    CUANDO YA SOMOS VIEJOS DECIMOS... ESTOY CANTANDO COMO CUANDO YO TENÍA 30 AÑOS. MENTIRAS, LOS AÑOS NOS COMIERON Y COMO DICE EL DICHO "NO ES LO MISMO LOS 3 MOSQUETEROS QUE 20 AÑOS DESPUÉS" ESTE ÍCONO DE LA MÚSICA DE NUESTROS TIEMPOS ES UNO DE LOS MÁS GRANDES ROMÁNTICOS DE SIEMPRE. SEGUIREMOS CANTANDO SUS CANCIONES EN NUESTRO EQUIPO DE KARAOKE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

    Excellent de recevoir les vrais et grands chanteurs compositeurs qui ont marqué et marquent le monde. Neil en est un.
    Grand plaisir de le voir.
    Pas comme en France ou on ne nous emmerde qu'avec des médiocres jeunes ou des émissions vulgaires du genre Hanouna,
    Merci, de plus sur votre plateau il y a plusieurs races. Pas comme en France où les noirs ne sont visibles qu'en foot et athlétisme.

    • @happysad2
      @happysad2 3 роки тому

      The lyrics are about his then-girlfriend/wife...he couldn't get her name to fit the metre, then he saw a picture of Caroline Kennedy, and the song became sweet CAROLINE..that's the story (more or less) that I heard...

    Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (117 Volt America-Europe 220 Volt) I'm approached by Lou van Rees Management for a solution to my Hammond Rent.After four days I got my B3 Hammond returned with Fire spots of Cigarettes.It frustrated me.They have me removed me from the Neil Diamond Fan Club because I had this listed on their site.Never Excuse of Neil Diamond

      He got inspired by the name and realised that it would fit with the lyrics, it was not written about her. J.K Rowling came up with the initial idea for Harry Potter when on a train delay, does that mean the story is about a train delay? No, the circumstances triggered inspiration.

    How old was Caroline Kennedy when he wrote this song about her?? He was messing with her when she was ILLEGAL! But these shills just praise him and what he has done. SICK!

    • @l.t.6180
      @l.t.6180 Рік тому

      Messing with her? What a stupid comment to make. He needed a three-syllable name for a song he was writing and was inspired by a picture he came across in a magazine. That's how artists get their inspiration. But for you, that's messing with a young girl 🙄 By the way, Caroline Kennedy and Neil Diamond are good friends. If she doesn't bother, why would you? Moreover, Neil Diamond has never been involved in any scandal throughout his career. Go burn some books 🔥

    • @sirjoshua3415

      It blows my mind how utterly stupid people are today. He didn't know Caroline Kennedy personally. She was on the cover of a magazine he saw when he was writing material in Memphis in 1969. He simply saw the name and lifted it because the three syllables fit with the melody. That's how songwriting and inspiration works, not that someone who's only contribution to the world is writing dumb and overreaching UA-cam comments would understand any sort of creative process.
