Anyone else know him as The Jewish Elvis? Love On The Rocks and America were my favorite songs from his movie The Jazz Singer
Roberta Ann
Saw Neil Diamond in concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the 1980s. He was fantastic!! He had the entire audience up on their feet when he played "America!"
Rick-N-Bacher
also wrote songs for Deep Purple in their early days 💜

Red Red Wine is a great song. I first heard it while serving in Beirut. I did not realize Neil Diamond wrote it or recorded it though.

Sweet Caroline is one of the most beloved songs of the 60s. I've seen whole bars full of people (at just the right stage of tipsy) sing out loud when Sweet Caroline comes on the jukebox. Not too many songs can inspire that.

Roberta Ann, Like the Morticia, picture.. A lot of unknown songwriters sell songs ( and all rights to them ), to music producers in places like " Music Row, " In Nashville, TN ( not the only Nashville) . Neal Diamond is the real deal, others may not be..
