Bette Midler made the song famous when she recorded it for her 1979 film The Rose, in which it plays during the closing credits. Amanda McBroom recalls, I wrote it in 1977 [or] 1978, and I sang it occasionally in clubs. ... Jim Nabors had a local talk show, and I sang [The Rose] on his show once. According to McBroom, she wrote The Rose in response to her manager's suggestion that she write some Bob Seger-type tunes to expedite a record deal: McBroom obliged by writing The Rose in 45 minutes.
