Bette Midler - “Wind Beneath My Wings”

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve sung this song to my friends as a joke. I’ve also lost track of how many times I heard it growing up, because my mom was a big Bette Midler fan.

As far as ultra-sappy ’80s ballads go, this has to be one of my favorites. And even though I’ve never seen “Beaches,” this clip almost makes me want to cry a gay tear for Bette Midler’s dying friend.
