SugarBabi7 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Just noticed that IL DIVO released their newest CD and it includes Eric's "All By Myself" on it. Has anyone heard their version of his song?Sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesberry Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I haven't heard it. But I did see a Full Page ad for the CD in last Sunday's New York Times, complete with mention of "All By Myself". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 SugarB--Bernie wrote something about the release in November and posted a review of Il Divo's album.... Check it out.... (I found it by punching Il Divo into the search box...) That song's got legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susana Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Well, darn, guess I am just too impatient - where is the clip, SugarBabi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarBabi7 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 If you go to the search engine here, and type in IL DIVO then go to the Nov. post it gives you the link to their website. Poke around in there and you'll find a brief video clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've done that, Susana--you're not alone! LOLI'm glad Eric likes Il Divo's cover. I think it's all very exciting. Now I'm going in search of that video clip! --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I saw a TV commercial for their album, All By Myself was the backgound music for most of the ad.KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Almost in line with the talented Il Divo, I need to ask this (maybe a repeat from the past):I have a vague memory of the Brady Bunch becoming a variety show in the U.S. after the sitcom was cancelled (which would be ! 1975 or so). They were still the Brady Bunch, but also sang and did skits.In one episode, Greg Brady moved out of the house. Soon after, he was singing 'All By Myself' in his new apratment, which then turned into a duet with Mrs. Brady on a split screen.Can someone please tell me that my memory is correct? And if it is, has anyone got a copy?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarBabi7 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Wow, never heard that, but would be interesting to find out.Sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I think I remember reading about that Brady Bunch version, and suspect it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Now that someone also remembered it, I did a search and found this from an episode summary:"Henderson and Williams sang a tandem, she singing "Traces" and he singing Eric Carmen's "All By Myself." It was easily the most poignant moment in this series."Would anyone like to bet whether or not Bernie has both this video clip and the song? Maybe it could be the '06 Christmas present.Or maybe not.

Trindy Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I don't remember seeing the Brady Bunch sketch, but I do remember seeing one on the Donny and Marie show (horrors! Please know, I watched it only to make fun of it) in which Donny was shown walking through a set designed to look like a park, singing ABM, when all of a sudden people showed up out of nowhere and began setting up activities around him, all while ignoring him entirely--hitting him on the head with a volleyball, etc.I also remember seeing Bert Convy sing the song on the Tonight Show once. Not to mention all the times Merv Griffin sang it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
