By Neil Diamond & Barbra Streisand. Composed by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Neil Diamond. Arranged by Kevin Riley. 20th Century,Film/TV,Pop. 29 pages. Kevin Riley #390350. Published by Kevin Riley (A0.782947)."You Don't Bring Me Flowers" is a song written by Neil Diamond with Alan and Marilyn Bergman for the ill-fated daily TV sitcom All That Glitters. The song was intended to be the theme song, but Norman Lear, the show's creator, changed the concept of the show and the song was no longer appropriate. Diamond then expanded the track from 45 seconds to 3:17, adding instrumental sections and an additional verse. The Bergmans contributed to the song's lyrics, which tell the story of two lovers who have drifted apart while they "go through the motions" and heartache of life together. 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. Early in 1978, Barbra Streisand covered the song on her album Songbird. These recordings were spliced together by different radio stations, creating unofficial duets, the success of which led to the studio bringing them together for an official duet recording, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This orchestral version showcases a duet between Cor Anglais and Bassoon.
