(You
gotta have) "Friends" is a song Moogy wrote with Buzzy Linhart in the
early 70's It quickly became
Bette Midler's theme song from her
early gigs, after she heard Buzzy Linhart sing it, when he would open for
her at the Continental Baths. She has recorded it on several of her albums.
It appeared in 1972 on her first album "Divine Miss M", then on
"Live at Last" in 1972, "Experience the Divine" in 1995 and
just now released again on "3 for One", April 2000. She performed
it as well on TV like in the Bette Midler Show.
Moogy
produced Bette's Album "Songs for the New Depression" in 1976 and
was also the main arranger and main keyboardist. Bette recorded a Moogy
original
"Let me Just Follow Behind" for "Songs of the New Depression".
This album is also notable for a Duet of Bette with Bob Dylan!
