When it was released, The Rose elevated her star so much. She was asked to sing "The Wind Beneath My Wings" at a memorial soon after 911.

This song is from the movie "the rose" starring Bette. It's loosely based on Janis Joplin.

Back in 1992 my best friend (13 years old) and I (14 years old) sang this as a duet in choir every Friday. She passed away at the end of 8th grade and I haven't heard this song since until today (08/19/2024). Made me cry but love this song 😢

Bette Midler is a great actress, comedian & singer spanning 5 decades. She has won a lot of awards in many fields. She has had so many hit movies besides hit songs such as "Wind Beneath My Wings", "From A Distance", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", "Do You Wanna Dance?", "Friends" etc.

Bette Middler... One of the most talented voices ever to be recorded. Sarah, If you haven't seen it yet, watch "Beaches" and start recording your reaction when you get to the part where Bette Middler sings "Wind Beneath My Wings". I for one would love to be sitting next to you when that happens. You may have heard the song. But when you hear it in the context of the movie, it changes everything.

Bette Midler had it all. Enormously talented singer and performer, a very good actress, she could have done pretty much anything but unfortunately didn't have the looks of an ingénue. As she got older it didn't matter so much and she embraced the character actress label. On stage, though, as a cabaret performer her wit and charm came through, and that's where she really shined.

She is one of the best EVER to play "Mama Rose" in Gypsy. I guess roses are lucky for her!

The following link is from an older performance, it's the best performance I know of this song. The video quality is not great, but the performance, the way she sings it, this is 'the one': kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2Gmp5afjJ50obM

I wonder why she sang about a rose instead of a Korean Spice Viburnum, which is far more rare and scintillating. Probably too long. Maybe next time. Beautiful song, packed with salt water.
@Serai38 ай бұрын
Because this song was written as the theme for the movie "The Rose", about Janis Joplin. Also, nothing rhymes with "viburnum".

She didn't write it. Artist lose a lot of credibility when they sing songs they don't write themselves, or at least in a collaboration with their bandmates. She sang it, that's it. A hundred other artists could sing it, only one person wrote it. They writer deserves the credit but never get it.
