Bette Midler’s “Beast Of Burden” performance on the Johnny Carson Show in 1983 was a memorable moment in her career. Here are some highlights:
- The performance was part of her promotion for her album “No Frills,” which was released in 1983
- The performance was well-received and showcased Midler’s unique style and powerful voice
- There are several videos of this performance available online, including on platforms like YouTube
- Midler’s rendition of the song, originally by The Rolling Stones, was a hit with the audience
This performance is just one example of Bette Midler’s versatile talent and her ability to captivate audiences. She has had a long and successful career in music, film, and theater, earning multiple awards and recognition worldwide. Her performances continue to be enjoyed by fans, old and new.
Killer Bette performance, so theatrical, unique and powerfully sexual. Standing ovation well received…”I see you’re doing Marie Osmond’s old act” quip by Carson was perfect, as was Bette’s quick response, “Yeah, well, she wasn’t using it.”
My favorite of her versions of this song.
Thank you Don.
