Whenever I see clips of Bette on the “Tonight Show” it brings back great memories. This one is one of my favorites. This episode was on the night before I graduated from college; December 1985. I though it was the universe giving me my graduation present! My favorite line of the entire night came right after Bette sang this song. Johnny looked over at Bette and said, “….it must be jelly because jam don’t shake like that!!”
I wonder if Miss M gave a role to Lainie Kazan in “Beaches” because of this song. She was great as Leona Bloom.
Could be…you never know….
