Her timing on the delivery of the lyrics is impeccable. I find myself listening more intently to her words. And the emotion she conveys resonates with me. Just beautifully heartbreaking.
In my opinion Bette's interpretation of this song is the definitive version. I think that it is exactly the less-than-perfect, throaty vocal that helps to convey the melancholy of the song. Bravo Bette!
Remember this song from Beaches when I was a child. Thank you so much Bette for such a beautiful rendition of this song. Love to hear great talent. Thank you.
Bette is one of the few people in music that can emote. You feel every single note she sings. There are other technical singers that do better, but she is pure emotion and it shows. She is a legend.
This song has always been my 'sad day' song. It's on my playlist and, ironically, it's raining today. Hard days remind me that eventually the rain will stop and then we pick up and carry on.
She continues to amaze and mesmerize me. Her mannerisms, her voice, her facial expressions ... love how she sings human kindness is overflowing at 3:25 .. and fiddles with her the ring on her ring finger ... thinking of her marriage? ... She's so full of expression. Bette, thank you for pouring out of your heart and soul.
I am sure people are going to disagree or think I am crazy, but I have heard a lot of versions of this song...the original by Randy, Barbara Streisand, Norah Jones, etc...but I think Bette's version is the most beautiful and poignant. My opinion. I could listen to Bette all day, every day.
I agree with you! I actually had this song going through my head all day today. First time I ever heard this song was Bette Midler singing it in the movie Beaches.
She has always had a very, VERY GOOD VOICE!! EVER SINCE I SAW "THE ROSE", I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HER VOICE!! I LIKE HER ABILITY TO ACT TOO! She IS A VERY GOOD COMEDIAN AND COMEDIC ACTRESS, AT LEAST IMHO.😁
I love Bette Midler's version. She's been through rough times in her own life and it comes through in her songs. She's a great woman / entertainer. Ever since "The Rose," Bette Midler's made each song she sings her own. She's awesome live.
Randy Newman writes some of my favorite songs, They are so beautiful and poetic with deep emotion and humor. And this song just lends itself to a female voice with the high notes. Bette Midler does the best version of all of them.
I remember watching Beaches and was full with tears and said to my sister ' why didn't you tell me?' It has the same emotion as it did then...Many things, to many people - kindred spirits and memories - wishes and wants...
WOW!! First time watching this video, had me in tears. Love bette's version hands down. Her voice is so comforting, it was so heartfelt and filled with raw emotion. I hope this video stays up for a long time.
I’m sure someone has said it already, but if you really felt the movie Beaches, felt the real agony of the ending, this version of the song will always make you tear up a bit.
Such a beautiful song... I just love Bette Midler! fabulous voice! wonderful talent !! has an amazing smile :-) thanks Bette from Dorine!! Melbourne Australia Xxx
@@mowsey321 Bette's version is the sweetest I have ever heard, her soft & tender voice gives me goosebumps & chills, no one effects most people I know like her voice, my best friend was amazed at hearing her voice, she said she didn't realized how gorgeous her voice was.
Marje Ketchum, Bette has sung some of most beautiful songs ever, listen to her & Wynonna sing " Let it be me" together, type that in, you will cry it is so pretty
2021 and this song makes sooo much sense to me rn. Found this soundtrack in the thrift store and wondered who'd throw away legacy. I'm happy I played it today because it made me think of humanity as A whole. She is beautiful and voice is timeless. Wish I had A bestfriend
There have been dozens of versions since Randy Newman wrote this (1970?). This one gave me goose pimples, but last heard it on "The Good Wife". Amazing longevity.
It first appeared on Randy Newman's 1968 eponymous debut album. I like that version, as well as Neil Diamond's cover, but Bette's recording from the movie "Beaches" is my favorite of all.
i love all versions of this song equally..a testament of how wonderful this song is...people should love each other...the only hate should be toward hate itself ....
I loved the chemistry between Bette and Johnny. It was always a treat to see them interact. A definate mutual respect and admiration they had for each other. Love this song and the movies Beaches. Thanks for posting.
I know randy newman wrote and performed it. but miss midler definitely killed it. one of the hardest scenes on "beaches" when this song came on. 😪 "human kindness is overflowing"
I have listened to several versions of this song on youtube. I think Bette's is the best. Simply beautiful. Beautifully sung. Beautifully arranged. The studio version is better than this live one.

This is the definitive interpretation to my mind, so full of deep sadness, despair...Bette is an artist, through and through.
I had the privilege of seeing her in concert twice. She truly is divine
I cry every bloody time I hear her sing this song. Every time, Every performance. Truly divine .
I would pay to listen to Bette sing the phone book!
Me too.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Joshua Blauvelt, I would too, her voice is my favorite to listen to & always will be, she is an angel of music.

Bette is a national treasure.
I have no words that could possibly express what this makes me feel.
She continues to amaze and mesmerize me. Her mannerisms, her voice, her facial expressions ... love how she sings human kindness is overflowing at 3:25 .. and fiddles with her the ring on her ring finger ... thinking of her marriage? ... She's so full of expression. Bette, thank you for pouring out of your heart and soul.
I love Bette Midler
A true gem Bette...very lovely
She's amazing
Simply magnificent.
Great mix.❤

I had never heard this version till today and I usually listen to the Norah Jones version but this wins them all
I agree with you! I actually had this song going through my head all day today. First time I ever heard this song was Bette Midler singing it in the movie Beaches.
AZambri1 I agree with you. Bette's version is the best. Greetings from Brasil.
AZambri1 Just caught Bette's version for the first time. Totally awesome! I've always loved Neil Diamond's rendition, too (Stones album 1971),
morinavampile Ditto. This song and Baby Mine. Bette Midler's voice is amazing and she puts so much feeling into her songs.
Pure class and a great song
She has always had a very, VERY GOOD VOICE!! EVER SINCE I SAW "THE ROSE", I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HER VOICE!! I LIKE HER ABILITY TO ACT TOO! She IS A VERY GOOD COMEDIAN AND COMEDIC ACTRESS, AT LEAST IMHO.😁
In floods of tears. This is so profound, deliberate and beautiful

I LOVE this song!! Bette is the greatest performer EVER!
I complete agree, this is the most beautiful version!!!!!!!
Randy is genius. This song is a work of art. The thoughts that went into it are very revealing. Hats off mate.
I just learned my friend and colleague passed away unexpectedly and this song came to mind. RIP, Brian. You'll be missed by so many.
not many people....we need more talent like this in this world.
*BEACHES 1988 CLASSIC... UNTOUCHABLE*
Indeed it is gonna rain today
I’m sure someone has said it already, but if you really felt the movie Beaches, felt the real agony of the ending, this version of the song will always make you tear up a bit.

No One can sing this with anymore feeling and express the sadness...1 and only Bettte
I think she's amazing ,she mesmerizes me.
I love Bette Midler so much!!! She has a TRUE Talent!
~Robb in Chicago
Just spectacular singing - no dancing around or background dancers! She makes singing seem effortless!
Timeless.
No way! NO ONE will ever be able to sing this song more beautifully than Bette.
The place I sing karaoke just got her version at my request. I may try singing it tonight or next week.
Love her style. Sang baby mine to my grandchildren for a lullaby and they loved it. May have loved it much more if Bette was doing the singing...☺
Marje Ketchum sung it to my own kids as well, they liked me singing to them when I put them to bed - before they ever realized I couldn’t sing. 😬

🥰❤From istanbul TURKEY ❤ love Bettie midler 🥰 movie beaches
This is by far the best version of this song.

Perfect Rose Red
My favourite version of an achingly beautiful song.

i love all versions of this song equally..a testament of how wonderful this song is...people should love each other...the only hate should be toward hate itself ....
I have always loved her rendition of this song,. And the movie was so heartfelt,.. We this song right now
bete midler is one of the best singers of this universum ....
I loved the chemistry between Bette and Johnny. It was always a treat to see them interact. A definate mutual respect and admiration they had for each other. Love this song and the movies Beaches. Thanks for posting.
Obviously you know what I meant, as did the 9 other people who agreed with me, but you are absolutely correct. Thank you.
I know randy newman wrote and performed it. but miss midler definitely killed it. one of the hardest scenes on "beaches" when this song came on. 😪 "human kindness is overflowing"
She's unique, so creative, brought originality particularly to her early work.
Johnny loved Bette. You can just hear him sigh a little right as the audience starts applauding.
Always show them the way... human kindness, may leave you lonely, lonely, show human kindness. I think it's going to rain!
i whatched this last night i still enjoy it.
I love this song!
RIP Momma 5/29/17 🕊
Absolutely fantastic what a voice u have ms Midler. Absolutely brilliant ❤️
I've always loved her hand motion when she sings❤️
Ей много было что сказать и она генеално это сделала!!!
Gorgeous!
Love this song...especially from La Bette....I noticed your comment
Thanks for reminding that generosity comes from inside
So sad right now. Needed to hear this.
I live in Ireland…it rains every day
Just heartbreaking, she sings this so beautifully.
I love this and if you want to hear another soulful version listen to Boy George's version it's beautiful as well.
The best version ever
Que linda música!
+Tacilda Aquino Nope.
+Ogoun Nougo The best cover ever. Indeed.Bette Midler's voice is amazing and she puts so much feeling into her songs.
Dusty Springfield does the best version of this by far!
always incredible...she just killed that!
Kudos to anyone who can sing a Newman song and make it sound interesting!
Neil diamond hot August night (1972) best versionever of this song
amazingly beautiful...
I heard this song and I think of my best friend who died 3 years ago at the age of 38
I just saw a version that someone recorded with Natalie Cole playing the piano and singing this in concert, and it is so beautiful.
She's simply brilliant!
Always been one of my Favorite!!!
She will ALWAYS be the Divine Ms. M....
Love this song - movie - soundtrack - love Bette!!!
IMHO her rendition's the best!!! =D

I love how she just fucking sings, and the other musicians have to just keep up
I have listened to several versions of this song on youtube. I think Bette's is the best. Simply beautiful. Beautifully sung. Beautifully arranged. The studio version is better than this live one.
From the movie Beaches-- after Barbara Hershey died-- most beautiful scene ever!
Love this song.
A Bette é uma das minhas cantoras favoritas. grato por postar.
I agree 100%
True perfection.
