You Don't Bring Me Flowers

"You Don't Bring Me Flowers" is a song written by Neil Diamond with Alan and Marilyn Bergman for the daily TV sitcom All That Glitters.

[2] In 1977, Diamond released the album I'm Glad You're Here with Me Tonight, which included the track "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" as a solo performance.

As the real-life story behind the song unfolded, it triggered a media buzz worldwide, from Good Morning America and People magazine to the BBC.

The song reached number one on the Hot 100 chart for two non-consecutive weeks in December 1978,[7] producing the third number-one hit for both singers.

[11] The story of how it happened was recalled by Alicia Keys on the CBS network television special, My Night at the Grammys, which aired on November 30, 2007.

Keys said, “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 Barbra and Neil took the stage to sing one of the classic television duets of all time.” Diamond and Streisand had planned to star in a motion picture based on the song, but such plans were cancelled when Diamond starred in a remake of The Jazz Singer (1980).
