    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!

    I admire this woman a lot. I'm a 40-year-old guy and this brought me to tears. How they don't break out in tears during these kinds of performances is beyond me.

      @@rieslingsemillon7565 I will never stop listening to her beautiful voice, she is an angel with the most heartfelt angelic voice ever, what I've been through this last 20 years with my precious grandsons being severely abused by their stepdad, is the most heart broken I have ever been, and the loss of a friend in 1994, that just about did me in, then the abuse & torture of my grand babies

      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. 👍😁🍺

    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.

    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}.
