"All I ask of You" is, IMO, the most intensely emotional romantic duet since the days of N&J. There was an intensity, a sexuality, to their duets (best example "Wanting You" in New Moon) that has never been matched since.
"All I ask of You" HAS that intense, rip your heart out kind of quality that hasn't really been done in 50 plus years.

That's a better way of saying how it affected me than any way I could have said it. To me, it felt anointed, which is an extraordinarily unusual thing for me to say about music outside the church, or music by what we would think of as secular artists. It didn't affect just my soul; it moved upon my spirit.

I understand that COMPLETELY, Gretchen.

That is a breathtakingly touching song .. and, though I despise BStreisand for her politics and vicious Bush attacks, I recently heard her version of "All I Ask of You" ... I put the "person" out of my mind and just listened to the voice .. oh my, brings tears. Such a shame her gift is used in such vile ways.
