    We played this song at my mums funeral. Finally she was reunited with her big love again. I still can’t listen to this song without crying even though it has been 3 years now that she left us. I miss you so much mum and dad!

      Many ladies have come close since her,especially Jennifer Nettles. However, it's probably a huge and correct call. In about 1979 or 1984,when she was at her peak, before becoming an excellent actress, she had one of the best voices ever. 👍😁🍺

    On this day in 1979 {Nov. 7th} the Bette Midler movie "The Rose" opened in theaters across the U.S.A. and Canada.
    The film received four Academy Award nominations; 'Best Sound', 'Best Score', 'Best Supporting Actor {Frederic Forrest, won by Melvyn Douglas for 'Being There'}, and 'Best Actress' {Bette Midler, won by Sally Field for 'Norma Rae'}.
    Two songs featured in the movie charted; "When A Man Loves a Woman" {#35} and "The Rose" {#3, which spent almost a half-year on the Top 100, 25 weeks}.

    Perfect. Just Wow. Emotionally devastating and liberating all at once. Pitching, phrasing, harmonies, accompaniment; it's all top class. This is a masterclass of less is more in music and Bette's voice is just superb!

    Good grief, what a beautiful voice. I remember watching her on a TV special in the early 70's. What a great energetic show she put on, in her boogie woogie bugle boys days. Nobody worked harder than she did to get where she is.
