This is a masterpiece. The vocals, lyrics, orchestration, layers of instruments building up. You'll never hear music like this again. Imagine hearing this for the first time on your local top 40 AM radio station. I was 12 years old in 1969 when this came out and was blown away by it even at that young age. I still love it to this day.
One of Neil's most powerful songs and always a favourite in his live concerts. You're right about his voice: It's one of the best pop/rock voices ever and very underrated in my opinion. Overal, he's one of the greatest musicians in modern music, as a writer, a singer and a live performer. No wonder millions of fans flocked to his concerts and he set attendance records wherever he performed in the world.
Neil Diamond is the best! Diamonds are forever!

Thanks so much! Neil is one of our greatest indeed. Glad to have reacted to this amazing song 🙂🙏.
My kind of religious music!
If you like Neil Diamond that much, try his Longfellow Serenade. ^_^
Thanks Sally. I’ll line that up in our next round. 🙏🙂🎵
Another inspirational song is Soolaimon (sic)
Thank you! I’ll line up that song in our next Neil round. 🙏🙂🎵
