Chita, Rita & The Divine Miss M

I was searching YouTube for a clip to post in honor of Chita Rivera's 79th birthday (which is today), and I came across this little gem. Check out Chita Rivera, Rita Moreno and Bette Midler performing "America" from West Side Story - it's a Broadway Queen's dream!

Happy Birfday To Bette Midler

Happy 66th (!) birfday to The Divine Miss M.

.

You've Got To Have Friends

But you got to have friends

The feeling's oh so strong

You go to have friends 

To make that day last long

I had some friends but their gone

Someone came and took them away

And from the dusk till the dawn 

Here is where I'll stay

Standing at the end of the road, boys

Waiting for my new friends to come

I don't care if I'm hungry or bored

I'm gonna get me some of them

... Bette Midler

Complete Lyrics

Happy Birthday to The Divine Miss M!

Bette Midler turns 64 today - but to me she is ageless. The video above is The Divine Miss M performing one of my all-time favorite songs - Stay With Me.
