Editor's note

Bette Midler, from Broadway to The Rose

A performer who moved from off-Broadway shows to Oscar-winning ballads and boogie-woogie.

For the full picture, listen to "The Rose" and then "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." They're about as far apart as you can get, and both are her.

She earned an Academy Award for "The Rose," the ballad from the 1979 film. That song and "Wind Beneath My Wings" became signature pieces, but her range shows in the playful energy of a track like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." She built a career that wasn't just one thing.

She started in off-Broadway shows in New York during the 1960s after moving from Hawaii. By 1970 she was on Broadway in "Fiddler on the Roof," and later in the decade she recorded the film ballad that defined a new chapter.
