Gloriously flamboyant American entertainer Bette Midler was born in Honolulu, HI, to the only Jewish family in the neighborhood. After dropping out of a drama class at the University of Hawaii, she took a tiny role in the 1966 film Hawaii, playing a seasick boat passenger (though it's hard to see her when viewing the film). Training for a dancing career in New York, Midler made the casting rounds for several months before finally winning a chorus role, and then the featured part of Tzeitel, in the long-running Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. During her more than forty-year career, Midler has been nominated for two Academy Awards; and won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a special Tony Award. |

What a great pair of songs from the legendary Broadway musical 42nd Street. Bette Midler made "Lullaby of Broadway" a hit in the 1970s, but it's been around since the golden era of Hollywood. Jay's arrangement opens with a touch of "Forty-Second Street." Two swinging standards arranged with style.
