This is Babs at what she does best, And to Grooverunner, Barbra recorded all the following Laura Nyro songs from Flim Flam Man/Hands off the Man, Stoney End, I never meant to Hurt you, & Time and Love, There's no disputing La Streisands talent, but those who know Laura Nyro's music and her work, not too mention one of the most beautiful voices ever to grace the world, there is just nothing like the real thing. in this case, the original, Laura's version.
Just like Dionne worked with Bacharach/David, I wish that Streisand would have sang a whole lot more of Laura Nyro's songs and had them produced by Richard Perry. this is just "magic". thank you!
I just played this song three times... I just heard this song for the first time and now I'm in the state of a broken heart....this song makes me tear so greatly but it's true... I never meant to hurt you..............all I meant is LOVE
Thanks again for everything Paul. You have been a great friend and I learned a lot from you. I hope you and Lea have a wonderful life together. And Barbra, as always, thanks for the fantastic music!
Geez, I love this song and her beautiful voice!! I can't find this one on Itunes. I once played this for an ex-boyfriend when I did something hurtful to him, lol...He liked it and quickly accepted my apology.
I love this ballad arrangment too. Thank you so much for putting these beautiful songs. I would actually love to hear her version of Carol King's "Where to lead" from this album.
Best version ever!

Barbra's finest recording ever. Period. A gloriously simple and flawlessly written tune sung by the greatest "singing actress" ever. Pure perfection.

Have to disagree. This is Bab's at her most nuanced. Low on pyrotechnics, just gentle and humble.....LOVELY!
