What a beautiful song. I never get tired of hearing it and I never get tired of Miss Midler's wonderful voice. A true artist in evey sense of the word. Thanks for posting this.
What's also great about this song is acknowledging that the other person may not have been as popular as you, but is just as important and helps your ass out. Simpson would never have understood this.
@@donseeley6293 her other big song, " From a Distance " actually came out during the Gulf War, was performed by her for the Gulf War, their is a great live performance of her singing it on stage & it is gorgeous. She is very sweet in this video, you need to watch it
Bette Midler,you are the best,I don’t mind giving a comment every time I heard you singing,thanks for You tube,you are one of the best female artists of all times,enjoy your retirement life and all the best
Saw Bette Midler a few years back in concert at the Boston Garden. Truly a Once in a Lifetime experience ! Versatile, Comic, Passionate, Beautiful ! One of the BEST PERFORMERS of our lifetimes. If you have the chance, by all means, go to see her talents in person. You will never forget it ! ! ! ❤
I think what makes it more touching is that it was done during the tribute to the Academy members who had left us during the past year and that a lot of them were heroes to us that are missed.
Bette I'm HIV and dying by my choice..But YOU inspire me and make my WORLD more comfortable and I WISH my family understood how much I LOVE THEM.......XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXO
Illness is something you can always overcome. Thank God for YOU. And your parents, and family. They are the wind beneath your wings. Thank God for being YOU. You are special. You just have let it sink in.
Jesus is your friend and he loves you very much, you will be ok, I declare on you in the name of Jesus full healing in your body, I promise you, you will be ok.

So many covered this song since its original inception but Bette, this song is all yours as a signature song. :) Its a beautifully written and crafted song in lyrics and melody. :)
This song reminds me of my mom when she died at 49 from lung cancer. RIP mom I hope to see you soon one day. Bette Midler is always great with her songs.
My dad loved this my grandad died over 14yrs ago but dad said this song was for grandad I loved him that's the way dad felt about. My mums dad I always, like his one x😢
Every now and then a song comes around that and artist makes there own and no one should try and cover. This song belongs to Bette Midler her heart makes this song come alive.
Absolutely Love " Bette Medler '" Every Since, I heard, *** The Rose **** at Age of 16🤍❤️🇱🇷💙....... Love, Love, Love " Beaches " Movie, & ** Wind Beneath my Wings !!! Such a Beautiful n Powerful song!!!! Love you Bette midler, Amazing Artist!!!!! 🌟🤍❤️💚💙🌟
I lost my bff of 45 years today. She was my hero and the wind beneath my wings. I pray she knows how much I loved and admired her. You will be missed my Sweet Popcorn! 💕💕💕
Thank you Bette Midler. You are are a true talent. With all the hate, violence, crime, suicides, and bad things in the world, your songs make up for all of that and more. God Bless you!
Dear God! This song came to my mind this afternoon and I remembered it as "Hero." I love this "older Bette Midler" version, which is so tender and from the heart. I used to dislike her singing of it in the 1980's and I repent!
below the sand my eyes buried in the darkness without colours and light and you and you you taking my hands helping me to fly fly fly flying away saving my life of the completly silence and nothingless my song and my voice are free for your mercy you make me fly like an eagle you are the wind beneath my winds thank you thank you for sing this song to me i'll always love to you my sweet Bette Middler thak you to you you.. you
Another legend of all time,can act and sing,her voice is full of emotions and sentiments,love her so much,really miss her,hope she is keeping safe and all the best from her fans
It must have been cold there in my shadow, To never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way. You always walked a step behind. So I was the one with all the glory, While you were the one with all the strength. A beautiful face without a name for so long. A beautiful smile to hide the pain. Did you ever know that you're my hero, And everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, For you are the wind beneath my wings. It might have appeared to go unnoticed, But I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could…
Seen her in concert twice and she has helped me in my saddest times etc she has stood number one in my heart for over 20 years I have a connection to her songs if I am ever in pain I play her songs and if I ever want to cheer my self up I only play Bette movies so when the time comes I will be so heartbroken to the core because she has helped me so much more then Bette Midler will ever know
I was watching this broadcast live when Bette sang this song. I have never seen "Beaches," but I love this song. I was in tears watching Bette's passionate performance of this... especially after the montage of all those we lost that year.
Was glad to see Roger Ebert in the group. Gene wasn't listed the year he died. But it could be that Roger was an honorary member of the Director's Guild, so that qualified him.
she is such a good singer. Love this song we had the little tiny beaches single CD in the card flip case. This and the other 2 songs. Loved that that little CD played it and sang it with my parents ! Love Bette Midler. Went on holiday and somone had left her CD at the lodge and there was an old Hifi were singing this and from a distance all of us. Here she sings it still so well after these years, her voice has aged and of coarse its not as powerful but the emotion is there and that lacks with many singers when they sing it again and again and she still has it. You could see she was putting extra effort in at the end too as it is a tiring song especially after so many years of singing and the wear on your voice.
She is still incredible like when she song Hero in beaches. I never get tried hearing her songs and I enjoy her wonderful voice. I wish one day I might have the chance to meet her
Love Bette! Such a shining talent. Her great personality really shines. I grew up singing all of her songs. I performed Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys in college. Bless you, Bette….
Bette midler is a true icon and Devine I fell in love with her songs when I first heard wind beneath my wings when 3 years old but I didn’t get into her movies and songs till 2001 when I endured heartache and heart brake know she is a big part off my life I absolutely adore her I’m her biggest fan
it took me so long to listen to this, having it played at so many funerals, World AIDS Day, Remember those who are no longer with us, Wear a Red Ribbon with Pride
2014… So she was…what, 69?? Unbelievable…but that’s our Bette. We are so lucky to have her. Americans especially - but she is an international treasure too. We Europeans also love her - so much. At least I adore her like nobody else ❤️
2020 who's watching this unforgettable performance of this majestic beautiful voice of this incredible Diva.....❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't get enough of seeing this beautiful performance, Bette Midler has the power to touch the soul with your voice.
I am hahaha
@@TheOnlyWes25 I am watching it & it is Sept 29th, 2021
2022, i'm here ahahah
@@matildemartegani3906 Me too.
One of the best performances ever in the OSCARS....voice, soul....what a lovely tribute for the Memorian
Goosebumps....
No one can sing this song better than Bette Midler
Except, maybe Perry Como - like, you pays Your money and takes your choice...
And the Oscar Goes to Bette Midler.,.,¡¡¡
Supposed to be...
good
If only the industry offered roles to Miss M, I'm sure she would earn an Oscar. Bette is also divine as an actress.
yes
She got a nomination for The Rose.
There is no one quite like Bette! A true legend!
The most brilliant singer, personality, everything she does is fantastic
2022 and still love her voice ❤️
2024 AND I HATE HOW SHE BUTCHERS THE FLY FLY SO HIGH IN THE SKY EVERYTIME LIVE. 🙄
What a beautiful song. I never get tired of hearing it and I never get tired of Miss Midler's wonderful voice. A true artist in evey sense of the word. Thanks for posting this.
It fit this In Memorium so well. They should do it every damn year.
this song dedicated for desert storm war, my brother in law was there
What's also great about this song is acknowledging that the other person may not have been as popular as you, but is just as important and helps your ass out. Simpson would never have understood this.

I wish this video would hit 1 million or more this year,
No one will EVER be able to do it better than our Bette!! Love you!! Thanks for this gem of a song!

sha11245, like her friend & costar Dennis Farina, he died suddenly of a Pulmonary embolism, same thing that killed my husband's dad at 58,
Watching this and remembering Robin Williams right now, it brings tears to my eyes..
He will be in next year's one. I think they should put him at the end.
Bette I'm HIV and dying by my choice..But YOU inspire me and make my WORLD more comfortable and I WISH my family understood how much I LOVE THEM.......XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXO

I love her. She was so perfect for the movie beaches.
The first time I heard her sing this I got goosebumps and I still do. Bless you Bette.
Why?? Why does this song make my CRY?!
I think it's because I wanted a parent, as a child, who encouraged me like this. ❤
This song gives me goose pimples because it has lyrics that are mind blowing! and vocally outstanding! Beautiful lady!xxx
I could watch her sing the newspaper she has the most beautiful amazing voice I have ever heard, and I am not kidding, her voice gets to me bad,
do we all, and i mean everyone in this world, agree that at one point in time we relate to this song and touched our hearts one way or another
Stop being so fabulous! Stunning!

Paul William Walker IV (1973-2013) "Always in Our Hearts"
He's an actor from Fast and the Furious, who died in a car crash in 2013.
Wow! Bette looks great!
Love this!!!! Wow! Became obsessed when I discovered it such a beautiful song
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could…
sin palabras, canta como un angel!!!

Thank god I discovered this song WITHOUT being in any of those situations. I discovered it going through the billboard the website when it hit #1
This was simple, beautiful, and to the point. Excellent Job.
This should be done every year at the Oscars when they do the In Memorium. But knowing the Academy unclefuckers, they won't think of it.
For my Dear Husband 10 month today, I miss him so much!
