Such memories. I waited on him at a 5 star hotel for a few days out at the pool in Az around 1995. He asked if I was going to see the show that night. I mentioned saying I’d love to, but sadly I didn’t have tickets. He pulled 2 front row tickets from his wallet and gave me a hug. I was thrilled! It was a rotating stage and as it turned during one of the songs, he pointed at me smiling and dedicated the song to me. I’ll never forget it.
He wrote this say in his trailer. All alone, the Weiss just came. He was struggling obviously with his identity, as he did most of his life. His songs reflect this. Heartfelt. As most of us go through this path and journey and very one can relate no matter the status of each individual or age ❤❤❤

I remember the summer of 1977 I'm in the 7th grade living in Salinas CA listening to the radio on kdon 102 1/2 and the first album I ever owned was love at the Greek theater, I was the 9th caller and won . True story.
Love this man , when going to Florida , it was the April after 9/11 , and I was petrified of flying there , but also excited , so I started singing to my 8 year old little girl , we’re coming to America very low , my hubby started to laugh , someone heard me and joined in then the whole plain joined in , it was amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
You took the words out of my mouth. I have the exact story as you. Dad loved Neil and thankful he introduced me to him. When I want to feel closer to my Dad I put on Neil Diamond.
Neil has Parkinsons, diagnosed in 2018. He had to cancel his tour dates. A legend tragically intercepted. We will "Remember You" N.D., seeing your Broadway musical, A Beautiful Noise, andlistening to your classics & newer music you are writing. Source, Anthony Mason Interview, March, 2023. We love you Neil Diamond !
Well, it is not letting me edit...the Anthony Mason interview was on CBS Sunday Morning (USA-you can play back episodes, or Google the interview), around the end of March 2023, where Neil shared from the heart. It is very sad. He was so humble about his plight. I was hoping he could go on with touring in retrospect, wondering before, if he even had plans to...and he sure did. Also, that he could go into his 90's like Burt Bacharach. So many of our music, movie & Broadway legends are crossing over; we all know if they are blessed with long life & continued success, the time will come...but being famous doesn't make us immune from the struggles we all have in life, but in N.D.'s case, I sure wish it did.
@@aileenfalcone7898 he wrote the song a beautiful noise for his daughter. Something she said when they were in a hotel room, and there was a parade going on in the streets. He wrote that song in one night.
The man just sings from his soul and heart..to say he is an icon is really an understatement..thank you to my dad who introduceded me not only to neil but to Real music
An exquisite voice, beautiful lyrics, peppered with soul. I still get chills thinking about the time Neil and Barbara sang together on stage, singing You don’t Bring Me Flowers.
Gorgeous Man, extremely individual, beautiful voice and undoubtedly the best singer, songwriter,musician of the century. Incredibly deep lyrics and music. Very passionate. Thanks Dad for having his music when I was a small child.
Same goes here .... my father listened specially many times Hot August Night and he could never believe that I liked Neil Diamond also ..... I still do .....
I was about fifteen in this period and was being so carried away with the hard rock bands of the day that Neil Diamond seemed kind of less hip and less cool at the time, but boy do I appreciate him now. It's like I'm re-discovering a gem that I sort missed out on when he was in his prime.
Mom introduced me to his music when I was 10. His rich voice, his melancholy, and his smolder wasn't lost on me at all. He's everywhere I am, even now.
Neil was always my mom’s favorite so I always loved his music as a child. And when I met my future wife Neil was her favorite too so I loved his music even more.
@Officialneildiamond1428 since I was a little girl..love all the songs..but I Am.. I Said ...is my all time favourite...thankyou for giving me and everyone around the world your beautiful music...❤️
My favourite Neil Diamond song. When I was a young man I lived thousands of miles from home for 10 years. This track on his greatest hits album got the most plays. I eventually made it back when I retired 3 years ago.
One of the most beautiful songs by one of the best singers of all time. Although he clearly struggled with lyric writing, he could make any song a masterpiece by the emotion and technical mastery he imbued into his singing. He is also one of the few true baritones to make it big after the 60s. There's a moving backstory behind this particular song about his struggle with his sense of identity and emotional health that helps to clarify the somewhat disfluent refrain.
It’s from Jonathan Livingston Seagull…so yes, it is about the struggle for a sense of identity. Jonathan was a seagull who struggled against the stereotype of seagulls
Songs are written with meaning and it’s up to the listener to interpret. It’s how it makes us feel. When I listen to this song I feel the loneliness of a man on the road between the two coasts. To me it’s totally about loneliness and not self identity. But others may interpret it differently.
Taproot Manuscript is still one of my favorites…Still listening to Neil in 2024! Saw him at MSG few years back. What an Entertainer and incredible musician!!!
Some of the first music I learned to feel and love. Good memories of the kitchen table scooted to the wall and mom and dad dancing close and smiling. My dad twirling me and teaching me the steps by standing on his feet. 🥹
Class act,I've send a few in my sixty eight years and Neil, even in 2024 is certainly still one of them,good health and thanks for the memories..........
One regret never saw him in person. No I’m a senior citizen, 70 year old in Roanoke, Virginia and he was here many times before I moved here. What a great man what a great voice, but the one thing that stands out to me about Neil Diamond is how much he loves the great country of the United States of America, God has blessed him, and he is blessed us to have him
Neil younger does not look his voice, his voice ALWAYS soulful, mature and smooooth! Just sounds like it always had to have come from someone waaaay older! Love his music!
non, je suis française, j'ai bientôt 68 ans et je l'écoute toujours, et je ne m'en lasse pas, j'en rêve depuis mes 16 ans, c'est mon idole, number one !
Oh my, I had forgotten this song, how could I have? So many memories come flowing back. He was then and still is the greatest, and all his songs were great!! He still looks good today and his voice is still strong.

One of the Best Vocalist’s the World has had in a Century.
I agree
Me too!
Imagine getting Niel, Blaze Foley, John Prine to sing Clay Pigeons together.
Vocalist? No, not really. Song writer YES. His music has always been stunning.
Too bad all he is doing is lip syncing on this video.

Neil Diamond is up there with the all time greats.
Ummmmmm..... Yeah, because he's an ALL time great........
The Jewish Elvis. What a fantastic writer and songwriter.
One of the best songs ever written & I just love Neil Diamond so much! ❤️
He wrote this say in his trailer. All alone, the Weiss just came. He was struggling obviously with his identity, as he did most of his life. His songs reflect this. Heartfelt. As most of us go through this path and journey and very one can relate no matter the status of each individual or age ❤❤❤
Hah! So self-absorbed and corny I still want to puke.
Didn’t he love little girls a little too much? In all the wrong ways?

@lyndafayesmusic What ???
An iconic song sung by a classic troubadour. Doesn't get better.
Nope....Timeless...What a great time for music 60's and 70's
My Mom loved him! Saturday morning cleaning, she cranked the volume to Neil! I miss her and listen to Neil to get the good feels.

I never realized he was so handsome. I never saw that old of picture of him before
Me to I've just seen older shots
An exquisite voice, beautiful lyrics, peppered with soul. I still get chills thinking about the time Neil and Barbara sang together on stage, singing You don’t Bring Me Flowers.
