Yes, Bette Midler performed a beautiful, slowed-down ballad version of TLC’s 1995 hit “Waterfalls” during her 2014 UK television special titled Bette Midler: One Night Only. The show was hosted by Joanna Lumley on ITV (not BBC), where Midler celebrated her career and promoted her album It’s the Girls!, which features covers of classic girl group songs—including this reimagined take on “Waterfalls” (without the original rap verse).
