“Mambo Italiano” was originally written by Bob Merrill in 1954 for the American singer Rosemary Clooney, and is a parody of genuine mambo music. Bette Midler included a cover of the tune on her tribute album to Clooney, released in 2003 (following Clooney’s death in 2002) and produced by Barry Manilow. “I wanted to be respectful, but I felt we had to find something new to say as well,” Midler said in the liner notes for the album. “And in these (mostly) new arrangements…I believe we have.”
The track begins in G minor and shifts up a half step at 2:16.

I love the your Mambo Italiano especially the piano accompaniment. Who played that sensational bridge and is there any way to get the sheet music? Thank you,

Anita, I checked Discogs, which usually has good info. Unfortunately, limited information here!

Looks like a lot of sources for the sheet music, though! Google reports MusicNotes, SheetMusicDirect, SheetMusicNow, etc. all have it.
Thanks!
