Streisand, Diamond consider duet at fund-raiser

LOS ANGELES TIMES
Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond will be on the same stage next month for the first time since Jimmy Carter was president for a concert in Los Angeles to raise money for another Democrat: presidential hopeful Sen. John F. Kerry.
Streisand and Diamond, who topped the pop charts in 1978 with their duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," will be joined June 7 at Walt Disney Concert Hall by Willie Nelson, Billy Crystal and other entertainers. Streisand and Diamond will perform separately, but organizers say they are discussing singing "Flowers" together at the event. Tickets are $2,000 for only the concert. Tickets that include the concert and dinner with the candidate are $10,000 and $25,000 per couple.
Another all-star Kerry fund-raising concert will be June 10 at Radio City Music Hall in New York with Bette Midler, James Taylor, John Mellencamp, Jon Bon Jovi, Wyclef Jean, Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. Tickets for that show are $250 to $25,000 per couple.
Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner is executive producer of both concerts.
