Some songs make me shed a tear, but this is the first song that's ever left me sobbing. Always my favorite Bette Midler song, this version with Jake Shimabukuro went straight to my heart with unmatched simplicity and beauty.
Just magical. Few songs touch me quite as deeply as this one, for so many reasons. It was performed at my wedding over 22 years ago. I'm sitting here with tears & chill-bumps, with a smile on my face and in my heart.
MrCarbine9 I'm aware that In My Life was written by John Lennon, but it's Bette recording of it in For the Boys that I most associate with it.

No, there is an electric bass. Not to take anything away from the absolutely stunning talent of Jake!

Just. Beautiful.
(And, no, there was no electric bass. That was all Jake. Amazing).

@anchorskid It is The Beatles' song (specifically, John Lennon's song), not Bette Midler's.

Great number. It sounds like an electric bass joined in around 1:33; I'm surprised he or she wasn't on stage as well.
