Mark’s Gift To You
The biggest song of 1978 and one of the greatest moments of Live TV, watch Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand perform their duet of “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” at the 1980 Grammys. Fun Fact: The pair decided just the night before the show to perform the song and rehearsed it over the phone.
Stephanie says
Loved the music on last week’s show, brought back many memories. But more than that, I got such a laugh when Lynda came in early on the birthday chicken. Needed the laugh today, can always depend on you two to brighten my spirits. Thanks so much.

I knew before he even said it!! … As the list progressed I said out loud in the car, “where the FUCK is ‘You don’t bring me flowers?!?’”
Thanks for catching that one Mark.
Love you guys.

Just a compliment for the Radio God. I listen to podcasts while I’m in the shower, and have to leave the phone next to the shower so it doesn’t get wet. Most podcasts have such poor production value that I can barely hear them at the loudest volume over the sound of the water. Mark’s podcasts are so well done that I have no problem hearing them. I really appreciate it! Wish you could do all the podcasts! 😉

Hi Mark and Lynda loved the show the list is the list and all the podcasts. But I was wondering about the duet’s list what happened to Lynda’s crush Donny and his sister Marie and there songs together. And Rg just to let you know here in Portland Oregon the radio station’s still have DJ’s all day yes even kgon.

Lynda,when Mark and Brian get inducted into the Hall of Fame (Which we all know is going to happen) will you be ready for a whole weekend of Mark talking radio with his fellow radio legends?

Loved the music on today’s show! Brought back great memories, including seeing Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell on the “The Groovy Show” with Michael Blodgett and Kam Nelson, with my family. I was a kid and my dad was on the show in a close-up, something my brother and I have been trying to get a copy of since he passed away years later, to no avail sorry to say…
Love you guys!

You Don’t Bring Me Flowers Anymore stinks worse than Mark’s shorts that he crapped in at the Polo Lounge.
Ronald Scott says

On the left handed topic, you mentioned that a study stated ” its thought not to be genetic since twins have opposite handiness ……… Well i have 15 yr old triplets, one is right handed, one is left handed and the other eats and writes left handed but everything else he does right handed, so i have one of each !!! Love you and the whole family, pups included.
Chris says
Thank you for sharing this story and the video of Neil and Barbara. I agree this song should be at the top of the list.
