The story behind the song

This powerful ballad, featured in the 1980 film The Jazz Singer, was born from a collaboration between Neil Diamond and Gilbert Bécaud. It originally began as a more lighthearted, reggae-tinged tune called "Scotch on the Rocks." Recognizing its potential, the writers transformed it into the serious ballad we know today. The song captures a feeling of love facing hardship, like a drink served "on the rocks."
