Bette Midler On Moving From Atlantic Records To Warner Brothers: “A thousand blessings on Mo Ostin’s house. He’s a sweet, sweet man. I was at Atlantic forever. I was their poster girl. I tried to renegotiate my deal, but Atlantic head, Ahmet Ertegun said ”˜This is too much for me. I can’t afford it. If you can get this somewhere else, go somewhere else.'” (The Hour ”“ Sep 4, 1998)
