She sang that in NYC at a tribute to 9/11 victims. It was very shortly after the attack. Very sad. The whole country loved New Yorkers and their courage. It was my daughter’s 13th birthday. Seeing those heartbroken faces again still kills me.

I met her in 1970. She was playing the Acid Queen in the first ever staging of the Who's rock opera Tommy by the Seattle Opera. My brother's band was the pit band. I went backstage, she saw me and called to me saying "you must be Mike's sister!". She ran over (which was hard for her to do because she's very short and at that time always wearing high heels) and gave me a huge hug. From that moment I loved her forever. Warm, personable, immensely talented and just fun to be around.

Just a little FYI...In this case, Bette is pronounced as Bet. So it's pronounced as Bet Midler. I have been a fan since her early days back in the 70s and I have been fortunate enough to have seen her live twice, both times in Cleveland. Boy what a show she puts on! She's absolutely fantastic! Also, back when she first started out in NYC, her pianist was Barry Manilow, who was also just starting out at the time.

You need to watch some Bette Midler movies. Start with her first starring role in “The Rose”, loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin. She was nominated for a best actress Oscar and when you see it you will be astonished that she didn’t win. “Beaches” is the movie ths song is from and it really showcases everything she can do - comedy, drama , singing and performing. If you don’t laugh and cry while watching this movie, you’re not human.
