About this album

Beaches is a warmly remembered soundtrack that helped define Bette Midler’s late-1980s pop profile. Anchored by her hit reading of Wind Beneath My Wings, the album pairs emotional ballads with easy-listening, jazz and stage-and-screen touches that suit the film’s bittersweet story of friendship and loss. Alongside Midler’s signature vocal performances, the set also includes Under the Boardwalk, The Glory of Love and The Friendship Theme, reinforcing its nostalgic, crowd-pleasing appeal. Released in 1988, the soundtrack became closely identified with the film’s success and remains one of Midler’s most popular recordings, thanks to its blend of sentiment, melody and mainstream charm.
