Just Shoot Me #712
"You Don't Bring Me Flowers" , the gag-me-with-a-spoon hit from Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond made it's Top 40 debut on this day (11/4) back in 1978. Another Whiney song at the top of the charts, and these two sing lovingly about the death of their romance. Neil Diamond was a pop force in the late 60's and early 70's, but this just sucks. And I never liked Streisand, anyway. Both were only in their late 30's when this came out, but this is a song for anybody's parents' generation, no matter how old you are.

I take umbrage! Umbrage I say! Neil Diamond has, and will, rock the casbah until his last dying day, or, at least, until he turns out his heart light.
I suppose you're right, Jnathan... Mr. D did return to his form after this with that hard-rocking classic "Forever In Blue Jeans"....
