Seen him live several times, a great showman and entertainer. He has sadly now retired from performing due to Parkinson’s Disease. Thank you Neil for the many memories.

Not only a great singer but I bet you've hummed a few of the tunes he wrote but were huts for others. "I'm a Believer" and "Red, Red Wine" come to mind.

Player #5621402, I'm so bummed for him because I never got to see him perform live and Parkinson's is no fun.

I believe the original Jazz Singer movie (1927 version) was the first talkie, or at least it was according to the movie Singing in the Rain.

I saw Neil at his very peak during his "Hot August Night" tour. He was on fire and had a killer band.

I Love all of his music. My husband was in the Navy & we were stationed overseas when 'They're coming to America' was released & the guys declared it a new anthem.

Player #5621402, Yes! I saw him perform once. He put on the greatest live music show I have ever seen! He is one of a kind.
