Neil's humility made me adore him & his songs EVEN MORE. Thanks Kathleen.

What a gift. Now Neil has Parkinson’s and has retired. Thank you for all the years of beautiful songs.

Tears as he rendition I am I said. Deep vulnerable human being, who can bear souls, fears , and expectations as Neil Diamond. Such richness in this wonderful passionate human being

Love Neil Diamond. He seemed more emotional and reflective in this interview than I have ever seen before. Have to love the Irish audience also, they do love a sing song!

brung a tear to me eye it did.

He came into the Mayfair Riding and Sport shop on Rodeo dr., where I was working, late 60’s very early 70’s. Had his little child on his shoulders. He was so magnificent and charismatic I froze when he asked for help.i was not quite out of my teens, and used to celebrities, but I just couldn’t speak because his presence was so profound.My older sister was the store manager, and had to push me out of way wait on him. I propped myself up on the display of bell bottoms and just stared at him.He was so kind and sweet to his child and everyone in the store.i got the feeling he was worried I might get fired or something,which I would, if my sister wasn’t the boss, and made a point of sincerely thanking me before he left. I went on to become a makeup artist in music videos and always hoped to meet him again thank him not complaining about me. It never happened. All these years later he seems more lovely than ever. A wonderful human being!God bless his heart. Wonder if he still has the fringe jacket!

My goodness.... such beauty in this man.... Just this past weekend, my sister was visiting and of course, the music is blasting. Years ago, in our youth, we'd be playing our Hot August Night album.. Now, it's KZread and the concert in Dublin was blasting its way throughout the rooms. Neil never ages and his music shall endure.God bless you....

Enjoyed seeing you singing today,it was a chat show,and you did us all proud,it was 6yrs ago, I know you've become quite ill since then,but plz still sing,cos singings your salvation,and selfishly hearing your voice is mine too Anyway my lovely ,sending you some silent healing every day, from pat U.K ❤❤❤

I could listen to him talk and sing all night....He is a fascinating character and an amazing writer..

Always a class act, a great singer, marvelous song writer and all round nice guy.

When he sang " I am I said" his watery eyes revealed he was reflecting on bygone years

Neil is the greatest entertainer of all time He is so very humble and kind. He gives a great concert. He is so good with his audience We all love him.

I love "I am I Said" So beautiful and seeing his emotion while recollecting the exact moments he was feeling at the time. Thank you Neil for your beautiful songs! 🙌

This interview is pure magic. Thank you. His grace and humility leave me speechless.

I thank God that my life has been touched by Neil Diamond since the mid-1960s, though attending four concerts, countless hours of listening on the radio, records, cassette tapes, and into the 21st century with these amazing interviews with such a kind and soulful man! I took my mother to see him all four times (and once, my nephew Shon went with us, amazed that "his tickets sold out faster than Guns and Roses!!!"), also saw The Jazz Singer twice about 40+ years ago. To me, the best part about him is that his songs and voice and who he is, come through clearer than ever. Brooklyn Roads, Juliet, Coldwater Morning, and so many more, still touch our souls and remind us that God truly blesses us with this man, Neil Leslie Diamond!

LEGEND 🎉, what an awesome human being, loved you then love you still. God bless always ❤️

What a classy guy, a global treasure.

Neil Diamond is just WONDERFUL

I was an elder in the church in Edmonton responsible for the teens. One Friday evening, they went to a members house for an evening of karaoke. I led songs in worship, so I knew I could sing, so I went along, knowing there wouldn't be anything in THAT machine for me. I was old enough to be most of their grand-dads. When all the kids were done butchering most of the songs, they implored me to give it a try. I've only sang karaoke once ... that was this night. There was nothing in there for me, until ..... "Sweet Caroline" came up and I said, "I might be able to sing that one"!! The song went on and on and on and on, when the "machine crowd" was going crazy with wild applause and after about 7 minutes, it came to an end. The owner of the karaoke machine said that I blew the top off the top score!! Thanks Neil. I owe it to you.

Love this interview of Neil 💖

Thank you kindly for sharing from your heart, Neil Diamond. I’m so glad I found this amazing moment he gave us.

I love this section of The Late Late , Neil comes across as a quite sensitive decent soul which comes across in the great songs he has written, I Love Hello again, Play me and I am I said , very personal songs , Here I particularly love I am I said , It’s stripped down or just Neil singing it just him and guitar , Tears in his eyes as he sings , Very emotional for Neil as he recalls his self doubt brings a lot of emotion into his performance, I loved it , Would love to see him just do an acoustic tour , Amazing catalogue , Very real person I feel , no airs and graces just a very open person talking about his fears and emotions , really enjoyed this interview , Respect Neil

You made it Neil Diamond , you are a doctor of the heart and song !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🌹💖😁🙏 Your songs bring healing to a sad heart!!! God bless you!

The "i am i said" just broke me into tears. What an honest, humble, transparent soul. Neil gives all of us permission to be scared, to try, to struggle, to search, to dream, to reach, and to express all our deep inner feelings. He to me is an angel, the ones talked about in the Bible that are right in front of us and we don't know they are really angels, not quite human. I love Neil as a child loves a father...may all your days be filled with glorious light my fellow sojourner. You are my true inspiration to keep loving and living and giving all the days i have left.

That gave me chills when he sang 'I am I said'. Powerful.

Exactly I just watched his interview on the Larry King show and Larry kept interrupting him and seemed to be rushing him. I know there's only so much time on. 30 min program bit if you really respected an artist then just have that one on for the entire show ESPECIALLY if it's Neil Diamond telling his story with singing going on ❤️

when the crowd starts to sing along the first time, why does it make me cry? wonderful. then the story of how "I am, I said" came about, and his singing it, more tears.

Those tear-filled eyes during i am i said... he seemed so overwhelmed by the love for him♥️

Jazz Singer is my favorite movie in all my 68 years. Long time Neil Diamond Ohio fan❣️

What a great Interview - and Neil's story underpinning the creation of the song "I am.. I said" was wonderful and I will never forget that whenever I listen to that song from now on. Neil gave us many great songs Bless you Neil.

What a marvelous man, so talented, kind and so deeply human.

What a fabulous man! Sings from his heart with tears in his eyes. Didn't realize her was so humble. How did I miss that?

I had the great pleasure of seeing Neil Diamond in concert twice, absolutely amazing.

I remember being an usher at LSU for a Neil Diamond concert about 1977. We arrived early and he was still rehearsing. He invited us to sit on the front row and asked us if there was something we wanted him to sing to us. Then he said, "You people help the fans and together we will try to make them happy."

Neil is without a doubt the living definition of "cool." I think it's amazing (and super cool, lol) his real name is Neil Diamond - it's perfect for what he does. Most have to come up with a trendy sounding and catchy stage name. Not this amazing performer though. I love to watch Jack Black do his quick little impersonations of Neil; they're hysterical. What a great interview. Brings back a-lot of memories of seeing Neil over the years. Thank you very much for posting it ✌
