- Neil Diamond was one of the late great Muhammad Ali's favorite singers,and here Muhammad makes a song request during Neil's live 2001 television special to do "Coming To America"
When I first heard this song in the movie The Jazz Singer, I was hooked. Great song. And I love Neil Diamond. His beautiful songs are timeless.
Absolutely fantastic 😊👍
Such a wonderful entertainer. God bless, Neil Diamond. Thank you, for bring us a tremendous amount of wonderful music.
Returning stateside in 1984 after three years in Europe serving in the military our little family stood barefoot in the surf of the New Jersey coastline listening to an an after dark performance of this beautiful song. Neil Diamond sang from from the boardwalk as families gathered across the beach watching the July 4th fireworks as they were launched from a ship out in the water. We had only been home for less than a week. I’ll never forget the love I felt that evening for this great land.
Such a moving story! Bless yoy!
I'm Irish, but this song gives me goosebumps, my favourite
Muhammad Ali, probably the most recognizable person in the world... PROBABLY?
Neil Diamond was, is, and always will be America's greatest song writer and performer. It has been such a privilege to watch and listen to him for so many years. His voice, his songs, are incomparable - simply the best. I thank him for giving us such treasures in his songs.
Great singer even greater song writer and wonderful human being.
Out of South Africa...In 1972 during Army days...your songs lifted us up. What a legend you are. Salute!!!
A request from a sporting legend to a music legend. Mutual admiration and respect.
Just look at the eyes of the public... It's almost as if they are under an hypnotic spell.
Well those eyes ar its like you ar in a nother world my nan all way sed neaver pass remarks a bout eyes,
Iam Brazilian...I don't speak English...I am not see Neil. I listen your voice..and I love your Voice and yours songs...Now I see Neil Diamond...He is more beautiful ...
I love Neil and his voice and his songs
When one great personality takes on the request of another great personality, the stage is lit up like this one. Both are wonderful people. Just loved it. 👍
Has there ever been a more classy performer? I don’t think so. Seems so humble.
Neil Diamond: Truly an American musical treasure.
I love Neil's music and it was great when they played this song at my U.S. Citizenship ceremony. This song was there on one of the most important days of my life. Thank you Neil for this song.
Welcome home!
In my opinion this song would be a suitable American Anthem!
Neil holds the hearts of so many. He will be held in my heart forever. Love this man, always have always will..
This was the first song I ever heard by Neil!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Electric!!!!! The only singer I'd walk a thousand miles to see in person~~~~
Thank you Mr. Neil Diamond, for the many great songs,
I love this man. No one else like you Neil.....you were the first live concert I ever went to, back in the 60's. Went to 6 more since then. You will always be my favourite. Your live performances will be missed.
Mohammed Ali and Neil Diamond thats top of the line....
it's terrific when people applaud other people - i.e. shine the light
on others.

For me the one and only songwriter and singer❤
Love ALL his music. Met him twice, never forget. Love you, Neil😘
Oh my God, how ironic that the Greatest of All Time requested this song since he also had Parkinson's Disease. This is also my wife's favorite song since she immigrated to America in 1969 from the Azores as a six year old girl. God Bless You Neil
Richard what a song your wife has good taste best wishes from UK Tim x
I have loved Neil Diamond since I was 14 years old or for 53 years. We were dirt poor but I saved my money up from babysitting and bought his records. I was blessed later in life to see him a couple times live. Ali was right; he IS a treasure! Loved him then and love him now!!
I love your game and I was raised listening to him his music and words are legendary always will be!!
I'm Indonesian, love Neil Diamond and Muhammad Ali. Just watched Neil sung 'Wash Your Hand' yesterday, during Corona lockdown, what a lovely performance.
God Bless Indonesia!!
Neil Diamond is a gift from the Gods... Or God.
Desde España mis gastos y sus canciones es lo mejor que he tenido . Bravo y hole....
🥀WOW🥀What an honor for him to have a request from someone that's known by the whole world!🥀
but still he is so modest !
I also spent an afternoon with Muhumad Ali and Howard Bingham 20 years ago in 1996 in LA, Ca
Love this guy.. great songs
saw him in hartford ct in the early 80's, still remember I got goosebumps when he sang this....
Follow your dreams.
Thank you, Champ - rest well.....

What a great Moment In Time.
The fact Angelo Dundee lived above his parents store in Brighton Beach wouldn't hurt.
Neil Diamond and U2. Whenever they had a show it seems to have been sold out in seconds. I would love to see either one of them. I think I might be too late for Neil. I wish him all the best.

안녕하세요?
닐다이아몬드씨
저는 한국여성으로 1960년대부터 열열한 팬이었고 45년이 지난 지금도 여전히 열열한 팬입니다.
저는 올해나이 66살로 노년에 아직도 닐다이아몬드가 보고십어요~
제가 살아있을때 한번 만나뵙고싶은게 소원인데 형편도 여의치못하고 나이도 먹고 죽기전에 소원을 이루지못할거 같아 안타까울뿐입니다.
매일 유투브로 당시늘 만니보고 노래를 듣고 있으면
행복하답니다~^^
닐 다이아몬드 사랑합닏~^^
Great video, I love this man
OOOH!!!....OHHH!!!...A WORLD TREASURE!!!...INDEED!!!! HE WAS...
MUHAMMAD ALI!!...ALI!! ALI!! ALI!!
As He Was Fondly Called?..OH YES!!!
Thank You Neil Diamond For......
This Memory!!!

Nice find and thanks!
"America" maybe the most-Universal song that Neil's ever written
(which is saying a mouthful considering all of the others)
.
It is his "Beautiful" (Christina Aguilera), his "Your Song" (Elton John), his "Piano Man." (Billy Joel). Neil has a ton of great songs, but your statement is so true--it's a modern-day standard.
I was one of the tree people in his Hot August Night show at the Greek theater. After that I paid to see him every time he played at the Greek.
at last a tree people!! hello to you Steve G was 13 50 years ago in South Africa bought this brilliant double LP and listened to it again and again i m singing for u too tree people always wonderd who they were and how many were they? HELLO again hello
Great song of mine love it🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lovely, interesting too
Great video
Thank you...
RIP Champ, my first black HERO!
Sidney Poitier.
I love his Sweet Caroline.
I love his Sweet Caroline.
Mine too for Ali ! He was very nice took a picture , and signed 4 autographs ! And I was the only one on a busy night !
Very good Voice, much more for Demonstrations and progressiv Music too!!!
one grate singer of all times
The song is so fantastic it's impossible to believe it came from one human brain instead of a computer.
