Larry Henley is an American singer and songwriter, born June 30, 1941 in Arp, Texas.[1][2] He is perhaps best known for co-writing (with Jeff Silbar) the 1989 hit record, "Wind Beneath My Wings". The single was a U.S. number one hit for Bette Midler, and has since totaled around six million radio airplays.[3]
The song earned Henley and Silbar the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for 1989, and Bette Midler the Record of the Year award.[4]
He was also associated with the pop group The Newbeats, in the mid-1960s as lead singer, with two hits that charted in the top 20 of Billboard magazine.
He has also composed a number of soundtracks in movies.
Bread & Butter sold over a million copies in America and made it to #2 on the Billboard Charts.
