The Classic Love Song The Rose was created by Amanda McBroom in 1977. The song came together quickly as she drove on the LA freeway and thought about what is love. She put her thoughts into words with a tune on the piano and within minutes The Rose was born. Amanda was the first one to record the song and she also sang it at night clubs. A year later the movie The Rose was in production, her song was considered for the title song however the producers thought it was too slow. Bette Midler , the star of the movie heard the song and loved it, and the rest is history.
