He’s referred to as the Jewish Elvis. There’s a reason he’s in both the Songwriters and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. An amazing songwriter and performer.
@ M B Fun fact Neil Diamond attended an Elvis concert in the early 70s in Vegas. During the show elvis recognized Neil in the audiance and had him stand up saying that Neil was a great performer and singer. There was a short mo.ent when everyone thought Elvis was going to invite Neil ip on stage to do a song together.
He is a great man, very kind and humble. I've seen him in concert 5 or 6 times, great stage personality! He told a story of a young man that knocked on his hotel room door and asked him if he could play a song for him on the guitar, Neil said yes and the man did. Long story short, this song turned into "Forever in Bluejeans". I'm glad he opened the door, huge hit. One of my favorites by Neil.
The "Humbleness" he exudes on stage is NOT an act. I met him while waiting for a flight at Chicago O'hare Airport in 1973 and he is actually that humble and nice. He performs not for fame & riches, but for the pure love of music and sharing it with others.
i know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Easton Dominik I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I grew up with Neil Diamond. He is probably the greatest Singer/Song writer of all time. It is almost impossible to find a bad song by him. One of my favorites that really touches my heart is "Morning Side". He literally has hundreds of hits and hundreds of other artists have performed his songs.➕❤
Steve Maxwell I agree with you. Neil Diamond is a star and he has had a most wonderful career but a lot of folks have no idea how much material he has written and others have sung it ie. Red Red Wine. I also Love Morining Side and Soolaimon.
I grew up listening to him as well, the first song I heard was on an old 45 I found, Cracklin Rosie, and knew I wanted to hear more. Neil has So So many great hits, sweet Caroline, cherry cherry, America, soolaimon forever in blue jeans and red red wine. But you want to listen to morning side and I am I said if you want humbling personal songs
Only under appreciated by the critics who called his music bombastic but he's always had his fans. I also like that the Boston Red Socks took to playing Sweet Caroline during the 7th inning stretch. Best sing a long song ever.
I saw Neil Diamond twice in concert and in 1978 at Hampton Roads inVa. He sang 28 songs and 3 Encore songs and saw him again I think in 1984 at the Dean Smith center in Chapel Hill NC . Let me say this Neil sings to everyone in the building , he will ha e them turn lights out and just have upper deck lights up and sing to everyone who didn’t have the best seats and appreciate every single person in the crowd , he always sold out and my God the guy has the best voice and just a total professional a absolute American treasure so sad for him that he is going through this illness , Parkinson’s , Gods healing hands on you Neil I pray 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I can close my eyes and see him on stage with that power house voice , Thank You Neil Diamond for all you did to entertain us with your awesome music sir !!!!!!!!!
I had the privilege of seeing Neil Diamond around the year 2000, which was a true gift to my life. He is a gentleman, exuding decency and kindness on stage - along with his wonderful music. He’s a class act all the way.
They fact that Neil Diamond wrote his songs, flawlessly performed his songs, and without trying to "BE" from his Jonathan Livingstone Seagull is absolutely exquisite.
Neil is one of my all time favs. THIS is one of his best poignant songs. Glad you did the live version which is an excellent example of how great he was (Parkinson's has retired him). Such a beautiful, humble man. Never a scandal. Another deep, moving song by him is 'I Am I Said'. Of course there's always the popular tunes like Sweet Caroline (inspired by Caroline Kennedy), Cracklin' Rosie, Forever in Blue Jeans, America, ...it's a rabbit hole. Holly Holy another great, and Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show. Live versions are almost always best. Anything off Hot August Night (album) is fantastic.
Neil is a beautiful man ! His music will live on for many decades . Pour yourself a glass of wine , relax , and listen to Johnathan Livingston Seagull ... love the photography in the video as well ! I'm 78 today , think I'll open up a bottle of crackling rose !
Neil was my favourite singer since I was 10 years old and although I love many other artists, Neil is still my top singer to this day I'm in my mid fifties....he's my "go to" music man. I love him so much...beautiful and spiritual voice. Love him. And he's so humble too.
You are right in your opinion about Neil. He IS humble and one of the truly nicest and most generous men on this planet. Loved your reaction. I wish you would react to Hell Yeah that he did live in NYC and also Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show. Oh, and Love on the Rocks and Play Me and on and on and on. lol. Subscribed! What a great channel you have here.
You can listen to Neil Diamond for 40 years, know almost every word of every song, and STILL love his voice! I’ve never grown weary of him. Keep listening to different songs of his. All of them are good! Seriously! He’s SUPER fun to sing along with in the car too! 🥰
Good choice. I'm glad you found him. I'm glad I found you. I'd never seen that nor seen him so young. Hot August Night is outstanding. No bad songs on it.
The Jazz Singer himself. As a child, I had no idea who I was introduced to. I heard stories first, then the music. Unique songwriting gift, voice, etc.
He does the song “Sweet Caroline” for one. But there are a bunch of others. “I am, I said” is a great one. “Girl, You’ll be a woman soon” which was used years later in the Quentin Tarantino film “Pulp Fiction” in a particularly memorable scene. And those are just the tip of the iceberg with Neil Diamond.
"FAIRLY large"? He has one of the largest discographies in history. He's been at it for over 50 years and yes... I am a huge fan in case you didn't catch it. This is just trying to have some fun with it. Please, it's not meant to upset you
@@TonyM1961 No worries! :) Neil's records played a lot of mornings at my house when I was a kid, as the family set about getting ready for work / school.
One of the best live entertainers EVER... I’ve had the privilege of seeing him in concert several times. Never disappointing! He’s no longer touring due to illness.. SO MANY hits he’s written and sung..
This song was inspired by the minor key of The Beatles "Michelle" which he loved. This song convinced him he had always been a quiet introverted kid. After a concert one of his fellow 6th grade graduates showed him the 6th grade yearbook. He was shocked to be reminded that he had been voted "most cheerful".
Neil Diamond is one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever...As a solo artist he has over one hundred hits which is amazing in itself. Many recording artist have covered his songs taking them to number one on the billboard charts. And many recording artist were unknown until they covered one of his songs making them famous. Since he first appeared on the scene back in 1965 singing "Cherry Cherry, Solitary Man and I Am I Said." Neil Diamond has produced hits year after year with new generations of audiences loving his music. Great reaction to one of the finest men in the music industry...
One of my favorite artist and songs. Just wanted u to know I love watching your reactions. You seem like a genuinely nice, personable person. You make the reactions so fun and enjoyable. God bless, Lynn
I LOVE Neil Diamond! I have three favorites....Elvis is always number ONE, and Neil Diamond and Elton John are innthe number 2 spot. You should react to to Neil's song titled "America". That's the song he used as his show stopper for the 1st song of his encore. He is now retired. He is nearly 80 years old and sadly, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Neil Diamond!!! That statement is the biggest understatement of my life! He is my favorite artist of all time! I had all of his albums even into the 90's (sadly, I don't have any of my albums anymore after downsizing several times). Played them all the time. In 1980, when The Jazz Singer came out, I saw it 27 times in the theater! (Remember, there was no such thing as a DVD or streaming services then.) I bought the VHS tape of the movie as soon as it came out. I saw him in concert 3 times and actually shook his hand once! I was weak in the knees with that! I just found The Jazz Singer on Prime Video about 2 weeks ago and watched it a couple of times. I highly recommend it. It'a a rough remake of the original version of it with Al Jolson which was the very first "talkie" ever made, from 1927. The original and Neil Diamond's versions are on UA-cam and the 1952 version with Danny Thomas is on Hulu. Neol"s is also on Prime Video. The critics didn't like it but people loved Neil's movie! So, don't listen to the critics. Anyhoo . . . big rabbit hole with Neil Diamond! He's got dozens of really great songs -- ballads to more hard rock. He can sing anything! Please do some more Neil! And good job on the reaction. (If I had to pick, I think my favorites are I Am. I Said and Anerica! But picking favorites is really hard!)
One of the best performers in music. Amazing voice that is instantly recognizable. Talented song writer...he really is the whole package. You are right...no auto tune, not studio magic...100% talent.
Ya know what I love about your reactions? You actual LISTEN to the song. Words, verse, and instruments. All of it. No feeling like you have to stop the song to entertain us. You know what we want. The song. Then your opinion. Well done.
About 25 years ago we saw him in concert,in the round. It was sooo good. I think he played every song,plus a few. Perfect. And perfect seats. A real privilege.
One of the great singer/songwriters. Unique voice, which is instantly recognizable. His music is very good; his lyrics are so relatable. One of the all time greats.
Play Suzanne, Cold Water Morning, Morningside, Stargazer, Dry your eyes...many, many more hits. The man's a genius. He writes his music too. He wrote, "I'm a Believer,"which is sung by other artists.
He may have had some songs before this one, but Solitary Man is the first Neil Diamond hit that I remember hearing on the radio (and buying the 45) as a kid. Many more followed.
Jim Frederick until we have two days like the last two over and over again. America is all I know and much I love. But, after 62 years experiencing the joys of life and the systematic racism as a mature Black American woman, I think about how great it could be. Films, literature, sports, but mostly music has always been my safe place, my mood changer that defines the moments of my life. Peace
No question one of the greatest singers in music history. Fortunate to have heard all his tunes on the radio back then. You got to Me, Holly Holy, Red Red Wine and Cherry Cherry are my favorites. Had many more hits tho. You have good musical taste
Interesting note on Neil, he was one semester away from graduating medical school. And he quit. His parents damn near killed him. He started singing and writing songs for others. The he made it big.
Did not need auto tune. Own every album of his on vinyl that came out on vinyl. Also, the others that came out on CD. Plus concert on VHS and DVD. Been to 4 of his concerts since the eighties. He is true talent.
I am SO glad you have discovered Neil!!! I’ve been a fan since August 1977!!! Brilliant songwriter/singer!! He’s in the RRHOF and Songwriters Hall of Fame. Check out I Am...I Said, Crackin’ Rosie❤️❤️
![💎NEIL DIAMOND: BARBARA WALTERS INTERVIEW [1985]](/img/n.gif)
Please play alot more of his songs. He writes all his own songs and he is so very famous. He's a huge world wide super talent!!!!!
He’s referred to as the Jewish Elvis. There’s a reason he’s in both the Songwriters and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. An amazing songwriter and performer.
He was an extremely talented songwriter. He was writing songs for musicians before he even started performing.
Elvis was also Jewish on his mothers side.
@@marymarchmcclelland5203 True.
@ M B
Fun fact
Neil Diamond attended an Elvis concert in the early 70s in Vegas. During the show elvis recognized Neil in the audiance and had him stand up saying that Neil was a great performer and singer. There was a short mo.ent when everyone thought Elvis was going to invite Neil ip on stage to do a song together.
Hes not referred to as the Jewish Elvis... you made that up
He is a great man, very kind and humble. I've seen him in concert 5 or 6 times, great stage personality!

Long story short, this song turned into "Forever in Bluejeans". I'm glad he opened the door, huge hit.
One of my favorites by Neil.
Neil has a reputation for turning it up a notch in live performance, creating an emotional space for the audience to share.
Back then there was no reason to have auto tune - everyone had TALENT!
Not everyone! If they didn't, they just sounded bad. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@noracola5285 If they sounded bad they didn't last!
@@noracola5285 My mom used to have a crush on someone named Fabian...She thought he was good-lucking but was a terrible singer.
If you couldn't sing it live, you couldn't sing it.
Or as someone said, "Back then. If you couldn't sing, you didn't".
I’ve loved Neil Diamond since the Seventies. It’s so good to see the younger generation appreciating his artistry.
Very introvert,shy guy. He said he becomes a different person onstage! Love him so much!🔥❤️💎
The "Humbleness" he exudes on stage is NOT an act. I met him while waiting for a flight at Chicago O'hare Airport in 1973 and he is actually that humble and nice. He performs not for fame & riches, but for the pure love of music and sharing it with others.

Neil is one of the most loved performers in the world for a reason.
You picked one of the best performances by Neil in his prime. What a powerful voice.
I grew up with Neil Diamond. He is probably the greatest Singer/Song writer of all time. It is almost impossible to find a bad song by him. One of my favorites that really touches my heart is "Morning Side". He literally has hundreds of hits and hundreds of other artists have performed his songs.➕❤

Paul Simon - but yes, I love Neil Diamond too.
Steve Maxwell I agree with you. Neil Diamond is a star and he has had a most wonderful career but a lot of folks have no idea how much material he has written and others have sung it ie. Red Red Wine. I also Love Morining Side and Soolaimon.
Same . I took my mom to his concert for Christmas 🎄❤️😊

Neil has So So many great hits, sweet Caroline, cherry cherry, America, soolaimon forever in blue jeans and red red wine. But you want to listen to morning side and I am I said if you want humbling personal songs
Would love for you to react to Neil Diamond’s love song…The Story of My Life. Will make you cry! Just beautiful…what everywoman wants to hear!🔥❤️💎
One of the most underappreciated artists ever
Only under appreciated by the critics who called his music bombastic but he's always had his fans. I also like that the Boston Red Socks took to playing Sweet Caroline during the 7th inning stretch. Best sing a long song ever.
Not by me amd many others, i'm sure. Way back in the late 60s and in Vietnam, his songs were extremly popular.
Oh I wouldn't say that Neil diamond is very appreciated ?
I love Neil Diamond so much. He's one of those performers who just oozes talent and a sort of inexplicable sex appeal.
I saw Neil Diamond twice in concert and in 1978 at Hampton Roads inVa. He sang 28 songs and 3 Encore songs and saw him again I think in 1984 at the Dean Smith center in Chapel Hill NC .

He just did his last concert...a 50 year career! He could fill a 25,0000 seat arena in 5 minutes!♥️♥️♥️
Wow, his voice, is so pure. No auto- tune, just fabulous vocals, to great music. One of the best artist ever.
I’d forgotten just how good Neil Diamond is. Haven’t heard him in years.
They fact that Neil Diamond wrote his songs, flawlessly performed his songs, and without trying to "BE" from his Jonathan Livingstone Seagull is absolutely exquisite.
Love Neil Diamond! Love, love, Neil Diamond ❤️
One of the highest selling artists of all time.
Loved his deep voice, it's the kind of voice that hits you from the waist down. 😅😉🤣
And his looks helped with the waist down stuff!!

Neil Diamond's music is iconic.
I see it in your eyes He slays with his eyes
he was so so handsome and he has aged finer than the finest wine - i adore him, his music marks my life
He is sooo handsome !! and a voice to match...
I absolutely adore and idolize Neil Diamond
Check out “I am, I said” by Neil diamond
Yes! What a song!
Also check out " I Am ... I Said" "Play Me" "Hello Again" "Love on the Rocks"
Neil,s music is pure magic.probably the most gifted singer and song writer ever,a genius.
He's always been SO fabulous! ❤️🌺❤️
You could do as much of Neil Diamond as you like can't ever have to much, he makes you feel good
Good choice. I'm glad you found him. I'm glad I found you. I'd never seen that nor seen him so young. Hot August Night is outstanding. No bad songs on it.

Urge Overkill was the band who performed "Girl, You'll be a woman soon" in Pulp Fiction. In case anyone wants to look it up =)
Lavrentivs yeah I get it - but it’s still a Neil Diamond song and the original is great.
I like "Forever in Blue Jeans."
My dad somehow got away with naming me and my sister after 2 of his songs, pure luck that my best friend since I was born shares a name with another
Neil's great. He has a unique voice and style. A fairly large catalog too.

A once in a lifetime artist. Amazing songwriter, vocals....Neil Diamond one of the best.
A singer/songwriter of the first caliber. A deep well of music from this man. You have only scratched the surface.
This is one of my favourite songs by him.
Artists back them were not manufactured, you actually had to have talent. Neil Diamond was always very talented.
Neil Diamond...one of the best...he did his own songs his way no matter what sound was popular at the time. Lots of good songs...thanks for playing
This young woman is great! Love that she enjoyed and appreciated this treasure from decades ago!
Neil Diamond has soooooo many great songs. Pick one and you will love it.
Neils voice and words was my guiding through a troubled youth, adore him.
No question about it. Neil Diamond was damn good. One more great talent in that age that was somehow stacked like cordwood with talent.
One of the best live entertainers EVER... I’ve had the privilege of seeing him in concert several times. Never disappointing! He’s no longer touring due to illness.. SO MANY hits he’s written and sung..
One of my favorite voices.
Simply put, Neil Diamond is the best ever. Nuff said
Great voice, great songwriter, decades of great music to dive into.
This song was inspired by the minor key of The Beatles "Michelle" which he loved. This song convinced him he had always been a quiet introverted kid.
After a concert one of his fellow 6th grade graduates showed him the 6th grade yearbook. He was shocked to be reminded that he had been voted "most cheerful".

Now here is someone who knows how to do a reaction video. She just listens and comments after. Perfect.
He was one of the great singer/songwriters of my younger days.
SOLITARY MAN and KENTUCKY WOMAN were the two songs that made me listen for a while, but those two remain clearly favorites.
I LOVE Neil Diamond! I have three favorites....Elvis is always number ONE, and Neil Diamond and Elton John are innthe number 2 spot. You should react to to Neil's song titled "America".

One of the best performers in music. Amazing voice that is instantly recognizable. Talented song writer...he really is the whole package. You are right...no auto tune, not studio magic...100% talent.
I Am I Said is a must listen. Would love to see a reaction to it, but if not you still need to hear it.

"Holly Holy" I remember my mom would crank it up when that song of his came on the radio.
About 25 years ago we saw him in concert,in the round. It was sooo good. I think he played every song,plus a few. Perfect. And perfect seats. A real privilege.
He’s got a lot of great songs if you want to hear more. He had some big radio hits back in the day -and you might recognize some.
One of the great singer/songwriters. Unique voice, which is instantly recognizable. His music is very good; his lyrics are so relatable. One of the all time greats.
I’ve been fortunate to see Neil in concert 3 times ❤️
A powerful song everyone can relate to and which is a beautiful song is "I Am... I Said." Incredible songs!!! Also "Play Me" and "Hello Again."
Neil is totally one of my favs
Play Suzanne, Cold Water Morning, Morningside, Stargazer, Dry your eyes...many, many more hits. The man's a genius. He writes his music too. He wrote, "I'm a Believer,"which is sung by other artists.
His album Moods is perfection from start to finish.
I just love that man !
He may have had some songs before this one, but Solitary Man is the first Neil Diamond hit that I remember hearing on the radio (and buying the 45) as a kid. Many more followed.
He sounds just as good today as he did back then! He always sounds great live! So many great songs to choose from!
Fantastic, give's me goosebumps.
Neil Diamond grew up in my neighborhood back in Brooklyn NY. He’s a legend. Made great music. Has many hits. Try Cherry Cherry. Big hit. Thx Jay
Nice reaction. This is a song from my young childhood and I remember every song.
A real and very good Artist in composing singing and entertaining
Timeles
Holly Holy from the same live event is INCREDIBLE!
Love this song and Neil
The studio version is slightly faster, but I have been undecided as to which is better for years. It's a mark of how great a song this is.
You should check out his movie The Jazz Singer. Neil was the man!
"America" is amazing
Jim Frederick until we have two days like the last two over and over again. America is all I know and much I love. But, after 62 years experiencing the joys of life and the systematic racism as a mature Black American woman,
I think about how great it could be. Films, literature, sports, but mostly music has always been my safe place, my mood changer that defines the moments of my life. Peace
I am watching The Jazz Singer right now...magical movie
My mom rented it when I was five and am now 46, I fell in love with him and his music that day.
Everything thing is awesome and raw. You're in for a treat
No question one of the greatest singers in music history. Fortunate to have heard all his tunes on the radio back then. You got to Me, Holly Holy, Red Red Wine and Cherry Cherry are my favorites. Had many more hits tho. You have good musical taste
I am positive some of us are here on earth because of Neil Diamond. He made girls feel funny. Set the moment. Guys appreciate him.
I saw him live about five years after this performance. One of the best concerts I ever saw.
Great talent !!!
Amazing singer
Interesting note on Neil, he was one semester away from graduating medical school. And he quit. His parents damn near killed him. He started singing and writing songs for others. The he made it big.
