  • It was in August 1974 when Andy Kim's one and only UK hit entered our charts, eventually to peak at #2. Sounding very much like Neil Diamond, we were surprised that further hits failed to follow.

    I love this song! This song reminds me of a wonderful young man I meet, when I came to this country he had just come back from the military I was very young too I dance this song with him, he fell in love with me but unfortunately my dad send me and my family back to our country in Mexico.
    Years later I came back married a wonderful man. But everytime I hear this song it brings back beautiful memories. 😊❤

      There are Always Imitators of certain styles that Sometimes do a Work of Art. I think of Lou Christie to The Four Seasons or Stafford to Elvis Presley.

    I always thought it was Neil Diamond and I have only just found out that it wasn't until I searched for the rock me gently bit and then I was sure that this guy did a cover version of it but it seems like the Mandela effect is not over yet so I'll probably spontaneously combust if I find out sweet Caroline is this guy too and Neil Diamond never existed!

    Here tonight
    The music playin'
    Our bodies swayin' in time
    (In time, in time, in time)
    Touching you
    So warm and tender
    Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
    Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

    You got the moves that drive me crazy
    And on your face I see a trace of love
    (Of love, of love, of love)
    Come hold me close
    Don't let me go
    I need you, honey
    I love you so
    You were made for me by the stars above
    Oooh
    Rock me gently
    Rock me slowly
    Take it easy
    Don't you know
    That I have never been loved like this before
    And baby baby!

    Definitely sounds like Neil but is Andy Kim, unfortunately for him a one hit wonder that he could never sing well again. I grew up in the 70’s every Sunday listening to Casey Kasem top 40 on the radio in my best friend’s garage. After the countdown my friend’s mother would drive us to kmart, we would buy three 45 records for a $1 at kmart according to our top 40 favorites….
