Bette Midler On Singing No Frills Rock N’ Roll: “I’ve always sung some. Not a great deal of it. I was timid. I never thought people would buy street music from a chick like me. You know, theatrical background, musical comedy. Musical comedy is sneered at by people who are rock and roll. But most of them, if you scratch them, their parents used to play ‘Oklahoma.’ You know what I’m saying? (The Milwaukee Journal Dec 2, 1979) – Bette Midler
