About this album

Broken Blossom shows Bette Midler refining her theatrical pop persona with a set of wistful standards, ballads and contemporary material. Issued in 1977, the album blends cabaret instinct with polished pop-rock arrangements, letting Midler move from smoky storytelling to straightforward melody with ease. It draws on songs such as La Vie En Rose and A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, alongside later material including Say Goodbye to Hollywood, to underline her range as a singer with strong dramatic control. Coming at a time when Midler was building a distinctive post-Broadway recording identity, the album helped confirm her appeal beyond any single style or audience.
