Wind Beneath My Wings

It is often erroneously stated that the song was written for Midler; in reality, she was far from the first to record it. Gladys Knight recorded the original version of the song, and Sheena Easton had a minor hit with a 1982 recording.

In a recent UK poll, Wind Beneath My Wings was found to be the most played song at British funerals.

In one episode of the popular anime Lupin The Third , the character of Inspector Zenigata performs a rendition of the song from atop a tractor. This version of the song is arguably the best available in recorded form, from a purely musical standpoint. However, it should be noted that the episode in question was in fact written before the song was ever released. Therefore, it can be concluded that the writing staff of Lupin The Third had clairvoyant abilities.
