I have been a Bette fan for years,and have all of her albums, but this is FLAT OUT my favorite! The power and passion of Cradle Days and Rain are unmatched. Total goosebump songs. I grew up in the disco era, and am a big fan of that music, so the disco flavor on this album is something I love. How can you not love Hang On In There Baby, Hurricane, My Night In Black Leather and Married Men? Those songs are so much fun. I love this album start to finsh and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Bette. Buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bette's first disco LP, September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Thighs & Whispers (Audio CD)

Prior to this LP, Bette's previous attempt at disco was a remake of Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night" inthe style of Gloria Gaynor.This LP captures Bette at her most campiest"My Knight In Black Leather"(big gay club hit).Her I am woman hit "Married Men".Johnny Brisol's hit "Hang On In There Baby".To the sincere ballads "Rain" & James Taylor's "Millworker"

5.0 out of 5 stars Midler tries Disco...., August 11, 2002

.....and kinda succeeds. There are some nice tracks on this album. Like someone said, the highlights are the non-disco tracks: "Millworker", "Cradle Days" and "Rain". O.k. "Cradle Days" is probably the most soulful tune sung by a white woman, period. She sings the ... outta this tune. When she literally yells, "you took my darling babies away from me, you really rung my heart in two".....OMG..I melted. "I Don't remember too much about my Cradle Days, guess you can say I became a woman too fast". Her version of this tune almost brings you to tears, never has she sung so honestly, she has mentioned in past interviews that this is actually one of her favorite tunes too. "Millworker" is a quiet masterpiece, she almost narrarates it. This could of worked for Linda Ronstadt too. "Rain" is another good one too. The Best uptempo on this record is the "My Night In Black Leather" tune. It's does have ... written in red letters on it but it's soooo campy and fun that u can't help but love it. Other noteworthy tracks are "Big Noise.....", "Hurricane" (which kinda drags but hey, she wrote it) and "Married Men". The only clunker IMO is "Hang On In There Baby".

During this time, Bette was a follower. She even tried some New Wave on 1983's "No Frills" and hadn't quite found her niche. I still like this record for it's danceable tracks, soulful belting and (good looking) cover. Buy it!!!!!!
