THE PRESIDENT SHOULD GIVE THIS GREAT MAN A CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR FOR THIS MOST PATRIOTIC SONG AND LYRICS. WE LOVE YOU NEIL AND THANK YOU. STAY HEALTHY.
Good for you Terry. God Bless you.
I can understand what you're saying but the medal of honour would not be the one given nor should it be. The medal of honour is strictly for us military personnel. Theq highest civilian medal is the medal of freedom
Absolutely deserve it
who? Harris!!!
@@cjk247lol
For my Grandfather who came here through Ellis Island from Ireland. Thank you Grandpa for giving us a chance!!❤🇺🇲
If you’re American this song has to water your eyes with pride. To all those who paved the way to make this country great thank you.
Hell ya it does
I am a South African with a German immigrant father and feel the same way about South Africa.
I agree with you 10'0%
Sure does
And yes our proud military vetrens.
I'm a first generation American, and I thank God every day that my parents escaped the horrors and deprivations of Eastern European communism.
It may not be popular to say these days, but I'm proud to call myself an American!
Be proud of you, a lucky person.
My people came frome Wales. The story remains the same. My son was adopted, so he came from Vietnam. Yet his story remains the same.
We all came to America.
Let’s keep this nation strong 💪🏽 love America love your beautiful country respect her and protect her from all enemies... Freedom is not Free.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I declare on this day July 16,2023 I am officially declaring myself an American citizen.
😅🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😢😮😅😅 0:13 😊 0:14 😅😢😢😅😊😅😅

I feel my grandparents struggle immigrating from Czechoslovakia to escape Nazi Germany. They knew hardly a thing about this country. They spoke no English. They had less than $100. They had no relatives here. They had no friends here. My grandparents, along with millions of others with and before them came to America because they wanted to feel the warmth of freedom’s light. America’s promise of freedom, opportunity. was so great they accepted the extreme challenge of starting a new life. And out of their amazing success came a deep appreciation and love of this beautiful land of liberty that still remains two generations later. Many countries have amazing, wonderful people but only one county breathes liberty. America.
Welcome to America🙏
Blessed to see your family story. I was blessed to be a Mayflower daughter and a US citizen from birth and my family from Canada are the most beautiful people too
I love you so much and I don't understand my Owie or anything why
I love him 💕
Only one country breathes liberty, please🤣🤣🤣
Guess you’ve never been to Australia, New Zealand or any similar democratic country. Don’t get me wrong with all its faults I love America it’s a beautiful country with some amazing people but it’s this sort of narrow minded, egotistical, ignorant outlook, that annoys people when the harsh reality is sadly very far from the myth.
Liberty, guess that doesn’t apply to women’s right to choose and control their own bodies or a school kids right not to live in constant fear of whether or not they’re going to make it home alive from school each day or whether people’s votes are respected regardless of their skin colour, race and or religion, or the appalling and ever widening wealth disparity in such a rich country and the ridiculous indentured servitude, minimum wage or the predatory capitalism run amok etc🙄🤔🤮🤮🤮
Total legend this guy. Fantastic.
Just a proud American no cursing and his songs no dancing or anything pure vocal unmatched and has outlived the decades of time to still be on top take a bow kneel diamond you deserve it
Truth!
Hi mr. Diamond. Mmmm u look great. Love u, Del. 💋💋
I think cursing is the most American thing ever. I’m pretty sure when the best men and women our country has are laying down their lives in service to America? Yeah…I’m pretty sure they go out cursing. So, if Neil Diamond or anybody else wants to get up there and shake their butt and curse into the mic? That’s ok. Of course, that’s just my opinion…I could be wrong…
If this was a religious blog, I'd say... A-men to that!
I'm indigenous an this song touches my heart. I cant hear it without shedding a tear. Thank you, Mr. Diamond for this song an your music. May the Great Spirit give you a long life.
You have expressed my feelings so perfectly, thank you sir!
@@rodmcdonough6111 You're very welcome, sir.
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Bless you, Sir!
Indigenous also!!!! Thanking God for Ira Hayes, even if America forgets!
I am American born and bred, but this song just gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it ❤
Have a lusten to a few of my songs.

Gets me choked up!
@@user-kq5qp6dh8l What have been smoking?
My Grandparents came here to 🇺🇸 from Denmark legally ...Love this song by Neil Diamond
I love Neil so much. I saw him 30 plus times in concert from 1977-2017 and will cherish all those concerts. I met him and he was so sweet. My heart is breaking knowing he has Parkinson's disease and can no longer perform, but more than that, it hurts to see such a great man, suffering. I love you, Neil. ❤❤
I remember when I was a kid my dad telling me how lucky I was to be born in this country, I know life isn't always perfect, but people who were born in the US have to remember how fortunate we are, because people in other countries have it way worse If you woke up with $20 to your name, a roof over your head and food to eat, you are in the upper 15% of wealthiest people. Count your blessings!!!!!!!!!
Celebrating July 4th, 2020 by listening to “America.”
I am all the way around the other side of the globe in Australia listening to this beautiful voice.
This is the song that makes complete sense. It puts other songs by songwriters to shame. This is what true patriotism should be.
Exactly! on both accounts!
One of the greatest voices in history
My eyes filled with tears for all those who come to America "legally" to be an asset and add to the greatness of this country.
Facts! I know a man who works his "butt" off. He just becaa citizen. He to me is what america truly is for a country. My philosophy: come to America "legally"
Understand THE CONSTITUTION! THIS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT! People who follow the constitution!
This kinda a piss poor take. Your (and mine 🇨🇦) country is entirely based on some people just showing up and deciding to stay (putting it lightly) and for the longest time people just showed up on boats. I don't think you quite understand the immigration process and think
It's as simple applying and waiting a bit. For alot of people the answer is simply "no". Not saying you shouldn't have border security, but get off your moral high horse for winning the lottery
@@Violet.703 You're very misguided and ill-informed and I don't think YOU understand the difference between immigrating 100+ years ago and the process since then.
@@bubbadano1508 I know all about it. For some bizarre reason my mother chose to immigrate to USA. I did not go with her . People who were born here (aka zero work into it) from ancestors who just stepped off a boat with little to no papers and wait lists to go through have no business saying people who do the same now are somehow immoral for doing the same thing your grandparents did
I owe my freedom to my past generations. I love AMERICA now more than ever, and I don't take my freedom for granted. It should be adopted as our NATIONAL SONG OF LIBERTY. P.S. FOR ALL AMERICANS.
The Great Neil Diamond, One and Only! He sings his songs with such heart & passion. So talented. We love you Neil Diamond!
I consider this one of America's top favorite patriotic tunes !!!. It glorifies , motivates, and celebrates the image and heritage of America and the belief in its values prized by everyone
dreaming to become an American. This is truly a great performance !! Thank you..
Yes!!
I wish this was the alternate [ choice B ] national anthem
This and Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA.
The song speaks about people huddling together, meaning when trying to cross deserts and rivers these people are huddled together by their guides who are called coyotes. They help them get through and sometimes left to die in deserts and drown in rivers, sometimes even rapped by their own guides. These people who come to America look at a dream, far from their beliefs far from their homes, far from families. They travel light ,no luggage, they need to move fast, Hardley any food, that means you have to be strong to go without food, just water for a couple of days, this song is about those who come to America, the song is trying to break barriers of predjudicy, of bigotry, it talking about the dream these immigrants have in coming to America to be free from poverty, hunger, injustice, and having no human rights to be able to express themselves. Coming to America... Who? Immigrants! Who are looking for the se dream you and me have and it only basic, a job, a car, a home.
Sorry but true, the people are too busy looking at immigrants coming to America rather than looking at our political leaders squander tax payers money, make laws that go against humanity and human rights.
Instead of looking at how they just tell you what to do and people do it ! We should be looking at what's ahead, In Front of our faces like , what's up with this vaccine, what's up with color? or the shape of their eyes?
Even Washington said; of other people want to come to America , then America is open to those who want to come and they must become citizens and abide by the laws of this country. The must honor the American flag.
Yeah could be a national Anthem of some sort
Our Democratic government needs to listen & abide by these lyrics. This is what our immigration policies need to reflect instead of allowing illegal drug smugglers, sex traffickers, illegals taking advantage of our programs that should be directed toward the millions of law-abiding, hard-working (American & legal immigrants) people that legitimately deserve them. Neil Diamond says it all so clearly … LISTEN Mr B and everyone else who tells you what to say & do.
Yeh go tell that to don the con 😂😂😂 ps add vict😂😂😂
Give this man his Super Bowl halftime show for goodness sake!
The woke crowd would never allow it!!
@@johnr7471😂
The NFL hates everything this song is about.
I love Neil Diamond so much. Such a great American who appreciates the opportunity this country gave him.
6 years later... Neil Diamond was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. 😢😢😭 Then in 2020, he retired from Touring, but still writes his marvelous music. 👍👍 & 10⭐
This song speaks about the REAL America, the America that was already great, the America forged by the sweat and blood of people from many other nations with a thirst for freedom. Bless you Neil!!!
Yes and sweat and blood of many Natives Americans who lost their land and lives by a man full of greed
Now lead by a psycho who's building a wall around Mexico, supported by a Russia. Corrupted from very beginning forged by a greed, arrogance
, xenophobia, deception. That's how great REAL America is.
Kend Rick that big hunk of orange crap does NOT represent the real America even if his stupid little hat says so. I our day and time there is room for everybody: native, Jewish, Latin, European, African... all. I’m sorry you think that way. Millions of people do NOT agree nor are represented by 45 and his BS.
@@kendrick9734 let us hope there is change in the future.
@@veevintage2619 well said!!!
God bless our amazing immigrants not afraid and willing to contribute and giving their best to this great country.
On behalf of my parents, thank you.
I will always remember in 1998 in Orlando .. I love it.... God Bless Neil , giving me a great night.. I love your music and Thank God for someone to stand up and sing that Song.. God Bless American..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Neil for sharing your incredible talent with us all these years 🥳
OMG! I was there!! In the 3rd row, this was incredible! Best Concert Ever!! Thanks Neil❤️❤️❤️
For all the kids today ,this is what we call a SUPERSTAR no gimics ,just unbridled talent ☺Thankyou Neil for the music ☺
Exactly!
screw you, we have the beib
@@spacecatboy2962 You're funny! Bieb? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AMEN!
Agree, one of the best
I am one of the immigrant that he is singing about!!!
Welcome!
Me too me and mad shenans love his music
damn right bro
Welcome...this song was always one of his most popular songs live ...In the past a big flag would unfurl at the back of the stage...the vibe was patriotic, proud to be American and moved by the stories of how people left all to come to the "new and shining place" - we appreciated and understood that we all came from immigrants. Sad an embarrassing how far we have falllen
@@MikeCoggan ...I too was a legal immigrant & became naturalized. Key word being "legal"....I learned the language & the culture....The only way it should be.
Neil Diamond, one of America's greatest artist. I am Mexican American and born here. I love ❤ America 🇺🇸 and would never want to live anywhere else on earth.
Everyone should stop and salute when that one plays.. WOW.
It doesn't get any better than this... I'm happy and proud to be an American!
My Father passed away on New Year's Day 2018 😔I remember him always singing Neil Diamond songs when I was a little girl...and I'd sing right along with him!! I miss my Dad so much, but listening to Neil brings back so many good memories 💜
sqeeeeeeeeei e eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dear Alisha: I'm very sorry for the loss of your beloved father. However, his memory lives on in the spirit and power of Neil Diamond's 'beautiful noise.' Keep listening . . . . your papa is with you with every song & heartbeat!!!! LOVE YOU, dear Alisha!!!
Mine passed July 4, Y2K so every year I hear this, see fireworks, etc, and think of him. So similar❤️
Um espetaculo. A voz de Neil e a musica tambem. Quanto mais eu ouço mais quero ouvir.
Sad but beautiful,Your father is alive in your ❤️.🌷
Right now, with all that is going on in the Ukraine (2022), this song has so much meaning for me. For all of us! Thank you, Neil Diamond!!!
I can’t believe how blind people are about the truth of Ukraine! Zelenskyy IS WORSE THAN PUTIN! And, he is the leader of the Ukrainian SS NAZI PARTY! He has no qualms about killing anyone in the street that mutters one bad word about him. He has shut down newspapers & had entire staff murdered over printing negative articles about him!
Russia Is not fighting Ukraine! It’s loyal Ukrainian nationalists fighting Ukrainian SS NAZIS!
And the world is being fed bullshit from A FREAKING PEDOPHILE PRESIDENT WHO CRAPS HIS PANTS WITH EVERY STEP HE TAKES!
Whom ever lied to you I pray the lord opens your eyes my friend. I have friend who as conservative as me, but a few have been lead astray like yourself. Please let the lord open your eyes, Putin is a hurt man that doesn’t know where to go. He’s the one the needs the lords light, please pray and let God show you the way. Peace be on you.

His voice,accent is gorgeous 😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am not american citizen yet,but i am crying so much listening this song.I love this country and this people ❤
And that's what it's all about. Welcome!
My Grandparents came from Ukraine in 1927 legally and took classes to learn writing, reading and to speak English.
My grandparents arrived in America from Germany, with 4 children,March 1904. My father was born FREE and an AMERICAN, April, 1905. I'm one of his,and my mothers 14 children. Five daughters, nine sons. I'm one of 8 of those 9 sons who are veterans,WWll, Korea and Viet Nam.
Thank you for your service....you, your brothers, our (USA's) other "brothers and sisters" who served, and to the parents- who raised these courageous, selfless Americans in the first place. Sincerely, thank you (from a fellow American, one not as brave as you).
John Veer My grandfather came as an 8 year old cabin boy
My family came over from Germany also, we came over on the Mayflower.
@@redoksunflower ours came on the Mayflower true. Pregnant onions came along
Yes thank you and your brothers for serving in military.. War is so damaging kill everyone and then made it casual. I dont quite get that
Thank you to my parents for taking the courageous journey to make it to AMERICA!
This song reminds me of my parents migrating in the early 70’s to build a future and foundation to our beautiful country of freedom of USA ❤ our sweet land of liberty! Then 2 years later I was born!!! I love and adore my country ❤🫶🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️
if you don't like Neil Diamond you don't know what good music is.....
Johnny Kern 1928 - 1995
Neil was on FIRE that night! Something about the Greek just energizes him in a special way that no other venue does. This one will go down in history!
if this song does not choke you up as an American with children and family, i feel sorry for you.
Amen
❤️❤️❤️
Indisputably one of the best songs of Neil Diamond...when its rises through the crescendo and reaches its peak..its altissimo...el presto el supremo.
American people, wake up. This is what America is about!
I’ve listened to this song 🎶 and seen Mr. Diamond live, but never, will “Coming To America” have more impact than right now!
I'm not an American born. I love you and your song. This song inspired me since I landed in the United States. To those who hates Red White and Blue, Home of the Brave, Land of the Free. Please learn how to respect and love this nation.
I am American !!! and proud of it!! My relatives were all English born and bred in the mother land !
This song is dedicated to all immigrants around of the world, be proud who you are, what is important is not where you come from,is what you are made of.
Em
With
Kindness
Bronco Zion It’s called they’re coming to America. No other Country is mentioned.
@@moemcgovern7345 you dont get it, dont you , your comment is so sad.
Thank you Neil Diamond for my own ancestors from my mother's mother, Ireland, from my mother's father, Scotland, from my Jewish father's family, Poland and Russia. We are all immigrant's children in America. I posted your song on my FB page to remind America what we are suppose to be about, FREEDOM. Bless you and your family! xx
Thank you Neil for all the Decades of Unforgettable Memories! What a Legend!
My favorite song by Neil diamond ❤
71 at the time and still rocking. What a voice, presence and performance. One of modern music's best ever!
Nothing is better as to be be free doesnt matter where ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Neil's story is America's story. What an absolutely amazing man.
I've only got the one citizenship.
My people came from Ireland at the same time his came from Russia maybe on the same boat
His grandmother came to America from Kiev or Kyiv. That's in Ukraine. Russia has been invading Ukraine and claiming it [called stealing] for over 1,000 years. Just like the Ancient Greeks and Romans stole his and my ancestors' land in Eretz Yisrael 4000 years ago. It's still our homeland! The Greco-Roman conquests or stealing of land that belongs to others does not make it any less our land. The original Hebrew word Israeli translated to indigenous. When Jews failed in their quest to overthrow Roman rule in the 2nd century [120 to `130 C.E.] the Ancient Romans had their soldiers go all around the empire and replace any and all references to Jews, Hebrews, and Israelites with Falstin. It's Latin and the modern translation is Philestine or Palestinian, It means foreigner. They tried to rewrite history casting Jews as strangers in our own land. During the 1200s, the Ottoman Empire built the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount where the remains of the Ancient Jewish Temples were. They did it to prevent a 3rd Jewish Temple and to bribe Arabs into repelling the invading Christian Crusaders. In World War II, the Palestinian Brigades fought alongside the British and the Canadians against the invading Nazis, Italian Fascists, and the Stalinists. 100% of them were Jewish. Not one single Arab. The Arabs of the Middle East either hoped the Nazis and Fascists would leave them alone, or they outright collaborated with them. It's why the Grand Mufti [a Muslim holy title like Ayatollah]of Jerusalem was convicted of War Crimes, Crimes Against Peace, and Crimes Against Humanity at Nuremberg! The Arab League told Arabs in Eretz Yisrael to leave their homes and come fight with the 600,000+ strong Army of the Arab League. Their reward once the Jews were defeated [dead] would be to once again steal our homes and land. That Arab League Army of over 600,000 lost to a rag-tag band of Jews under 37,000. The Arab League has lost all conflicts since then, and elected Hamas as its leadership in 2006. Then Hamas began using the Palestinian Arabs as human shields. They still haven't even made any attempt to rid themselves of Hamas, who built reinforced tunnels beneath the streets of Gaza; continued firing rockets and missiles into Israel, and even blew themselves up at Jewish Hospitals when the Jewish Red Cross [called Mogen David Adom] admitted them to Israel to treat their injuries. They attacked Israel on the holiest day of the Jewish year in 1973 [Yom Kippur]. The equivalent would be attacking the Vatican during Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Not one Arab nation has ever taken in Palestinian Arabs. However, in 1948, they expelled 1.1 million Jews from Arab Middle East Nations, some had lived there for 2000 years. The UN Refugee Agency has a great record resettling refugees, who often become citizens in their new countries. The UN Palestinian Refugee Agency is almost 80 years old, and has never even resettled or taken in a single refugee or other Palestinian Arab. Until 1967, Palestinian referred to Jews and Arabs. Before 1945, the Jews, Neil Diamond's people and mine, were the Palestinians because Palestinian is from the Latin word for foreigner. . .
I believe, that majority of people who came here to America, believe they wanted to have a better life. Especially having a Free Life. Who wouldn't want to have a better life. America, is the greatest place on EARTH. And if you (don't like it here then leave).
My late Dad and I had very, very different laste in music, but it somehow crossed paths at Neil Diamond! We saw him 3 times together in Dublin and I have the most amazing memories of it!
I love how he is so PRESENT in his concerts. You can see the love he has for his music and his fans ❤️
Thanks for your love and support I'll love to talk to you more better. kindly send a direct message (678) 384-9088
Thank God I saw him when I could

My father & family came to America in July 1920 on the Aquitania out of Liverpool, great song, Neil, thank you.
my Father and his brother came in 1914, LEGALLY, through Ellis Island.
Glad you clarified I was calling ice
Like a beautiful diamond, Neil's sparkles, everytime, in each and everyone of his live performances.
No problem Mr. Diamond, my boyfriend is in the Army overseas. Thank you for your America songs. God Bless you🙏🙏
People may be Born in America but we all come from somewhere else
Except those who were already here: Native Americans.
I was born here. I don’t come from anywhere else.
This song give me goosebumps every time I hear it. God Bless America.
Yes
God help America is my prayer.
I also feel the same way. I’ve lived in Idaho my whole life and I have always loved this song. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for living in America.
Thank God for America! Shame on all of those trying to bad mouth and destroy it. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Such a meaningful song to many of us who came to America, who came home to a land of freedom and opportunities. This beautiful song is the official anthem for all of immigrants who call America our home. Thank you Neil Diamond 💎 for your inspiration and all the beautiful noises you have created throughout the years ❤
I have loved this song since it first came out. My Grandfather was American and his son married my Mom who immigrated from Europe in the 1920's as a little girl to Canada. Part of her extended family went to America. It reminds me of their journey. I am 70 years old now and look at what is happening in Canada and in America and I doubt they would have been let in today. So very sad. The economic and technology progress was partially because if immigrants that produced children who would contribute immensely.
My grandparents were immigrants who escaped slavery in Austria Hungarian Empire in the 19th and 20th century!!!!!! You have our soul Neil!
My family did not arrive here that recently - records I have found list several as living in the colonies of Virginia and North Carolina. But they had the guts to leave a more civilized country and come to a much less developed country and build homes and families here. For that, I honor those ancestors.
Grew up in the generation of great music all around. That's what you get when you are born in the 60's. Watched him perform, with a zest that knew no bounds. Also watched other greats on the stage and feel that my life is complete. There can never be music like those times ever again....
Everyone thinks they were born into the greatest age of music, ever. That's just ridiculous. btw, this was release din 1980, not the '60's.
I agree with you TOTALLY; no laser lightshow, naked dancers...just awesome performers!
@@AndyCutright They were buddy. Clearly you are not into the scene. That tells a lot, with you not being in the greatest generation. Sorry.
@@AndyCutright No offence mate. But those were the good days of music, even you would agree...
Awesome....this was before I was even born, but this is when music was real music and not this crap we have now.
My ancestors came to the colonies before they were the America. Love this song!
Imagine, no riffing, no rapping, no screaming, and no electronic sweetening, just pure lyrics and pure melodious musicianship.
RapunzelinOttawa rap is a lyrical art form
Imagine that
Rap/Hip Hop/R&B reflects the same struggle against oppression and racism as Neil's Jewish grandmother fleeing the Soviet Pogroms and later, those Jews fleeing National Socialist Germany.
@@troyevitt2437 True dat. And the first white folk interested in rap as an art form were Neil Diamonds people, and mine, the Jews
i mean riffing sounds pretty good as long as you don’t overdo it.
His intro made me cry. Love him forever!
I love this song Americans are proud of you nice performance. How are you Paula ?
I'm 17 years old, but i do love Neil Diamond's music.
Amazing! One so young yet so mature in her musical taste. All praise to you. Please check out my Neil Diamond dedicated channel - ua-cam.com/users/FONDSince1971
That’s awesome 😎 Music doesn’t belong to a specific age group! Many people doesn’t understand that .. .. is universal language. Music is Life
15 here
Music is universal and timeless isn’t it? I love music.
awesome to hear that from our younger generation. god bless
Congratulations for your power, and love for music ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
Patriotism at its finest!
I'm a Brit and this gives me goosebumps!
Germany here - same !
Its the way the music in this brilliant piece is composed...the melody, the background chords, the minor section, and the HORNS...they actually trade off with Neil Diamonds vocal melody. All creating a sound we recognize that identifies strength, hope, and compassion. You can't help getting goosebumps!
With you on that one mate
@@Taiyou536 being a American has nothing to do with your race being a American is in the heart and mind and as American I believe every human being has a right to be FREE everywhere on this planet. I'm of German and Dutch desinte but I'm a American first because my grandparents wanted us to be FREE.
@@staggdegraaff1531 right
As American, the song that within us, the dream that within, the purpose we were created for that we carry with; that dream we carry we can give to the world. No other place like it on the planet and its universal to the human spirit
Every American needs to watch this video. So beautiful and inspiring!
I could NOT agree more, dear Cliff.
You are a very GOOD man. Hugs.
He needs to sing at the next Super Bowl
He reitered due to Parkinson’s😢
Omg rock it Neil.......
No, that would racist. They will get a rapper instead. This country is F’d
Anytime I hear this, I can’t stop crying my eyes out.
Speaks for itself - amazing. Neil should be so proud of what joy his music has brought to so many people.
Absolute genius muçisian. They don't have them like this anymore. .
Such powerful lyrics, sung with passion and remembrance pure God of his craft thank you, 🎤❤️🏴
Magic - pure magic. I attended two of these marvellous concerts, the last two, all the way from Australia - just to see Neil Diamond at the Greek. My late wife also attended the final night and I also treasure that precious memory as well.
I attended one too... bit of a detour from Melbourne, but what an experience!
Saw his most recent in Cleveland, Ohio ----couple years ago. So awesome! Grateful to have seen him before his health issue.
i love you neil , as an anglo Irish man, so much respect for you xxx
@NeilDiamondOfficial321K I will explain my heart felt feelings for your legacy ,tomorrow , is this real or not.. who am i messaging..... tell the truth
this is not neil asking me , who are you , and i will tell when why he will always have a respect in my heart, if i know who i am talking to.x
@NeilDiamondOfficial321K . Neils music means the world to me and always will, i would go into detail but who exactly am i talking to, sorry for asking because its not Neil
The best voice Ilike his songs and still the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He should get a standing ovation from America!! 🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite songs from Neil Diamond.
This song NEVER gets old!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In 1980, when "The Jazz Singer" previewed, my bride of five years and I had two children, (eventually to be six), the film was one that we cherish to this day as one of our favorites.
We are all immigrants of America.
Un less you are Native American born and raised here.
I'm so grateful to live in such a blessed country with so many rights.
We need to stand together more than anything and Fight for our freedoms, equality, and agaisnt those men and women who grotesquely abuse their power agaisnt the greater good of man kind and for their own selfish agendas! I love this song and cant help but me moved when I hear this song.
He had many hits over the years, but I think this was his iconic song.
Why can't we all listen to this song and have compassion for those suffering to get here?? Great song and a stunning singer/songwriter in Neil Diamond.
This country has adopted the dangerous ideology that Constitutionally platforming neo-Nazism, via the First Amendment, is beneficial to democracy. It's the opposite and extending Constitutional Rights to Unconstitutional ideologues is pathetic and self-destructive. The Nazis used Wiemar Germany's democratic electoral system to win the majority vote needed to make Hitler chancellor. Following the Reichstagg Fire, the NSDAP then burned that very democratic bridge behind them.
Come here legally, then you are an American. Border Hoppers, stay where you came from and make your country great. I don't want to support you.
@@joeyduran5077 Come here legally and you're A US CITIZEN. Be born between Alaska and Argentina and you're an American.
Donna Gutierrez.......because we have a dangerous wannabe-dictator in charge at the moment.......hopefully only for 5-6 more months!
This song gave me goosebumps as a child. It just brought tears to my eyes !
Dawn McKenzie Same here. :)
Dawn McKenzie .. it’s such a beautiful song
Goosebumps big time
Like Neil's mother Rose, my grandmother Rose was also the daughter of Ukrainian immigrants (to Canada), and my father's family were Polish Jews, so I can identify with Neil's lineage quite well. The New World of North America really is a wonderful place, but we need to be mindful to keep it that way.
Me too .....its beautiful and makes me proud to be an American
He sings about the American that once WAS.
Absolutely my song, my immigrant song. YES!
My parents liked Neil Diamond's music and this song & The Jazz Singer movie.
