I love Bette when she sings she smiles

The truth is, performance can carry you along on top of your emotions. You can be inches from collapse and the force of performance can hold off the edge. You don't want to disappoint the folks in the audience. You want them to feel your emotions not be drowned by them. So swallow that knot in your throat and keep belting it out.

Mama RU always educating the children

You can tell Bette patterned herself after dusty

Beautifully sung and meaningful

She always sounds so beautiful when she sings this, I always get chillis & misty eyed

Bless her heart, I feel so sad for her, I feel so sad for all the ones that she lost, that is hard to lose that many friends.

POW WOW WOW!

Sad and very difficult time for so many. Still miss Richard, Lynn, Jonathan, John, Gary, and so many more

"In My Life" is a Beatles song that she sang in "For The Boys". "Friends" has been her theme song for years.

You should put "In My Life" in the title of this video. This is a tune she's never put on record.

Thank you RPDR for bringing me to this beautiful song that right now I see more like a feeling a few of us understand

Did Rupual Deag race send u here?

Love this!!

Thank Ru for teaching me about this one. This is so moving

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Finale brought me here. Beautiful moment, Bette. ❤️

Thanks RPDR for introducing me to this heart-warming, soul comforting song. My heart is so happy hearing this song. Brava miss bette midler brava👏👏👏

This is what prayer at church should be

At the end she was linked arm in arm with Carol Channing and then 30 years later took on the role in Hello Dolly.

It’s AIDS to AIDS 🙄

she speaks of Dusty with great affection.

THANK YOU, Bette for your kind words and professional opinion of the WONDERFUL DUSTY

for the boys, please

The best I ever saw Bette midler was 1972 at the capital theater in Passaic, nj. That's when she was still born in Paterson, nj, just over the mountain from Passaic. And Melissa Manchester was the lead harlette, trashing it up with the divine miss m. A shamed they both abandoned these personalities and becam vanilla and mainstream.

What year is this? Saw her at an AIDS benefit at Lincoln center, she was younger and very sincere saying that she had seen too much death. And did "I'll be seeing you" unbelievable. The east coast still has a rawness and sincerity that is missing in la.

It would have been interesting to know what song she was referring to regarding Dusty Springfield. Bette is spot on regarding Dusty Springfield.

I love bette so much! She is my number one favorite actress and singer. My idol is her.

Anyone have "l'll be seeing you" from an earlier AIDS benefit in New York? So wonderful to see Melissa Manchester, ones of the original harlettes, there. She and the divine miss m played off each other so wonderfully back in 1972. The capital in Passaic nj. Anyone have a recording or of miss m at the theater at the Bergen mall in Paramus nj? That's when miss m claimed to be born in Paterson, nj. Maybe miss m is a jersey girl and Bette midler was born in Hawaii. I actually think Paterson is more interesting than Hawaii as much as I think the divine miss m is more interesting than Bette midler. Oh well.

who is the person beside Bette? last to leave stage.

Thank you for posting this! I really want to watch old episodes and share with family, but I can't even buy an episode! Where did they hide the show?

Bette Midler, Miss Devine!!...She is a Legend!! she is one of the last apart from Barbara Streisand, ultimate true performer, whom can change a persons mood on a dime!!..Sings with so much feeling, and takes us All on her journey.

this is so touching and emotional. its very hard to pull a song and sing it live when this song is to those people whom you love but already past...but the Divine Ms. M. is truly an artist and she definitely and as always be a legend now and then...<3<3<3

@natalieinge if that doesnt make you want to cry theres something wrong with the world

Bette's one of those people that never fails to amaze you think you know what she does and then she amazes you again

Love you Bette.

I was there for all 3 days of shooting this, and have many pictures, some which were up on the BBC website for a couple of years. I had a great time...and I was on the other side of the gate when Bette walked in. The heat was dreadful, and I can't believe they held up. I had a squirt fan that I sprayed them with that I kept in a cooler. Great memories!

@YoyoMammogram no she does not. she started out singing cabaret at the continental bathhouse in NY, got the nickname "Bathhouse Betty" and was a big hit on the gay scene, and obviously being in showbiz had a lot of gay friends. she did a lot of aids benefits and charity work. she has said that the people she started out with are nearly ALL dead from aids now and its a cause close to her heart.

you hear she has a difficult time herself. so touching!!

Hales, this video is awesome. I don't know how she made it through the song. Its a really touching performance. Thanks for posting it !

No one can convey feelings, in a song, better than The Divine Miss M.

i love you bette

Bette is a real class act

real cool

Gosh, that was so much fun! I do so admire Bette for all her hard work! And she's not afraid to get in with everyone else and get dirty to get the work done! She's an amazing woman!

Hi Hayley, So good to see Bette's city gardens projects. Read about it but really good to see her have such a great time. She is terrific, isn't she? Thank you, Debby

Oh Hayley! You know how to brighten my day. Thank you soooo MUCH! I love you!

thanks sooooooo much hayley ilysfm

To Britney Spears, Madonna, Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne: Take note, Miss M has more talent in her pinky toe than any of you have in your own body. This woman is THE consumate entertainer. You MUST see her live in concert. She will take you from laughing hysterically to sobbing your eyes out within a second. Bette truly is the last of the true entertainers. May she live forever.
