Trio of backup singers who support Bette Midler
The Harlettes, also known as The Staggering Harlettes, is a trio of backup singers who support Bette Midler during her live musical performances.

History
Bette Midler's stage act grew out of her early 1970s performances at the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in Manhattan which offered entertainment on the weekends.
With her powerful singing voice, outrageous costumes and biting wit, Midler became a favorite of the bathhouse crowd.[1]
Inspired in part by the Theatre of the Ridiculous,[2][3] Midler's stage show evolved into a bawdy and flamboyant mixture of stand-up comedy, vaudeville and burlesque.
It was during this time that Midler cultivated her stage persona as "The Divine Miss M". "The more outrageous I was, the more they liked it," Midler said. "It loosened me up."[1]
