Moments Worth Listening For

The iconic finger-snap rhythm and minimalist bass line opening Fever that immediately sets a sultry tone.

The transition into the spoken-word philosophical musings during Is That All There Is? where Midler channels Lee's weary cynicism.

The brassy, high-energy explosion of Big Spender that brings a burst of Broadway-style showmanship to the jazz arrangements.
