From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Jonathan Livingston Seagull is the soundtrack album to the 1973 American film Jonathan Livingston Seagull, recorded by singer-songwriter Neil Diamond and produced by Tom Catalano. The album marked Diamond's return to Columbia Records, and grossed more than the film itself. It is Diamond's ninth studio album, and his first album after his successful 1972 live album Hot August Night. It won the 1974 Grammy as Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special.
Irvine Herald reviewer Willie Freckleton said that "Be" is "classical Diamond singing a very powerful ballad."
Neil Diamond's subsequent album "Serenade" and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" have earned combined 27 gold discs in Australia. As of September 1976, the soundtrack was bigger success than the movie and it grossed 12 million dollars (movie grossed 2 million dollars).
