So it's not such a shock to find her reaching back to an earlier era of pop singing for THE ROSEMARY CLOONEY SONGBOOK. In paying tribute to her beloved Clooney, Midler engages the services of none other than MOR icon Barry Manilow as arranger, a role he played for her before embarking on his solo career. This is far from a by-the-numbers stroll through the Clooney catalog, though. Midler and Manilow dip into smooth jazz (\"Come On-A My House\"), boogie-woogie (\"On a Slow Boat to China\"), Americana (\"This Ole House\"), and orchestrated jazz (\"Hey There\") among other modes, introducing these Clooney-associated tunes to a whole new generation.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51307944968479,"sku":"886976883423","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/13cc1fe22f6d6604f592fd27a7ef4625.jpg?v=1780314280","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/sings-the-rosemary-clooney-songbook","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
