The Divine Miss M — Bette Midler on Michael Feinstein’s Song Travels

Join KRFY as we celebrate Women’s History Month with one of the true great women of song and fun…

Bette Midler’s Song Travels is a one-hour series distributed by NPR and hosted by the renowned “Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” Michael Feinstein.

As host and artistic director, Feinstein uncovers the intimate journey singers and songs take with one another, each changing the other through the course of a lifetime. For Feinstein, American music is really a travelogue, with art that exists only because it has traveled through artists’ lives, generations, and passions.

Singer, actress, and comedian Bette Midler is Feinstein’s guest for an hour of pure radio fun. Midler unpacks stories and favorite tunes from her record collection — from Louis Jordan to vintage Hawaiian music to Destiny’s Child. Feinstein presents her with “I’ll Be There,” a song written for Midler by the legendary songwriting team Marilyn and Alan Bergman..
