You Don’t Bring Me Flowers (Barbra Streisand’s album edit)
~ Recording by Barbra Streisand with Neil Diamond
Annotation
This is regarded as the first 'official' recording/release of this duet by Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond of the song they had each originally recorded separately as solos. Diamond had first recorded his in his 1977 album, I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight, while Streisand's solo version appeared in her May 1978 album, Songbird, before the two finally recorded the duet in Oct 1978, and it was included in her 1978 compilation, Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits, Volume 2, as well as a slightly shorter edit (~3:18) included in Diamond's You Don't Bring Me Flowers (1978). The circumstances that led to the duet are themselves quite remarkable, and are detailed here:
