You HAVE TO see his movie The Jazz Singer!!! Awesome movie, but the critics were so hard on him, he never did another movie again. Desi Arnez and Lawrence Olivier. Just a fantastic movie!
Neil doesn't get the respect he deserves. The Jazz Singer has to be mentioned when talking about great soundtracks and is a solid remake. But his entire catalog should be shown more love. Thanks for reminding me of how good it is!!!!!
Music critics are often full of it. The general public usually likes anything that's really, really good if they get a chance to hear it. And the general public loves Neil Diamond. If I were him I'd have laughed at Rolling Stone giving all my albums two stars. Best selling albums. The absolute top concert draw in the U.S several years running! He got the love that matters.
Omgosh yesssss oh yesssss!!! They are just so fire together, love them so much!!!!🥰💑 Also, I have to mention that absolute fire "Play Me" duet with Shirley Bassey will just....make u melt into a puddle of love..lol 🥰🥰🥰
Yes it is. Neil reached a peak as singer/songwriter in 1976 with the Beautiful Noise album. But between 1977 and the Jazz Singer soundtrack. He had very Adult Contemporary albums with inclusive hit songs sprinkled in working with outside songwriters a lot more. But his last 4 or 5 albums of the past 20 years leading to his recent health related retirement. Were really quite good. With moments of substantial greatness throughout. He is a fully realized music icon. The Jazz Singer had 3 instant classic hits. His vocals had reached a peak of sensitive warmth meets masculine grit and had become one of the finest Pop vocalists of the era and his generation.
The Greatest song about a Dad!!! "The Leader of the Band"-Dan Fogelberg who left us in 2007.....Very meaningful song...you Will be touched....thankyou Jamel.....Paul
Neil Diamond was one of my great favourites growing up. This was from a wonderful film, a remake, called 'The Jazz Singer'. The original was made by Al Jolson. Love from the UK
This is from the remake of the Jazz Singer. The original was the first talkie ever, and this was remade with Neil as the lead and Sir Lawrence Olivier as his father.
You could keep busy with Neil; he has had hits over 6 decades. His voice reaches me in a way that no other singer’s does. You are right that he is an amazing story teller. ❤️
Neil at his best. ...... he had the voice he had the songs.......... and he had the ability to make you believe what he was singing about........the whole package back in the day....
It's a good movie re-make. When I got married we were at the bar and my maid of honor called out to the band lead "These two just got married, play them a song!" and this is what they played. Prophetic, actually; I divorced the guy, married him again a few years later (we had kids together) but sadly, love was on the rocks. I am SO GLAD to hear Neil Diamond, My first concert when I was 12, with my mom!
Yep, the movie is “the jazz singer” loosely based on Neil Diamond's real life. His parents wanted him to be a rabbi but he has dreams of being a famous singer, singing Secular songs. So it’s a struggle between his relationship with his father and mother and his life long dream.
Yes it is from “The Jazz Singer” from which Neil Diamond starred with Lucy Arnaz and Sir Laurence Oliver. Good movie but panned by the critics. Neil never did another movie. He wrote the music for the movie.
It is a movie ! The jazz singer 1980 ! Great movie ! This scene is he was going to sell this song his lyrics to that Rock dude and Neal didn’t like how he was going to do it , so he asked if he could show guy , how he wrote it and show him how he wanted it and then of course the guy didn’t want to hear it so Neil took the song and did himself
Scott DeBerg Right, the single has an additional stanza that starts, "You need what you need, you can say what you want..." also Neil sang, "Gave you my heart" instead of "Gave me your heart" as be did here, ^man^ is this a song to sng along with when someone's just shredded your heart. 😫 ❤️
One of my many favs of Neil Diamond....my heart is touched with everything the man sings. I grew up on Neil and many memories of my family are wrapped around this wonderful mans songs and that voice. His voice is so peaceful and familiar. Family days out on the boat, camping, fishing, at home playing pool or just sitting around talking....Neil would be playing in the background. We all loved hearing him sing.. Memories flood back with certain songs. I can remember where I was and what I was doing with everyone. God bless ✌
This is the official video version from the movie "The Jazz Singer", but it isn't the full, original version of the song that was released. You should listen to the entire song, it's a couple minutes longer. It has more lyrics, and he repeats the chorus again. "America" is another great song from "The Jazz Singer", and so is "Hello Again".
Love on the rocks! Ain’t no surprise. Just pour me a drink, and I’ll tell you some lies.......yesterday’s gone, and all I want is a smile😊 this song since I was 13❤️👍
Anything brother Neil Diamond does is great. Can you play his first big hit? Cherry Cherry.and Solitary Man. He’s got so many it would take all day. Thx
Neil & I are star-crossed lovers, he doesn't know I exist. When I was single he was married, when I got married, he was single. Did I mention he doesn't know I exist?
Thank you Jamel...for being open to all genres of music. I feel like a broken record when I comment and say once again...here's another amazing artist~ Neil Diamond that I grew up listening to since the late 60's. His voice and songs bring back child&teenhood fun memories. I'm so thankful to my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who exposed me to sooo many genres/styles of music, frm one extreme to the other. I was only 4 yrs old and would go through my family's vinyl albums, many of which I inherited. I cherish them. So kudos to you for being eclectic in music. ☺👍✌
Mr. Diamond is a wordsmith his songs tell amazing stories and you are drawn in. This song is so heartfelt and emotional. In the movie the "rock star" wanted it very upbeat, he objected and was tossed.

The whole Jazz Singer soundtrack is 🔥
Jazz Singer. Amazing movie and music.
Released 1980
Yeah, when I was a kid all my friends parents owned that album. That and a whole lot of Abba.
@@judykiproff114 Absolutely loved this movie...
I want to see it again.
BIG THUMBS UP... DIAMOND Is an American Icon...
This song is a Neil's movie
The Jazz Singer. Also the songs America and
Hello Again
Definitely America.
I've seen the movie more than once, love it. I bought the soundtrack and also love it lol
Yes to these two songs!
Yes, this song peaked at number-2 on the Billboard charts in 1980.💯
Love on the Rocks - Neil Diamond.🙂
You HAVE TO see his movie The Jazz Singer!!! Awesome movie, but the critics were so hard on him, he never did another movie again. Desi Arnez and Lawrence Olivier. Just a fantastic movie!
A truly great songwriter.
Music doesn't sound like this anymore, we need more male singers these days singing like this .
Neil was mesmerizing!❤❤❤
So true, no music like that anymore.
Classic N Diamond!!! The video is from the movie The Jazz Singer, another classic filled with great music!!!
Neil doesn't get the respect he deserves. The Jazz Singer has to be mentioned when talking about great soundtracks and is a solid remake.

You’re right. Neil has always been underrated. He’s a brilliant songwriter & amazing artist.
It's been a lovely trip down memory lane with Neil Diamond, such great songs.
You Don't Bring Me Flowers w/ Barbra Streisand is also a beautiful song!
yes it is
Omgosh yesssss oh yesssss!!! They are just so fire together, love them so much!!!!🥰💑 Also, I have to mention that absolute fire "Play Me" duet with Shirley Bassey will just....make u melt into a puddle of love..lol 🥰🥰🥰
Yes please. The actual live performance if possible.
Streisand’s voice is annoying af, her duets are fire though...
The live version Streisand voice is tops
Yes it is.

The Jazz Singer had 3 instant classic hits.
His vocals had reached a peak of sensitive warmth meets masculine grit and had become one of the finest Pop vocalists of the era and his generation.
I think the Jazz singer was released in 1980
Taken from the movie The Jazz Singer, which he starred in.
“in which..”
The Greatest song about a Dad!!! "The Leader of the Band"-Dan Fogelberg who left us in 2007.....Very meaningful song...you Will be touched....thankyou Jamel.....Paul
@@theplanetruth which he starred in which.
This was Neil Diamonds movie..The Jazz Singer. Sooo many great songs written about his life story!
His voice is one of the wonders of this world.
Hello again.....summer love....songs of life
Neil Diamond-"PLAY ME" Wonderfully BEAUTIFUL ROMANTIC SONG!!
One of, if not my favorite songs by the Jewish Elvis! And "I Am, I Said."
Please react to "I Am, I Said"!! It is so powerfully moving. "Play Me" a close 2nd.
Neil Diamond was one of my great favourites growing up. This was from a wonderful film, a remake, called 'The Jazz Singer'. The original was made by Al Jolson. Love from the UK
every day with Jamel is a good day....
Truth 😊
Amen
Who the hell is Jamel?
"Play Me" - "Be"- "Hello Again" are three more golden songs from the legend Neil Diamond! Pure poetry. Would love to see you react to those.
Can’t truly do Neil without hearing “Solitary Man”. Go for it!
📣💯❗
Solitary man and I am I said are my favorite Neil Diamond songs he has written and sung so many great ones
Yes, the song that started it all and my favorite.
@@marinamartinez6886 Brooklyn Roads, is right up there with his Best.
My absolute favorite Neil Diamond song. His voice is incredible!!
Neil Diamond is one of the finest song writers there is.
One of the best? Can’t think of anyone better!🔥❤️💎
My favorite Neil Diamond song❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is from the remake of the Jazz Singer. The original was the first talkie ever, and this was remade with Neil as the lead and Sir Lawrence Olivier as his father.
One of his song was used in a movie Welcome to America.A movie called Born in East LA.
@@marieboyd521 with Cheech Marin! I saw that movie in the theater! Haven't thought about it in more than a decade! 😂🤣
Jazz Singer is the name of the movie! Great Movie ...that raspy voice one of my favorite artist!
You need to listen to “The Rose” by Bette Midler and “The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand....two tear jerkers.....
Another tear jerker from Neil is "Morningside"
I listen to Van Morrison 90% Bette I shall be Released and Neil are my two ICONS
Both from movies. Both soundtracks are marvelous !
What a great performer and song writer.
Oh hell yes. One of the best from Neil. Also try his song America.
📣💯❗
Coming to America
Great taste in music ☮️💜
@ Michael Lynch I agree America is a great song
There's something about this song that rips my heart out. My Favourite Neil Diamond track.
You can feel the pain and anguish in his words, this song is personal.
One of the best story tellers out there. Absolutely amazing. My parents raised me on Neil Diamond.
Thanks for Neil Diamond- I love him...right behind Michael McDonald. Coming to America makes me cry & be happy at the same time! Love ya Jamel!
Holly Holy,Pretty Amazing Grace,Coming to America
This is from the 3rd remake of the Jazz Singer done with Neil's music for the most part. Coming to America is the rousing ending.
One of my favorites songs of all times too much beautifull ...and Neil...wow ❤
As a child, this song was ABSOLUTELY mesmerizing!
Indeed. I was in seventh grade when I first heard it.
I wish...I could have appreciated Neil Diamond much more when I was younger...yes....now your at the right vid!!!
If this song don’t smash your heart to a pulp....
I guess it did, my eyes are wet...
Forever in Blue Jeans,Red,Red wine,Beautiful Noise…sooo many more. Please react…Neil is amazing. From his movie Jazz Singer…you would love it!
Neil and Barbara Streisand- You don’t bring me flowers!
I agree with the request for The Way we Were by Barbra Streisand. Truly classic. No one sings with the emotion of Barbra Streisand!!!
There are two other hit songs from the Jazz Singer from 1980. They are "Hello Again" and "America".
You could keep busy with Neil; he has had hits over 6 decades. His voice reaches me in a way that no other singer’s does. You are right that he is an amazing story teller. ❤️
LOVE ON THE ROCKS!! THAT'S MY JAM!!! 🙌
THE DIAMOND 💎
I adore Neil Diamond 💎
So proud you’re doing him!!❤✌🏼
It is a movie, called the jazz singer
Coming to America by Neil Diamond.
The video was took from the movie "The Jazz Singer" , a star vehicle for him that is also a remake of the the movie of the same name.
This is my favorite Neil Diamond song, and that's saying something!!!
Hey yes guys! Don’t you remember his coming to America? Shown from the same film!!! Outstanding song! Well, like everything of his!!!!✌️
Neil at his best. ...... he had the voice he had the songs.......... and he had the ability to make you believe what he was singing about........the whole package back in the day....
Ah one of my favorites. Love it. September Morn is another beautiful song by Neil. Very smooth...
(They're Coming To) ANERICA, HELLO AGAIN, and LOVE ON THE ROCKS" are all from the
motion picture THE JAZZ SINGER
The audio only version is better to fully appreciate the power of his voice ❤️
It's a good movie re-make. When I got married we were at the bar and my maid of honor called out to the band lead "These two just got married, play them a song!" and this is what they played. Prophetic, actually; I divorced the guy, married him again a few years later (we had kids together) but sadly, love was on the rocks. I am SO GLAD to hear Neil Diamond, My first concert when I was 12, with my mom!
The Lady looking at him singing is Lucille and Desi Arnex daughter !.. Lucy is her name ..Sorry for the miss spelling!
Lucie Arnaz...
Hey, just wondering. Did Aaron Spelling's daughter Tori, refer to herself as "Miss Spelling" before she got married?

Snippet from The Jazz Singer. Good movie. Great soundtrack. You baby baby would be a good reaction 👍

Neil Diamond is a legend! When I was kid his songs were all over the radio and my Parent's record player!
“Song sung blue” is one of my favorites and I don’t think you’ve done that one yet
Got here searching Neil Diamond Love on the Rocks. Old school Diamond! ❤️ Thank you
Yes it is from “The Jazz Singer” from which Neil Diamond starred with Lucy Arnaz and Sir Laurence Oliver. Good movie but panned by the critics. Neil never did another movie. He wrote the music for the movie.
LOVE! the song in this movie at the end, 'America'!!!!!!
Solitary Man - Holly Holy - I've Been This Way Before - If You Know What I Mean. All are amazing songs that you will really enjoy reacting to.
Nice choices
This is from the Neil Diamond version of The Jazz Singer, which is a movie (and a soundtrack) that I grew up on.
Neil Diamond is a great artist! Please react to Sweet Caroline. I always look forward to your reactions!

Love this. Watch the movie the jazz singer Jamel. It's really good. Thank you. 🎶👍
There are two kinds of people in the world.
I’m a Neil Diamond fan.👍🏻
This isn’t the version that was released as a single. You should look for that on he soundtrack album of the movie.

Not a huge Neil Diamond fan. This song and his duet with Barbara Streisand You Don't Bring Me Flowers are my favorites.

But are you single now? Cuz I am. Hello, again, hello....

Bitch, step away from my man. Lol
Love Neil Diamond....this is one of his best!!
Too suggestions for Neil to get to at some point. “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show” and “Solitary Man” both from the album ‘Hot August Night’.
Great Movie Neil starred in. Jazz Singer. Soundtrack is class
Yes, this scene is from The Jazz Singer. The song a bit longer than that.
Yeah, this is a neutered version. The full song carriesa bit more weight.
I love this song and also "America"
Please react to"You Got To Me", "Solitary Man" and "Kentucky Woman"

I sure didnt like any of these Neil Diamond songs when I was young. Thanks for helping me to discover them too.
The chorus gives me goosebumps.
One of the great ones, a love story, yesterday gone now all I want is a smile. So sweet, poetry in motion for me.
Gotta react to Heartlight - especially for "ET" movie fans! Classic
This song always cuts me to the bone. Best Diamond song maybe one of the best songs in this genre, era.
Check out "Hot August Night" Live at Madison Square Garden !! Incredible concert !!!
Oh WOW! Have not heard this in such a long time! Please do Neil and Barbara Streisand "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"
Oh jamel this song is beautiful from his movie the jazz singer its a must see❤❤✌this one is gonna make me cry lol
