Wind Beneath My Wings - Beaches

That Song From That Movie

WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

Tissues at the ready. We tag along with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershy as they grow old together in the 1980s melodrama Beaches. Find out if we were able to hold back the tears. The song? Oh just some little-known anthem called "Wind Beneath My Wings", as heard at pretty much all funerals. Ben is at a Working Man's Club karaoke night, Dietrich calls out Smooth Radio's poor formatting and Alex has his All Saints outro stolen.
