This song first became a hit in a version by country balladeer Garry Morris. 6 years later Bette Midler recorded what, by many, is considered the definitive version for the movie Beaches. The song's lyrics of personal tribute have made it one of the most popular songs for funerals of all time.

For you are the wind beneath my wings
