    Bette is pronounced like “bet”. She was named after Bette Davis which is pronounced differently. Anyway, she is one of my favorite singers. She sang a song with Linda Ronstadt. Not a hit but nice. She sings and acts. The movie “Beaches” is a touching movie. I have seen Bette in concert a few times and on Broadway twice. She’s a great talent and known for being outrageous especially in the 1970’s. Love her!

    Well done and especially well commented, as allways lady. I know, that this one hits you deeply. You´re right. Many people don´t know the meaning of love or just treats it as a common good. Make to consume like any other trading stuff. If it don´t fits anymore just abandon this feeling, together with the person they ones loved. Me, I ones was, a simple german navyman serving my country and the woman I love. She abandoned me, cause of my job. She was alone too long. I understood that. Later, she married another guy . Six years later, when our only son died in a train accident and she broked down, this guy left her. I was there, immediatly. I quit the job, just to be at her side. Cause she was my first love, the mother of our son.Never stopped loving her.. Well, we married again 17 years ago now. She granted our love with two lovely daughters. And yes, there is allways something growing, even in the darkest hours. Sometimes you have to fight for it. But there is no greater goal to fight for then your love and the well beeing of your loved ones. Stay safe and healthy out there. Greetings from a simple german sailor.

    You need to add this movie "The Rose" to your movie list released in 1979 the actress and singer's name is actually Bette Midler I think you have an "R" in your title in the name Bette, she plays a singer and the inspiration for the singer in the movie was Janis Joplin but she's not playing Janis Joplin. This has been a favorite song of mine so thanks for doing this. I think as other's have reference below you will also like "Wind Beneath My Wings" that is from another movie she stars in called "Beaches" in 1988 consider adding that to your drama list the official video with clips from the movie may not be best if you are going to watch that movie as well, and Beast of Burden is a fun one and I think you will really like "From a Distance" 😊

She went onto other ballads in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Melissa Manchester was part of her back-up singers, called The Harlettes, in the early 1970s. Katey Sagal, later known as Peg Bundy in "Married...with Children," was as well.

In addition to having a beautiful voice, Bette is a fantastic actor: Ruthless People, Big Business, and of course Hocus Pocus (co-star Doug Jones reportedly could not stop laughing when he first saw Bette in her buck-toothed witch make-up). She does an *incredible* cover of "I Put a Spell On You" in that last movie, absolutely astounding.

Most simply have no clue what "Love" really is, no clue what so ever. In themselves or how it functions or what its made up of.... And if its not what THEY want or fits what THEY percieve? They stop, shut it off, like its a water faucet and abandon it on a whim. Shut themselves off, turn their backs instantly on whomever they had said the words to as if it vanishes if/when it doesn't jive with their own limited understandings.

    Here's what the writer of the song, Amanda McBroom had to say:
    People often ask me what inspired me to write The Rose. Here is the story:
    I was driving down the freeway one afternoon, some time in 1970-something.
    I was listening to the radio. A song came on the radio. It was “MAGDALENA” by Danny O’Keefe, sung by Leo Sayer. I liked it immediately. My favorite line was “Your love is like a razor. My heart is just a scar.”I thought,”Ooh, I love that lyric.”
    As I continued to drive down the road the thought came, I don’t agree with the sentiment. I don’t think love is like a razor. (I was younger then.) What, then, do I think love is? Suddenly, it was as if someone had opened a window in the top of my head. Words came pouring in. I had to keep reciting them to myself as I drove faster and faster towards home, so I wouldn’t forget them. I screeched into my drive way, ran into the house, past various bewildered dogs and cats and husbands, and sat down at the piano. Ten minutes later, THE ROSE was there.
    I called my husband, George, into the room and played it for him, as I always did with my new songs. He listened, and quietly said to me, “You’ve just written a standard.” I protested that no one but my pals would ever hear it. (This is long before I had ever recorded anything.) He said,”Mark my words, something is going to happen with this song.”
    A year or so later, a great young songwriter named Michele Brourman, who became my primary musical collaborator and best friend, said “Listen. There is this movie coming out called “The Rose”. They are looking for a title tune. Do you want me to submit this to them?” I had never really tried to submit this song to anyone. I didn’t consider myself a song writer at the time. So I said, “Sure.” Originally the film had been called THE PEARL, which was Janis Joplin’s nick name. But her family refused permission to use that name. Lucky for me. “Pearl” is MUCH harder to rhyme.
    She submitted the tune to the producers, who HATED it. They thought it was dull and a hymn and NOT rock and roll and totally wrong. They put it in the reject box. But the divine Paul Rothchild, who was the music supervisor on the film, and had been Janis Joplin’s producer, hauled it out and asked them to reconsider. They again said no. So he mailed it to Bette. She liked it, and that’s how it got into the film and changed my life forever.

      It is very hymnic. There are actually hymns that could be set to this tune. But that's a GOOD thing, it makes it timeless.
      It was a great song when Bette Midler did it, it was a great song when Conway Twitty did it and it was a great song when LeAnn Rimes did it.

      Sounds like a download from God, wow, very inspirational, other artists and musicians have stated that similar inspiration like this are from The Lord himself, like it was meant to be heard and felt. Thank you for this back story.

    At the end where she sings “just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes the rose” was saying that when we die we are born again. I guess because of Bette’s character in the movie dies. 🥲
