Hi Kathleen! Oh my goodness!! I’ve just come across this, on your U Tube channel. Wonderful.I’ve seen various videos, with your name, and picture posted, as the heading, watched all of them, because they were on Neil Diamond ♦️ ❤. And I will absolutely watch anything, if it’s got Neil Diamond in it.. Absolutely,….everything!! I have often, seen and heard Neil, do his BLSS song, on various videos,but, only in his more mature years. I’ve never seen this one………he being so young, and had me wondering, if mb, a mistake, in year……1970 ??, surely, 1960, as he only looks about 20!! . I have been fan, and admirer of his music, songs, and poetry, and of, the man, himself…..we all had,( I suspect), our own “secret”,”in love”, feeling, about him!! Seriously, he was out on his own,,set apart, from all other, so -called “ glorified songwriters”. Apart from all the comments, and platitudes,…ie…..” easy on the eye”. “ so handsome” “ smoulderingly gorgeous “….if one loved music,( all genres)real, good music 🎼….upon hearing him, ( just once),you knew,” this is different,..a pearl, 100%, pure, and the “poetic, musical, heavenly ,lyrics, just flowed,magically, and effortlessly from within.Stellar( Is that proper word?)You knew, …this was on an entirely different level! I grew up,( 1941), listening to, classical music, and 🎶 songs, as my father had a lovely tenor voice, and so , he had all the old 78,s, of the world’s famous, classical singers,of that time. Ist,…(according to my father)…Enrico Caruso,2nd, Beniamino Gili, 3rd, Jussi Bjorling,, and Richard Tauber, referred to,as The Golden Voice, Of The World 🌎 Of Romance.He was not rated, as an opera singer, but became, so popular,on the big stage, and music 🎶 halls.of the time, ..he was asked to perform, in various operettas, ..to huge acclaim, he had the most beautiful melodious voice, songs ,such as: Roses OfPicardy, Birds Songs At Eventide,Serenade From The StudentPrince,You Are My Hearts delight, and my own favourite, of his: We Are in love With You,My Heart And I. Such wonderful 🎶 music 🎵 ,of long ago.❤❤❤ As years passed, my repertoire, became varied, and extended, Everly Brothers, for harmony, and guitar extraordinar,, Righteous Brothers,Simon, and Garfunkel,Matt Munro, Frank Sinatra, and of course…Andrea Bocelli, of the more recent years.But, when Neil came along, .. it was the early 70,s, I think, before I got to hear him, Song, Song Blue, Crackling Rosie, Kentucky Woman, and Holly Holy, think, ,as everything. , ,as were the first, I heard, prob on radio, and oh! my goodness!!, I was wholly, and entirely captivated, and captured….forever!! Old type tapes, ℹ procured , through my wonderful son, and eventually cd,s…..wonderful.I was eventually, “within the clutches of Mr Neil Diamond.❤❤.It’s hard to pick a favourite as everything he’s done, is just magnificent.Comes to mind…Solitary Man, I Am I Said, and Brooklyn Roads, are so poignant. One particular, one, from early years, I had on my tape, caught my attention….Canta Libra…tremendous, heartfelt, and soul touching.He sang it in part English, and either Spanish, or Mexican.Absolute masterpiece. Had it on both tape, and cd, but cassette player , stopped playing,it was old, perfect condition,, tidy, neat, size and played tapes cd,s, and radio. My daughter, lent me ,her own cassette/ radio , for good while, but ℹ returned it to her, as would surely wear it out listening to Neil’s songs. I never replaced , that lovely little cassette/ radio player, as illness, visited our home, and my husband became victim of the debilitating Parkinson’s Disease, just like Neil, is now battling. Poor man. My husband was only 50 years old, when diagnosed, and lived for almost 30 years with it.He became full- time care, for last 10/ 12 years of his life.I looked after him, at home, my as I was quite fit and healthy, and am grateful, The Lord, allowed me to do so.He died quite suddenly,from massive heart attack….no previous, or obvious heart problem’s, even with PD…just his time had come..suddenly,and without warning, and no suffering, ..in hindsight, after the sudden loss, and grief abated, it was a blessing, as he had lived with, and bore it ,with great dignity, for such a long .time. He died,..24thDecember, 2009, the day before Christmas Day. I have been a widow now, for 15 years. When COVID raised its ugly head, and almost destroyed the world 🌍, and everyone in it, my wonderful family,( during lockdown), gifted me with an IPAD….I’d never possessed one,before then, they wanted to be able to keep, in touch, with me,(God Bless them), and so, that IP saved me ! I once again, was able to reconnect with my youth. All the wonderful music 🎶, of the 50,s 60,s 70,s and 80,s, and more!! and hear all the songs, I’ve never heard, as well as the “oldies “, of Neil’s vast repertoire!. The later years….Taproot Manuscript,(genius), Tennessee Moon Album, ( maybe, incorrect title), but had a duet , with Neil, and Waylon Jennings, singing….Tennessee Moon,on it, and other lovely songs. Melody Road…..another masterpiece, much older, in this, but the lyrics, 💜 ❤️‍🩹 heartbreakingly soulful. So so many masterpieces, couldn’t begin to……Since having my IPAD,, I’ve started to write some comments, just a few, as I never learned to type, and now,….at age , and with arthritic, hands, and fingers, I “TYPE”, with one arthritic index finger, and can imagine, how long that takes!! Totally inexperienced and Technologically, ignorant!!So ,everything, and anything goes wrong, and I have to start again. This is first comment, I’ve done on Neil didn’t feel adequate enough, in my phrasing, and to do him rightful justice… how could one??, but however, here we are!Almost forgot, travelled to Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 in 1993/94, to see Neil, in our famous Croke Park , Stadium. it was a gloriously warm August evening, packed to capacity he was dressed all in white, and later changed inside multi coloured outfit. Magical evening, and a tremendous performance by Neil, The crowd, were ecstatic, and Neil did 3 encores.!! Best night of my life!! The song: “Canta Libre”, he performed, on that night ,also,…superb. I have never seen, or heard it on any video, on U Tube, now, but I had it on my old ( missing tape)…80,s, I would think, and titled………The Best Years Of Our Lives. I don’t know if you are still posting on U Tube……………long time ago, it obviously was a major hit, ( he had so many like that…not hits) Maybe Neil Diamond International Channel. Such a pity……… a rare piece of music………typical Neil, nothing like anything’s, been heard before, or again. At 83 years old, I am in awe of this wonderful human being, this once in a lifetime,special humble, man, master of his “ craft”, absolutely 💯 and unequivocally,a genius in our midst, for his artistry, in songwriting, song, and poetic lyrics,he literary turned poetry, into song 🎶 and visa versa. Talk about Jesus, walking amongst men………he is likened to a Messiah, a Jewish Messiah, with all he has poured forth, musically upon this sometimes ungrateful, ignorant world. In my humble opinion, he has been underrated and virtually ignored musically, by a great number of musically ignorant people I am so sorry about his illness, and pray , that his indelible 🎤 musical skill, will sustain him, and the Lord’s Blessing. You are a giant, among men, Neil 💎 ♦️ Diamond. Forgive such a long missive, Kathleen, I get carried away……… and why wouldn’t I, with the subject -in - hand persona, and ICON!! Thank you for posting such a jewel.❤❤❤❤. My regards, admiration and heavenly blessings to you Neil, and to your lovely wife, and family. Molly. From. Ireland 🇮🇪 ,

On 4.31 they talk about his wife and all the ladies throwing themselves at him. His answer : “She knows the truth, she still loves me and still puts up with me” . The truth about what? Messing with other women and she puts up with it? Wow, would I like to know what he meant by that!!

My Dad bought this album when it first came out. And played it for the whole family. I was 6. But this was an amazing album. Jonathan Livingston Seagull was earlier and my Dad would ply it and tell me the story and I would cry because of how Jonathan was being treated. Love this singer/songwriter because he was such a huge part of my childhood.

Neil Diamond's Tour in 1992 was sensational and really memorable for me. I grew up listening to to Neil Diamond, falling in love and getting married. We never stopped listening to Neil Diamond. We (as in husband 44 and myself) saw Diamond Live In Concert in April 1992, unbelievably we took my father as he also liked Neil Diamond's music. I think I can honestly say at 39, taking one's own father who was 61 to a live concert, was a unique experience but rather fitting for this daughter and father duo. Mind my father had be providing front of house spotlighting for entertainers, Pop Shows and various artists including the Australian National Ballet in the 60s, taking me with him where possible. He even did the spotlighting for the Beatle to which he couldn't take me, fortunately for him I ended up being iill in bed, I chose to believe I couldn't go as I was really sick. My most memorable moment was when he had me helping him with front of house spotlighting using the old carbon arc spotlight where two carbon rods produced the light source by feeding the rods to a close distance from each other. A very hot and hazardous operation behind an aspestos curtain, while doing the floodlighting for the Australian National Ballet at the tender age of ten and actually being paid by cheque in my own name. Something other kids just never had the opportunity to do or experience. So really seeing a live concert together 29 years later, was no real surprise for us. Neil Diamond had planned to tour Australia in 2018, which we were going to go with the whole nine yards tickets that included pre-show meet events. Unfortunately it was late in 2017 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's and forrced him to cancel his World Tour in 2018 at the age of 77.

I’ve had Hot August Night on record, tape, cd and now on computer. I wore out two tapes. Thanks Neil you are still my favourite artist of all time. I think I’d be one of the “tree people” as I never had much money as a kid.
