“Wind Beneath My Wings” 1984 widely recognized through Bette Midler's version in "Beaches," was originally written by Jeff Silbar and Larry Henley as a love song. The song's deeper meaning, a tribute to someone who provides support and inspiration, was realized after its completion. Although Willie Nelson did not write or perform the original version that became famous, he did record a solo version after working on an album with Merle Haggard. | Legendary Country Home
