Bette (album)


Bette is a self-titled album by Bette Midler, released in 2000 by Warner Bros. Records.
Midler covered songs on this album written by artists like Elvis Costello and Kirsty MacColl, mixed with cover versions of classic soul/R&B songs from the 1970s including "Shining Star", "Love T.K.O." and "Just My Imagination ".
The album only reached #69 on Billboard 200, and Warner Bros. subsequently dropped Midler from its roster in 2001 because of declining record sales..
A maxi-single with several remixes of "In These Shoes" was released to promote the album. It reached No. 8 on the US Billboard Dance Music/Club Play Singles and No. 14 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales charts.
