I Bette You Wanna Win A Free Midler CD
For nearly four decades now, Bette Midler’s name has been synonymous with entertainment. From her early days in the Seventies providing the house entertainment (with piano accompaniment from some guy you might know named Barry Manilow) at gay bathhouses to a dual movie & music career that has seen her win Grammys and win at the box office with films ranging from “The Rose” to “Ruthless People” and “Outrageous Fortune”, Midler has been one of […]
Out There!- Dario (Can You Get Me Into Studio 54) by Dana & Gene
I’ve always said that if I could ever go back in time, I’d love to experience New York City during the Summer Of Sam. The mean streets, the peep shows, the filth. But most of all I would want to turn the beat around at Studio 54. I’ve talked to a few people who have been there back in 1977 and they refuse to discuss because either they were too coked up to remember or […]

Although he had to tone down his sound a little bit to get a hit, it was a pretty solid album. His third album, “Something Else” hits stores today and promises yet another collection of uptempo soul thumpers (like the first single “Magic”) and romantic ballads. Not bad for the son of Jason Seaver.
