Colleen Hewett - "The Wind Beneath my Wings"

[Veronlea]

Yes this was the original - didn't she write it?? Middler's version was way inferior yet it received much higher ratings don't know why.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the better version of this song. It's a shame more people do not listen to this and recognise her talent.

@Imamummy2 you took the words right out of my mouth... hate the beaches version.

[LiaMarie27]

This was played at my Nanna's funeral...today is the first time i've listened to it in 3 years...still makes me cry...

This version of the song is no where as good as Middlers version. Not even close. It's just too slow! Not inspired.

@tcpnetworks This is the original. Middlers is only a cover.

This is my all time fav from my years in Australia (81-76). The most beautiful version - I still dont understand it why it was not Colleen who sang in the movie. The Bette Middler's version pales in comparison. Love her then. Is this album available in CD? The album is probably the best Australian album then.

Colleen Hewett is such a great artist.Thanks for sharing

This will always be the best version of this song I still dont understand why this version wasnt used in beaches



[Misukoneko]

This is the best version of this song, Bette Midler ruins it IMHO, more people should know THIS version.

This is one of my all time favorite songs .... as a huge Bette Midler fan i have always thought COLLEEN HEWITT IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THIS SONG JUSTICE .... I have loved her version from the moment i first heard it and no matter how hard anyone else tries they are never going to outdo Colleen. This is for you Dad xoxo

This is the definitive version, real emotion, not Hollywood sentimentality.

Colleen Hewett is incredibly underrated. The voice is a knockout.
