Comments

Didn't they go to high school together?

Quite an involved story behind this duet. The song was originally recorded by Neil Diamond in 1977. Barbra heard it and recorded a cover of it in 1978. Neither version became a hit. But then radio DJ's in several cities got the idea of putting the two versions together, with Neil and Barbra trading lines as they do here. It created such a stir, with people wanting to buy the duet as a record that the record company finally had to talk Neil and Barbra into coming back into the studio to do an "official" duet, which became a huge hit. This performance, done at the 1980 Grammys, was the first time they ever sang it in front of an audience.

Yep. They were classmates at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn NY.
