They were steam baths for gay men to have sex in - after the show.

The article is fine but check out the video of a 26 year old Bette Midler belting out "For Free." She starts out signing like Joni Mitchell and finishes singing like Bette Midler. Good stuff.

A marvelous song which Bette sings so well, she looks vulnerable but kinda in charge. Many thanks.

@fatdanios sorry i am not english native I only wanted to mention that for me the 'bad ' quality here is very charming in a way. And yes I take it easy since I can't walk. Have a nice day♥

@gerriesport Take it easy, gerriesport...I wasn't knocking the video and I did say that I loved the song~ Btw, you list yourself as 50 and old....I guess I must be ancient, then~ I'm 60!

@fatdanios , my dear, the quality is rich if you go back in time since there was no hifi and stereo was just "invented". For me the guy who filmed it is a Hero. I f you go back to the beginning of the comments here you will see how MUCH history this video contains and how deeply it touched so many people . I love it that you think her voice is amazing......I am old my dear, share this history for us, share the love.♥
