  • LYRICS 2A BEAUTIFUL SONG, IV LOVED FOR OVER 20YRS
    You don't bring me flowers
    You don't sing me love songs
    You hardly talk to me anymore
    When you come thru the door
    At the end of the day
    I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
    Used to hate to leave me
    Now after lovin' me late at night
    When it's good for you, babe
    And you're feelin' alright
    Well you just roll over and turn out the light
    And you don't bring me flowers anymore
    It used to be so natural to talk about forever
    But "used to be's" don't count anymore
    They just lay on the floor
    'Til we sweep them away
    Baby, I remember
    All the things you taught me
    I learned how to laugh
    And I learned how to cry
    Well, I leared how to love
    And I learned how to lie
    So you'd think I could learn
    How to tell you goodbye
    You don't bring me flowers anymore
    Well, you'd think I'd could learn
    How to say tell you goodbye
    You don't say you need me
    You don't sing me love songs
    You don't bring me flowers anymore

    It was the first time they sang this together. For the album, due to professional commitments, they each performed their parts on separate coasts, and a recording company mixed them. This is one of the top truly magical moments in television history.

      “It might very well have been the first Grammy moment ... they [had] never performed the song “live” together, so on February 27, 1980, the lights dimmed at the Shrine Auditorium and Barbara and Neil took the stage to sing one of the classic television duets of all time.”

      It has to do with A TON…!The fact that you are commenting “what that got to do with it” especially considering the abhorrent recent hostility toward Israel and the Jews. I leave you to your own personal “ Quiet”opinion….
      I knew in my head what your profile would be, age, demographic, political affiliation, IQ, and ability to be EMPATHETIC.
      Normadezmond6017.
      Maybe you meant it differently…and you know the history Judea…..Jews have been in ISRAEL since Jesus!they have roots to to core of the earth and let’s not forget that itty bitty thing called the HOLOCAUST. We should be SUPPORTING ALL THE ICONS, ENTERTAINERS, and DIRECTORS. If you don’t decide to do that and support Palestine…may the WRATH OF GOD OR ALLAH CUSH YOU LIKE A BUG!!!

    It's still a knockout punch every time I watch it. You are just amazed at the sheer, raw talent of the likes of Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand - and when you put them together for this duet it is just pure magic. The audience who were there on the night gave a standing ovation, which I'm sure went for many minutes, as they knew they were the presence of a performance that would never be equalled again. You just don't see talent like that anymore.....

    I was merely a child when I saw this live on television that night. I remember how it was all over the radio at the time. Looking back now at this colossal moment for the Grammys that I’d like to point out that this performance is as much about the time as it was performed as it was about the song itself. If you notice the audience applauds at least four or five times throughout the song. Those are the times when audiences appreciated the artist even more than now I think and they showed it by randomly applauding. Those applause, in those moments, you know where exactly the audience were feeling it. Anybody who went to the movie theater in the 1970s and the early 1980s will remember when audiences used to cheer at the screen, used to applaud at the screen, who used to scream at the screen and I mean for the most enthusiastic of films not just some horror movie. Films like “Rocky”, “Grease”, “Superman”, “Star Wars”. Audiences don’t applaud like that anymore. They just don’t respond like that anymore but I still do. ❤

      According to Casey Kasem, it wasn't even a duet originally. Each artist coincidentally released it as a solo song on their own albums, and a Louisville, Kentucky DJ named Gary Guthrie edited a bootleg mashup that got airplay and attention. We actually have him to thank for them deciding to revisit this, and record it as a duet.

    A good bit of acting going on as well as singing. The whole performance was first class. They start out far apart from each other, then as the song progresses, they get closer and closer to each other, until they reconnect at the end. The record itself - before the performance - hints at a reconciliation between the two by the way they first sing the line "So you'd think I could learn how to tell you goodbye," in contrast to the way they sing the line the second time. They first sing it in syncopated time (for the musically unlearned, that means one starts to sing the line and then the other starts singing the same line before the first one gets done singing it. Kind of singing "around", as in row row row your boat), and then the second time they sing the line at the same time. They are then getting back in sync with each other, which hints to a reconciliation. At least, that's how I choose to view the song. The physical contact between the two at the end is more or less a confirmation of the reconciliation.

    I don't think there was a doubt in a single member of that live audience that they were witnessing history--thrilling, tingling, electrifying. Look for a tape of the performance that shows it from the very, very beginning--where Neil and Barbra appear on opposite sides of the stage, pause, and then slowly start walking toward each other. You see, their appearance was a surprise; no one knew they were going to perform; and as they started walking toward each other, slowly but surely the audience recognizes who they are...and as you can imagine, they go crazy! :) I was living in a small apartment in New York and was in another room because of a commercial...and suddenly I heard these delighted cheers. I rushed back to my small TV, and there they were, walking toward each other. I was stunned, and then got really moved. An unforgettable moment on television. :)

  • @kennethhutchings465
    @kennethhutchings465 6 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Interesting background to this song (excerpt from Wikipedia): The roots of the duet version, as chronicled in myriad Streisand and Diamond biographies as well as Streisand's Just for the Record box set, revolve around WAKY-AM/Louisville KY program director, Gary Guthrie, who spliced the two solo tracks together as a going away present to his wife, whom he had just divorced. As the real life fairytale behind the song unfolded, it triggered a media buzz worldwide from Good Morning America and People magazine to the BBC. Interest in the unofficial version of the duet caused such a clamor on the retail level that Columbia Records was compelled to bring Streisand and Diamond into the studio to record an "official" version in October 1978. The song reached number one on the Hot 100 chart for two non-consecutive weeks in December 1978, producing the third number-one hit for both singers
