Release[edit] Paper Roses was the first song recorded by Osmond, and also her first single release. The single was released in August 1973. MGM promoted the single first to country radio, and received a favorable reaction to the song from radio stations and disc jockeys.
Janis Joplin never sang The Rose. She died in October of 1970 and the song wasn't written until 1979. Bette Midler performed the song. The song was written and first preformed by Amanda McBroom, which is why it was not eligible for an Oscar as best song from a movie. 19 people found this useful.
