Bette Midler "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" in Mermade Costume on Letterman Part 1

Let Peace Begin With Me • "Let There Be Peace on...
pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy.

Katey Sagal who played Peg Bundy.. is one of the mermaids.

[@trenchant63]

I don't think so. This performance was from 1994 and Katey was a Harlette for a brief time from 1978 through the early 1980s....

A huge thank you for posting this and the entirety of Letterman interview. This was 30 years ago. How did you get such stellar quality? Much appreciation!!

[@laurawesoff5732]

I never got the Mermaid outfits. Not the most practical.

[@dabigdikdangler]

It's called showmanship

[@nickbigd]

I don’t think being “practical” was ever the point of Bette’s live shows.

[@laurawesoff5732]

@@nickbigd Idiots with no wit/humor are underrepresented on KZbin? Just to be clear...I'm calling you and yours idiots.
