I'm really sad I missed this. He is a class act all the time. To think in the 60s he was so shy there were no published pics of him. Not until Hot August nite there abts.
I'm 64. I remember hearing Solitary Man in 1966. That would make me 11 at the time. I thought he was kind of country a little bit. Over time, other of his songs reinforced this sense that he was from the south. Kentucky Woman, Brother Loves Traveling Show, Sweet Caroline... Now all these years later, I'm for the first time hearing him speak, and to my ears he has this Jewish New York accent. Cracks me up. I really didn't know he was Jewish. And Diamond is his real birth name.
I always thought he was a Country/Western singer when I was growing up. 'Kentucky Woman', 'Thank The Lord For The Night Time', 'Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon', sounded very country to me.
Can't believe he wasn't cast in Sopranos...he would have been brilliant. Pure class with an undercurrent of darkness...and naturally very very funny in a New York way. Great interview.
No hablo inglés. Entré por darme el gusto de escuchar su voz y qué suerte que lo hice!!!!! Aunque solo entiendo palabras sueltas puedo apreciar su sentido del humor y su simpatía. Es adorable! Amo a este hombre! He disfrutado de su música desde sus comienzos y lo sigo haciendo. Tiene una voz maravillosa y sus composiciones son bellísimas!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
What a gentleman, for me it would intimidating to talk to someone like Neil Diamond anthough I know he is a down to earth person. He is a musical genius from Brooklyn just like Gershwin was.
Lordy, Lordy he was SO SEXY. Such a beautiful man - and an absolutely incredible single who always remained so humble and relatable. Just love him ❤️🇬🇧
Pretty Funny!! Almost Victor Borge Humor. Works all the time. And, actually , the latter a very fine pianist. ....When, he got around to it! Jay a good sport. Your lost art Neil, is comedy!! 😎💜🇩🇰🇺🇸📬🗽
I love you Nail Daimound 😁 unfortunately you are married 👰 otherwise I come to you to get married 👰 you are so hundsome, funny, sweet respectful so I like it to but I can see you only here, thank you for this monent ❤️❤️blessings 🙏
Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (110 Volt America-Europe 220 Volt) I'm approached by Lou van Rees Management for a solution to my Hammond Rent.After four days I got my B3 Hammond returned with Fire Burn spots of Cigarettes.It frustrated me.They have me removed me from the Neil Diamond Fan Club because I had this listed on their site.Never Apology of Neil Diamond ;-(
I've never under stood Neil diamond appeal every one of his songs sounds the same the lyrics are drivel thee diction sounds as English is a second language. And what does crackling. Rose you're a store bought woman mean? Was she a love doll?
His lyrics are more like stream of consciousness, like many of those by Paul Simon, as opposed to good storytelling. Both NYC Jewish boys from roughly same time period. He keeps his music simple harmonically, and trades rather on the interesting richness of his voice combined with his graceful stage presence. He was a member of the NCAA champion NYU fencing team, always was light on his feet, and he knows how to dance in ways that subtly entice females.
One of the best singer/songwriters in music history.
Neil Diamond must be a dream to interview on a show like this. He’s so natural, and funny!
Neil has a great sense of humor. A natural comedian. Long may he live in health and happiness
Agree

Is Neil jewish? Oh, god!
@@johnvictord8303 Yes. Very culturally influential.
He’s a Brooklyn boy.
I always thought he was a Country/Western singer when I was growing up. 'Kentucky Woman', 'Thank The Lord For The Night Time', 'Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon', sounded very country to me.
He always honors others
I believe ; that he is just wonderful no matter what he does.

No freedom of speech with him, bad guy

Haha.....you're a rare one who doesn't like Neil....he's one of the few greats. Wonder who you like....

Cracklin rose was slang for a bottle of wine.
