He has had ten Nº 1 singles on the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts: "Cracklin' Rosie", "Song Sung Blue", "Longfellow Serenade", "I've Been This Way Before", "If You Know What I Mean", "Desirée", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", "America", "Yesterday's Songs", and "Heartlight". Thirty-eight songs by Diamond have been featured in the Top 10 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. He also played in movies such as The Jazz Singer, a musical drama film.

         Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, and he received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. In 2011, he was an honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors, and he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.

          You Don't Bring Me Flowers is Neil Diamond's twelfth studio album. It was released in 1978 to capitalize on the success of the title song of the same name, a duet with Barbra Streisand, which had originally appeared as a solo recording on Diamond's previous album, I'm Glad You're Here with Me Tonight.

Money talks

But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk

And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans

 

Honey's sweet

But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat

And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to say

We'd do okay forever in blue jeans

 

Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight, by the fire

All alone, you and I

Nothing around but the sound

Of my heart and your sighs

 

Money talks

But it can't sing and dance and it can't walk

And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans, babe

 

And honey's sweet

But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat

And if you'll pardon me, I'd like to say

We'd do okay, forever in blue jeans

 

Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight, by the fire

All alone, you and I

Nothing around but the sound

Of my heart and your sighs

 

Money talks

But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk

And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans

 

And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to say

We'd do okay forever in blue jeans, babe

 

And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans, babe.

I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

Before even recording any material, Boyzone made an appearance on RTÉ's The Late Late Show. Their most famous line-up was composed of Keith Duffy, Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham, Ronan Keating, and Shane Lynch. As of 2018, Boyzone have released seven studio albums and nine compilation albums.

        In 2012, the Official Charts Company revealed the biggest selling singles artists in British music chart history, with Boyzone currently placed at 29th and the second most successful boy band in Britain, behind Take That. According to the British Phonographic Industry(BPI), Boyzone has been certified for six million albums and over seven million singles in the UK, with 25 million records sold by 2013 worldwide.

         Boyzone have had six UK Nº 1 singles and nine Nº 1 singles in Ireland. Of the 24 singles they released in the UK, 21 entered the top 40 (including 18 in the top 10 and 12 in the top 2) in the UK charts and 22 singles (including 19 in the top 5) in the Irish charts. They have had five Nº 1 albums in the UK.

         The group split in 1999. Boyzone made a comeback in 2007, originally with the intention of just touring. Gately died on 10 October 2009 of natural causes while on holiday in the Spanish island of Majorca with his civil partner, Andrew Cowles.

          Boyzone went on tour in late 2018 to celebrate their 25th anniversary. An album to celebrate the anniversary was released on 16 November 2018. On 28 April 2018, it was announced that the band would split for good after their anniversary celebrations, which ended in 2019.

          "I Love the Way You Love Me" was covered by the Irish boyband Boyzone. It was released on November 23, 1998, as the fifth single from their third album, Where We Belong(1998). The song has received a gold certification in the UK, where it charted at number two, and in New Zealand, where it topped the New Zealand Singles Chart for two weeks. "I Love the Way You Love Me" was re-produced by Steve Mac for its single release, with the album version being produced by Rose & Foster.

I like the feel of your name on my lips

And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss

The way that your fingers run through my hair

And how your scent lingers even when you're not there

And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh

And how you enjoy your two-hour bath

And how you've convinced me to dance in the rain

With everyone watching like we were insane

 

But I love the way you love me

Strong and wild, slow and easy

Heart and soul so completely

I love the way you love me

 

And I like the sound of old R 'n' B

And you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key

And I like the innocent way that you cry

At sappy old movies you've seen thousands of times

 

But I love the way you love me

Strong and wild, slow and easy

Heart and soul so completely

I love the way you love me

 

And I could list a million things

I love to like about you

But they could all come down to one reason

I could never live without you

 

But I love the way you love me

Strong and wild, slow and easy

Heart and soul so completely

I love the way you love me.

Solo dans ma peau, sur la plage

J'me la joue mélo, je drague les nuages

Solo dans ma fête, c'est dommage

À deux c'est tellement chouette

D'fumer des cigarettes, sur la plage

Solo dans l'bateau, je mets les voiles

Mais solo je prends l'eau, des matelots

 

Où es-tu mon alter, où es-tu mon mégot

Pour moi t'étais ma mère mon père mon rodéo

Je traverse le désert l'amour en solitaire

Reviens moi mon alter, reviens moi héros

Je veux retrouver ma terre ma bière et mon tricot

Plus traverser le désert, l'amour en solitaire

 

Solo sur mon île, sur ma plage

J'me tiens plus qu'à un fil

J'ramasse mon coquillage fragile

Solo dans ma gueule j'peux plus voir

Te voir dans toutes ces gueules en miroir

 

Où es-tu mon alter, où es-tu mon mégot

Pour moi t'étais ma mère mon père mon rodéo

Je traverse le désert l'amour en solitaire

Reviens moi mon alter, reviens moi héros

Je veux retrouver ma terre ma bière et mon tricot

Plus traverser le désert, l'amour en solitaire

 

Solo j'danse le slow sur ta plage

J'm'enroule dans les flots

Solo j'fais naufrage

Mais dans l'fond j'm'en fous

C'est pas grave

Sans toi j'devenais flou

Un point c'est tout.

Je suis descendue du train

Paris au petit matin

Sans toi

 

Et ce matin j'ignorais

Dieu, que ma vie commençait

Sans toi

 

Une sorcière, je suis devenue folle

Une vipère, j'ai croqué la pomme

Sans toi

Sans toi

 

Je dois m'y faire j'ai sur les épaules

Un bulldozer et le mauvais rôle

Sans toi

Sans toi

 

Et la nuit tombée

Pour ne plus jamais pleurer

Je chasse deux-trois paires de bras

Pour m'y réfugier

Seulement le temps d'un baiser

Pour ne plus jamais me voir

Sans toi

Sans toi

Sans toi

 

Les lendemains sont les mêmes

J'ai le cœur en quarantaine

Sans toi

 

Paris ne veut plus rien dire

Si je dois la conquérir

Sans toi

 

Des chants de guerre depuis je composse

Et dans mes airs je te tue en prose

Sans toi

Sans toi

 

M'en fous la bière, m'en fous la cirrhose

Un dernier verre, une dernière dose

Sans toi

Sans toi

 

Et la nuit tombée

Pour ne plus jamais pleurer

Je chasse deux trois paires de bras

Pour m'y réfugier

Seulement le temps d'un baiser

Pour ne plus jamais me voir

Sans toi

Sans toi

Sans toi

Sans toi

Sans toi.
