    "Solitary Man" is a great song. Probably the best song Neil Diamond has ever composed.

      I was 14 & in Junior High when this song came out in 1970. At that time Hurricane Celia had devastated Corpus Christi, Tx. But this song has always been a favorite of mine. I'm 65 Yrs old and probably will still be listening to this song till the end of my days. Good music such as this is hard to come by. Neil Diamond if you're still performing out there Sir... KEEP ROCKIN !!!
      Your music will always live on !!!

    It will never be a question of age to appreciate a great artist like Neil Diamond. I'm more than thirty years younger than him and he's my favorite singer, poet and composer ... And forever! You just need to have the sense of feelings, emotion, sincerity and to love a deep and wonderful soul, an exceptional intelligence and a free mind. If you've got the notion and the feeling of all that, you will love that artist like no other ... And I do love him like no other! En français, vous êtes le plus grand des talents, dear Neil Diamond. ❤️

    Amazing how legendary artists like Neil Diamond simply perform their songs because they are great. He comes out on stage and sings without having what seems like hundreds of dancers and laser lights. At least when you go to see him entertain you know what to expect. You know you won't think you are at the circus.

    "Solitary Man" was the first record Diamond recorded under his own name that made the charts. It remains one of his personal all-time favorites, as it was about his early years as a songwriter, even though he failed to realize it at the time:
    It wasn't until years later, when I went into Freudian analysis, that I understood that it was me. It was an outgrowth of my despair.

    I've not been a huge fan of Neil Diamond over the years, but I definitely respect his talent and I really do love this song (and a few others from him). He's looking and sounding great! (still!)
