...seem at all confused-or at least don't care if they are-are the millions of fans who have given Diamond, by his own reckoning, 20 platinum and gold albums and over 30 hit singles, including 1978's You Don't Bring Me Flowers, a duet with Barbra Streisand.

He also shines in the operetta's finale, bursting on the scene singing movingly the last refrain of "I Have a Song," and perishing.
