Here is Neil Diamond performing live at the BBC in 1971, not long after he reached the top of the charts with songs such as Sweet Caroline, Cracklin’ Rosie, and Song Sung Blue.
Some interesting things you may or may not know about Mr. Diamond. It’s his real name. He’s from Brooklyn. Sweet Caroline is about Caroline Kennedy. He once opened for the Who. Rick Rubin produced a 2005 album. He just signed (2014) a new deal with Capitol Music Group.
I never bought any Neil Diamond albums, but never objected when he turned up on the radio.
This show is relatively short, clocking in at about 38 minutes.
One of the best performers
One of the best performers ever! I love his music (even now when it can be a little cheesy) I’ve seen him in concert many, many times – one of the best shows I’ve ever seen was his “Hot August Night” tour.He puts on an awesome, exciting show.
