 ██     The Divine Miss M's sixth release on Atlantic, and the one       ██
 ██     right before The Rose, finds the singer reunited with            ██
 ██     producer Arif Mardin, who contributed to her self-titled         ██
 ██     second album. Despite Bette Midler being in fine voice for       ██
 ██     Thighs and Whispers, a play on the title Cries and Whispers,     ██
 ██     a 1972 offering from film director Ingmar Bergman, and           ██
 ██     outside of a terrific version of Johnny Bristol's 1974 Top       ██
 ██     Ten solo hit "Hang on in There Baby," this 1979 disc is          ██
 ██     stuck in the '70s when an artist of Midler's stature should      ██
 ██     have made a recording that was her ode to the decade of          ██
 ██     decadence. The disco beat on most of the album is an             ██
 ██     irritant years later, though, as stated, Motown producer         ██
 ██     Johnny Bristol's "Hang on tn There Baby" survives the            ██
 ██     incessant drum/high hat sound. "Big Noise From Winnetka,"        ██
 ██     sadly, does not, a future anachronism Mardin avoided with        ██
 ██     former Midler backup singer Melissa Manchester when "You         ██
 ██     Should Hear How She Talks About You" added rock to the dance     ██
 ██     vibe three years later in 1982. "Millworker" and "Cradle         ██
 ██     Days" are more traditional Midler and for that reason they       ██
 ██     entertain, her strengths are formidable, and here she goes       ██
 ██     to those areas of power. Where Bette's second album had          ██
 ██     co-production from Barry Manilow and the third, Songs for        ██
 ██     the New Depression, from Mark "Moogy" Klingman, Thighs and       ██
 ██     Whispers would have benefited with more than one vision. The     ██
 ██     girl group fascination which was a wonderful point of            ██
 ██     reference for Bette, reprised somewhat on 1977's Live at         ██
 ██     Last and 1980's Divine Madness, is missing in action here,       ██
 ██     though high points like the vocal performance on "Cradle         ██
 ██     Days" work very well. The disco comes back to haunt "My          ██
 ██     Knight in Black Leather," a song that would have worked          ██
 ██     better if it had a bit of techno angst as well as more           ██
 ██     trendy S & M references. As a sappy dancefloor exercise this     ██
 ██     version should have been an outtake. And that Jerry Ragovoy      ██
 ██     co-wrote it is the real shocker ù Midler using his "Stay         ██
 ██     With Me" to wonderful effect in her film The Rose. Bette's       ██
 ██     own co-write "Hurricane" works as well as Elton John's           ██
 ██     Victim of Love failed disco experiment ù which is to say it      ██
 ██     doesn't. But Mac Rebennack's "Rain" is more than a delight,      ██
 ██     it's a real diamond in the rough here. "Married Men" closes      ██
 ██     out the album, and it is disco that works, La Bette's own        ██
 ██     version of "It's Raining Men" with the flavor of illicit         ██
 ██     romance an integral part of that decade. Bette Midler is         ██
 ██     such a consistent and dynamic artist that even she is            ██
 ██     allowed one exercise in excess. Thighs and Whispers is an        ██
 ██     uneven album from the harlot starlet which still has its         ██
 ██     moments.                                                         ██
