Bette Midler has never been more CrazySexyCool. The legendary performer, 68, treated fans to a little TLC when she debuted her take on the girl group’s hit single “Waterfalls.”
The Grammy-winning star recorded a cover of TLC’s Grammy-nominated song for her upcoming It’s the Girls! album. The 15-track record has Midler celebrating decades of music by celebrated girl groups, including TLC.
“Waterfalls” was originally released by Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, and the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in 1995, off of the group’s CrazySexyCool album.
Midler puts her own spin on the chart-topping R&B/hop-hop classic, crooning the famous lyrics, “Don’t go chasing waterfalls / Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to / I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all / But I think you’re moving too fast.”
Due out on Nov. 4, It’s the Girls! also includes Midler’s recordings of The Ronettes‘ “Be My Baby,” The Supremes‘ “You Can’t Hurry Love,” and other favorites. Take a listen to “Waterfalls” above and check out the album’s full tracklisting below!
