most people don't know that she wrote and performed "wind beneath my wings" that Bette Middler made famous
Funny you mention that, because Nanci performed "From a Distance," another song that helped Bette's career. Turns out the record label didn't like Nanci's voicce very much, so they kept her version from getting as much exposre. On stage, Nanci said, "Look where I am today, and look at at Bette Middler's career!" Ouch!
