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!
Sgt. Pepper Reviewed by Sgt. Pepper on . Any Arlo Guthrie fans? Hey guys. I just wanted to say I caught Nanci Griffith and Arlo Guthrie at the Newport Folk Festival last night and what a show it was! He performed Alice's Restaurant (all 18 minutes of it) to mark the 40th anniversary of his being arrested for littering. Listening to Bob Dylan and seeing Arlo have made me want to take a closer look at folk music and I'm going to start to learn more folk on my guitar. Any other Arlo or folk fans wish to share their comments about what the music means to Rating: 5
