“Friends” (also titled “(You Got to Have) Friends”) was Bette Midler’s hit single in 1973.
It was written by Buzzy Linhart and Mark “Moogy” Klingman.
The song reached No. 9 on the Adult Contemporary chart and No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
Bette’s rendition captures the essence of friendship—the feeling that lasts from dusk till dawn.
So there you have it: Bette Midler, memories set to music, and a reminder that friends are like cosmic constellations—they light up our lives.
Tell me: If you were a lyric from this song, which line would you be? The nostalgic bridge or the cosmic chorus?
