Order Jake & Friends: https://lnk.to/JakeShimabukuro
Shimabukuro had already become acquainted with Bette Midler – back in 2010, the two performed for no less than Queen Elizabeth II, no less – and when he reached out to the Divine Miss M (who, as it turns out, was also born in Hawaii), he requested that they re-imagine his mother’s favorite song, “The Rose.” Midler sounds heavenly on this stark yet shimmering version of her Golden Globe-winning classic, and Shimabukuro’s graceful, poignant playing serves as the perfect accompaniment. “Recording that song with Bette was a huge deal for me,” he says, “because I knew my mother would love it.”

This rendition of the song is absolutely magical.
Bette Midler is always divine.
Stunning!!
Bathhouse Betty has still got it! This is enchanting.
I went to a Jake Shimabukuro concert and realized music heals.
