How Barbra Streisand Unknowingly Inspired Aerosmith’s Biggest Hit
A Barbra Streisand anecdote about new love helped Aerosmith score their first and only No. 1 song.
A Barbra Streisand anecdote about new love ultimately helped Aerosmith core their first No. 1 with 1998's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."
The singer was discussing a budding relationship with fiance James Brolin while appearing on a 20/20 report by Barbara Walters (as related in a new feature about "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" at the Ringer). "And we're just about to fall asleep, I thought. And he says, 'I don't want to fall asleep,'" Streisand said back then, with her eyes closed to the camera. "And so I say, 'Why not?' And he says, ''Cause then I'll miss you.'"
