A Gift Of Love Cd

Rhino bring together 18 of Bette Midler's best love songs for a new collection A Gift Of Love, available on December 4. This new collection includes highlights from albums she recorded for both Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. between 1976 and 2014. The earliest recording on the new album is Let Me Just Follow Behind, which Midler recorded for her third album, Songs for the New Depression 1976.

The most recent tracks Talk To Me Of Mendocino and The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game come from the sessions for Midler s smash tribute to female trios It s the Girls and are previously unreleased outside of the U.S. This new collection spotlights a number of incredibly poignant tracks, like her cover of Marshall Crenshaw s My Favorite Waste Of Time from No Frills 1983; Every Road Leads Back To You from the soundtrack to her film For the Boys 1991; Shining Star from Bette 2000; plus five tracks from her platinum release Bette of Roses 1995, including It s Too Late and As Dreams Go By.

A Gift Of Love would not be complete without three of Midler s biggest hits: The Rose from the 1979 film of the same name in which Midler starred; the #1 Grammy-winning smash Wind Beneath My Wings from another Midler film, Beaches; and From A Distance, from her double-platinum album Some People s Lives 1990.
