5 Songs You Didn't Know Were Written By Neil Diamond

Did you know these 5 songs were written by Neil Diamond?
In a career spanning 60 years, Neil Diamond has sold more than 130 million records, has had 16 Top 10 albums, 38 Top 40 singles, won 10 Grammy awards, and received inductions in the Songwriters and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fames, among other numerous awards, honors, and accolades.
Drawn to songwriting when he was just a teen, Diamond began writing songs while studying at New York University and by 1962 found himself signed to Columbia. After a brief stint releasing several singles under the label, Diamond continued writing for other artists at several publishing houses, often penning songs for himself that were released by other artists before he could even record them, like The Monkees’ 1966 No. 1 hit “I’m a Believer”-along with three other songs for the pop group-and Top 10 hit “Sunday and Me” recorded and released by Jay and the Americans a year earlier.

Soon after, more artists followed suit with Elvis Presley reinterpreting Diamond’s ballad “And the Grass Won’t Pay No Mind” in 1969, along with covering “Sweet Caroline” a year later-a song Frank Sinatra would also reimagine, big band style, in 1974. In 2000, Johnny Cash even covered Diamond’s 1966 hit “Solitary Man” for his third American Recordings album and earned a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his lonesome cover.

I really dislike American Songwriter's crinkly crackly sound at each number.
