A little more history on "The Rose"..(One of my all time favorite songs) Originally sung by Bette Midler
In 1977 aspiring singer songwriter Amanda McBroom was under pressure from her manager to create a song that could help her get a record deal. While driving in her car in Los Angeles one day McBroom heard Danny O'Keefe’s song Magdelena on the radio. Intrigued by the line “Your love Is like a razor, my heart is just a scar”, McBroom started thinking. She loved the line but was dismayed by O'Keefe’s negative interpretation of love. McBroom challenged herself to define love in a song, according to her own belief system. The result of her inspired effort was “The Rose”.
