Barbra StreisandHer life didn’t just inspire her hits – it also apparently led to others benefiting from her chart success… including Aerosmith, who followed her on her coattails.
According to Barb’s new memoir, “My Name is Barbra.” Steven Tyler etc. She owes her hugely popular single “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”… because she says that the inspiration for the song actually came from something her husband once told her in bed.
The way BS tells it…her and her boyfriend at the time James Brolin were lying next to each other one night (sometime in the mid-90s), not long after they first met or started having sex.
She says they were staring at each other when JB said… “I don’t want to fall asleep.” She asked why and he replied, “Because I’m going to miss you.” Barb adds… “What a beautiful, poetic statement . And it captured a moment of complete bliss… physically, emotionally, spiritually.”
About a year later, in 1997, Barbra said she did an interview with Barbara Walters on “20/20” where she recounted this sweet moment… something Diane Warren Barbra claims that she also watched the broadcast of this episode from home.
One thing led to another and DW ended up writing Aerosmith’s first number one hit in 1998…which was used in “Armageddon” and was also nominated for an Oscar that year.
After seeing how much success the song had, Barbra writes… “It was so gratifying to see how many people responded to Jim’s words. Well, no wonder…me too!”
Super cool story!
