In a career
that began in the 1960s, Neil Diamond became a major recording artist, an
internationally successful touring act, and a songwriter whose compositions
produced hits for himself and others. His earliest recognition, in fact, came as
a songwriter associated with the Brill Building era of Tin Pan Alley in the
early '60s. But he soon branched out into recording and performing, and by the
early '70s was topping the charts with the self-written singles "Cracklin'
Rosie" and "Song Sung Blue." This enabled him to be one of the more noticeable
figures in the singer/songwriter movement of the period, as he made a transition
to more of an album artist and those albums began to earn gold and platinum
certifications. He also developed into a dynamic concert performer, as
demonstrated on his 1972 album Hot August Night. At the same time,
however, his music became generally softer, which broadened his appeal while
earning him opprobrium, when he was considered at all, by the rock critics who
dominated pop music journalism. But his millions of fans didn't care about that,
and they flocked to his shows and bought his albums in big numbers until well
into the 1980s. After that, while his concert tours continued to post high
grosses, his record sales became more modest. Still, as of 2001, he claimed
worldwide record sales of 115 million copies, and as of 2002 he was ranked third,
behind only Elton John and Barbra Streisand, on the list of the most successful
adult contemporary artists in the history of the Billboard chart. Meanwhile,
having been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and given its lifetime
achievement award, he could cite an amazingly broad range of pop, rock, R&B,
folk, country, jazz, reggae, punk, heavy metal, alternative, easy listening, and
new age performers who had recorded his songs, among them Altered Images, Gene
Ammons, Chet Atkins, Michael Ball,
Shirley Bassey, Les Baxter, Harry Belafonte, Acker Bilk, the Box Tops, the
Brothers Four, Glen Campbell, Vikki
Carr, Johnny Cash, Petula Clark, Ray

Neil Leslie Diamond was born January 24, 1941, in Brooklyn, NY, the first of two
sons born to Akeeba Diamond (known as Kieve), who operated and owned a series of
dry goods stores in the New York City borough, and Rose (Rapoport) Diamond.
Except for two years in the mid-'40s that the family spent in Wyoming while
Akeeba Diamond served in the military, Diamond grew up in Brooklyn, albeit in
changing locations as his father moved from store to store; he later claimed to
have attended nine different schools and to have suffered socially as a result.
He showed an early interest in music and took up singing and playing the guitar
after seeing Pete Seeger perform at a
camp he was attending as a teenager. In June 1958, he graduated from Abraham
Lincoln High School, and that fall he enrolled at New York University, where he
had won a fencing scholarship, as a premed student. But he seems to have spent
much of his time writing songs and trying to place them at music publishing
companies. He also formed a duo with Jack Packer, a friend of his younger
brother's, and as Neil & Jack they signed a publishing contract with Allied
Entertainment Corporation of America and a recording contract with its
subsidiary, Duel Records. This resulted in the release of two singles, "You Are
My Love"/"What Will I Do" in 1960 and "I'm Afraid"/"Till You've Tried Love" in
1961, Diamond's first commercially released recordings. (In 1996, he reissued "What
Will I Do" on his box set In My Lifetime.) The discs were not successful,
and Neil & Jack broke up when Packer enrolled at the Manhattan School of Music
in January 1961. Diamond, meanwhile, had stopped attending NYU in 1960, but in
1961 he enrolled in the university's School of Commerce, where he maintained his
student status until 1965. (Although many accounts of his life repeat the
erroneous story that he dropped out of NYU in 1962 just short of earning an
undergraduate degree, biographer Rich Wiseman learned the truth by consulting
the university's records.)
On his own, Diamond continued trying to break into the music business as a
songwriter. In 1962, he briefly had a deal at Sunbeam Music, which published
some of his songs, followed by a stint at Roosevelt Music. While he was there,
an assignment came in from Dot Records to submit a follow-up to
Pat Boone's novelty hit "Speedy Gonzales."
Ten of the firm's writers eventually collaborated on a song, appropriately
called "Ten Lonely Guys," which Boone
recorded, and which reached number 45 in the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1962.
Diamond, one of the ten, was credited under the pseudonym Mark Lewis, but this
was his first appearance in the charts. (He also sang lead on the demo, and it
has been suggested that the Diamond Records single of "Ten Lonely Guys,"
credited to Ten Broken Hearts, features his Vocals. In 1993, he placed a new
recording of the song on his album Up on the Roof: Songs from the Brill
Building.) Also in 1962, his composition "Santa Santa" was recorded by the
Rocky Fellers and released by Scepter Records. But his next career development
involved his own performing. In early 1963, he was signed to a singles deal by
Columbia Records, and on January 24th, his 22nd birthday, had his first solo
recording session, followed by a second session three months later. The results
emerged on July 2 as Columbia single 42809, "Clown Town"/"At Night," his first
solo release. (Both tracks appeared on In My Lifetime.) Unfortunately,
the record flopped, and he was dropped by the label.
Recently married to schoolteacher Jay Posner (with whom he had two daughters),
Diamond kept plugging away, even opening his own tiny office above the jazz club
Birdland in midtown Manhattan. In early 1965, his song "Just Another Guy" was
recorded in the U.K. by Cliff Richard
and placed on the B-side of the number one single "The Minute You're Gone,"
released on the British Columbia label. In February 1965, he met the successful
writers and producers Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, who took an interest in
him and got him signed to songwriter/producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's
Trio Music publishing company for three months. This association was over by the
time Leiber and Stoller had one of their clients, Jay & the Americans, record "Sunday
and Me," a song Diamond had written at Trio. Released as a single in the fall of
1965, the song peaked at number 18 in December, giving him his first real hit as
a songwriter. By then, he had made other progress in his career. On June 25, he
signed a deal with Barry and Greenwich for publishing and recording, the three
forming Tallyrand Music with Diamond as president. (This appears to have
prompted his decision finally to drop out of NYU.) Tallyrand shopped both
Diamond's songs and Diamond as a recording artist, and on January 6, 1966, it
signed a contract with WEB IV, the company controlling the independent Bang
Records label. Soon after, Diamond was back in a recording studio, and on April
4, Bang released his label debut single, "Solitary Man," produced, as all his
subsequent Bang discs would be, by Barry and Greenwich. "Solitary Man" gave him
his first chart entry as a recording artist, peaking at number 55 on the Hot 100
in July. (In 1970, T.G. Sheppard
revived it for a number 14 country hit. Among numerous other covers over the
years, the song has been placed on chart albums by the Sidewinders, Chris Isaak,
and Johnny Cash, appearing as the title
song on Cash's 2000 release American
III: Solitary Man.)
Diamond quickly followed "Solitary Man" with his second Bang single, "Cherry,
Cherry," released in July 1966, which gave him his first substantial hit,
peaking at number six in October. (The many covers of the song include one
quickly cut by the hard rock group the Music Machine for its chart LP [Turn
On] The Music Machine.) The single's B-side, "I'll Come Running," was
covered by Cliff Richard, who
scored a Top 40 hit with it in 1967. When song publisher Don Kirshner heard
"Cherry, Cherry," he called Diamond into his office and asked if the songwriter
had a similarly upbeat tune that could be used by the Monkees, a group put
together for an upcoming TV series. Diamond played him "I'm a Believer," a song
intended for his debut album. Kirshner liked it, and Diamond, Barry, and
Greenwich recorded a backing track that Kirshner took to California and had the
Monkees sing over. By the time "I'm a Believer" was released as the Monkees'
second single in the fall of 1966, the group was a teenybopper phenomenon, and
the disc had advance orders of over one million copies. It shot to number one,
where it stayed seven weeks, becoming the biggest single of 1967. (Among many
covers, "I'm a Believer" appeared on chart albums by the Four Tops and
the Ventures in 1967.
Tommy Overstreet revived it for
a number nine country hit in 1974, the same year Robert Wyatt took it into the
U.K. Top 40. EMF and Reeves and Mortimer hit the British Top Ten with it in
1995. In 2001, it was revived by Smash Mouth in the movie Shrek and
reached number 25 in the U.S.)
Diamond's debut LP, The Feel of Neil Diamond, released in August 1966,
was a rush job, featuring "Cherry, Cherry" and "Solitary Man" along with his
covers of hits like "La Bamba" and "Monday, Monday." It barely charted. Also
featured, however, was "I Got the Feelin' (Oh No No)," an original composition
that would be his next single in October. It reached number 16 in December, but
the 45 was also significant for its Diamond-penned B-side, "The Boat That I Row."
British singer Lulu quickly covered the song, and her version became a Top Ten
U.K. hit in the spring of 1967. Diamond's fourth Bang single, "You Got to Me,"
was released in December 1966 and peaked at number 18 in March 1967. In February,
his song "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" was featured on the Monkees' chart-topping
second album, More of the Monkees. The following month, "A Little Bit Me,
a Little Bit You," the Diamond-penned follow-up to "I'm a Believer," entered the
singles chart for the Monkees; it peaked at number two in April. Also in March,
Bang released its fifth Diamond single, "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon," which
became his second Top Ten hit in May. (Among the many covers of this dark ballad,
the most famous was the one by Urge Overkill, which the band recorded for its
Stull EP, after which it was used in the film Pulp Fiction and
released as a single, reaching number 59 in 1994.) In April,
Ronnie Dove entered the charts with "My
Babe," written and produced for him by Diamond; it peaked at number 50 in May.
Bang's sixth Diamond single, "Thank the Lord for the Night Time," appeared in
June, peaking at number 13 in August. That month saw the release of Diamond's
second LP, Just for You, which peaked at number 80. Diamond's sixth Bang
single, "Kentucky Woman," followed in September, and it reached number 22 in
November, giving him his sixth consecutive Top 40 hit. ("Kentucky Woman" has
proven to be one of Diamond's more versatile songs. Hard rockers Deep Purple
peaked at number 38 with their cover in 1968, while
Randy Barlow revived it for a number
26 country hit in 1977.)
After nearly two years of hit recording and songwriting, Diamond had a falling-out
with his producers and his record label. As popular music turned more serious in
the late '60s, he became less satisfied writing simple pop songs, and, instead
of "Kentucky Woman," he had proposed that his sixth Bang single be "Shilo," an
introspective ballad not about the Civil War battle, but about an imaginary
childhood friend, that he had written and recorded. Bang, thinking the song less
commercial than "Kentucky Woman," used it as an LP track on Just for You
instead, and Diamond, who was also dissatisfied with his royalties, found a
loophole in his contract, which, it turned out, failed to bind him exclusively
to WEB IV and Tallyrand. He therefore declared himself free to sign a recording
contract with another company. Soon, lawsuits were flying. Meanwhile, Bang was
reduced to issuing a cover of Gary
"U.S." Bonds' "New Orleans," previously released on The Feel of Neil
Diamond, as its next Diamond single in December 1967; the disc peaked at
number 51 in February 1968. In March, the label followed with a moody ballad
called "Red Red Wine" culled from Just for You. It peaked at a
disappointing number 62 in April, but the song has had considerable life since.
It was quickly taken up by Jimmy James & the Vagabonds, whose cover was a Top 40
U.K. hit later in 1968. The following year, Jamaican artist Tony Tribe also had
a British chart entry with it. Vic Dana gave it another run on the U.S. pop
charts in 1970, and Roy Drusky reached
the country Top 20 with it in 1971. In 1983, UB40, preparing their Labour of
Love album of reggae covers, recorded a version based on the Tony Tribe
treatment, unaware it had been written by Diamond. Released as a single, this
recording hit number one in the U.K., earning a Top 40 placing in the U.S. in
early 1984. Then, in 1988, the song was re-released after being revived by a
disc jockey and topped the American charts.
On March 12, 1968, a judge denied WEB IV's request for a temporary injunction
preventing Diamond from signing to another record label while his contract
dispute was making their way through the courts. It was a key decision; the
lawsuits would continue for another nine years until Diamond settled them on
February 18, 1977, when he purchased his Bang master recordings. But on March
18, 1968, he signed a five-year contract with Uni Records, a division of the MCA
entertainment company. The first product of the deal was another introspective,
autobiographical ballad, "Brooklyn Roads," released in April. Forced to compete
with "Red Red Wine," released only four weeks earlier, it peaked at number 58 in
June. Diamond followed with the more up-tempo "Two-Bit Manchild" that month, but
neither that single nor its follow-up, "Sunday Sun," which appeared in September,
restored him to the Top 40. It didn't help that Bang chose the same month to
release "Shilo" as a single at last. The disc did not chart, and neither did
Diamond's debut album for Uni, Velvet Gloves and Spit, released in
November. Meanwhile, there was more upheaval in his life. Now romantically
involved with TV production assistant Marcia Kay Murphey, he left his wife and
moved to California. He would be divorced on November 25, 1969, and, on December
5, 1969, marry Murphey, with whom he had two sons. This marriage, too, ended in
divorce in 1996.
Professionally, Diamond tried to stem the tide of his career decline by
recording at American Sound Studio in Memphis, beginning on January 8, 1969.
Working with producers Tommy Cogbill and Chips Moman, he took more of a gospel-tinged,
country-rock approach, starting with the single "Brother Love's Travelling
Salvation Show," quickly released as a single, which peaked at number 22 in
April, his best chart showing in 18 months. (The song didn't attract many cover
versions, although Peggy Lee put it on her
Is That All There Is? album later in the year. But it became very
familiar to Diamond fans as his traditional concert closer.) He quickly returned
to Memphis and cut an album also called Brother Love's Travelling Salvation
Show that was released in April and peaked at number 82. Among the album's
songs was "And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind," which
Elvis Presley cut for his From
Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis LP later in 1969, after which Mark
Lindsay recorded it for a single that reached number 44 in 1970. But the song
that sealed Diamond's commercial comeback was his next single, "Sweet Caroline
(Good Times Never Seemed So Good)," a catchy tune that peaked at number four in
August, the same month it earned a gold record certification for sales of one
million singles. (Starting in February 1971, Uni added the track to issues of
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show, which eventually earned its own
gold record certification for sales of 500,000 LPs.) It also became Diamond's
first single to place on Billboard's Easy Listening (later Adult Contemporary or
AC) chart, where it peaked at number three. Eventually, it earned a platinum
record certification for sales of two million singles. (The song was widely
covered by other artists. In 1970, Anthony Armstrong took it into the Top 40 of
the country charts. In 1972, Bobby Womack took it into the Top 20 of the R&B
charts. And it has appeared on chart albums by Andy Williams,
Bobby Goldsboro,
Elvis Presley,
the Ventures, Ray Conniff,
Boots Randolph, Frank Sinatra, and
Waylon Jennings.) Diamond followed "Sweet
Caroline" with the gospel-tinged "Holly Holy," released in October 1969, and
scored another big hit, the track peaking at number six in December. It was his
second gold (and eventually platinum) single, and the song earned a cover by
Junior Walker & the All-Stars that made the R&B Top 40 in 1971. The Diamond
recording was included in his fifth LP, Touching You Touching Me,
released in November 1969; the disc was his most successful so far, peaking at
number 30 and going gold in a little over a year.
Meanwhile, Diamond's career resurgence was not going unnoticed at his former
label, Bang Records. Heretofore, Bang had contented itself with reissuing its
small catalog of Diamond's recordings, but it now took a more aggressive stance
by having the American Sound Studio musicians record a new musical track for "Shilo"
under Diamond's Vocals to create a sound more like his current records. This
heavily overdubbed version of "Shilo" was released as a single in January 1970,
and it reached number 24 in April. Diamond responded by returning to Memphis
himself and cutting a new recording of "Shilo," which was added to later
editions of Velvet Gloves and Spit. His next single, a cover of Buffy
Sainte-Marie's "Until It's Time for You to Go," which had appeared on
Touching You Touching Me, was released in February and peaked at number 53
in March. A more ambitious effort was "Soolaimón (African Trilogy II)," released
in April, an excerpt from the side-long "folk ballet" of African-styled songs to
be featured on his next album, Tap Root Manuscript, in the fall. The
single reached number 30 in May. It was outpaced, surprisingly, by Bang's re-release
of "Solitary Man," which peaked at number 21 in September. Thankfully, that
redundant product did not slow the success of Diamond's next new single, "Cracklin'
Rosie" (famously referring to the cheap wine Cracklin' Rosé), which was released
in July and became his biggest hit yet, topping the charts in October, when it
was certified as his third gold single. (It eventually went platinum.)
Also released in July 1970 was the live album Gold, which had been
recorded in March at the Troubadour nightclub in Los Angeles. Containing new
versions of "Solitary Man," "Cherry, Cherry," "Kentucky Woman," and "Thank the
Lord for the Night Time," the album was interpreted by some as an attempt to
provide versions of the highlights of the Bang catalog for Diamond's current
label. But it also made the claim for the singer as an exciting live performer,
and it was a major commercial success, peaking at number ten in September and
becoming his first LP to be certified gold. (It has since been certified double
platinum.) As the result of "Cracklin' Rosie" and Gold, by the fall of
1970 Diamond had graduated to the theater and arena circuit as a live act. (He
also broke internationally, as "Cracklin' Rosie" went Top Ten in the U.K.) For
his next single, he made the odd choice of releasing a cover of "He Ain't Heavy,
He's My Brother," a song that had been a Top Ten hit for the Hollies the
previous spring. Competing with Bang's release of the former B-side "Do It," it
still managed to peak at number 20 in December and, along with "Soolaimón" and "Cracklin'
Rosie," served as a good calling card for Tap Root Manuscript, which
appeared in November. Consistent with Diamond's current status, the album peaked
at number 13 and went gold in two months. (It has since been certified platinum.)
Reportedly, Diamond worked months on the lyric of his next single, the
autobiographical "I Am...I Said," released in March 1971. An impassioned
statement of emotional turmoil, the song was very much in tune with the
confessional singer/songwriter movement of the time, and it became a major hit,
peaking at number four in May, with even its B-side, "Done Too Soon" (previously
released on Tap Root Manuscript), earning a chart placing. "I Am...I Said"
earned Diamond his first Grammy nomination, for Best Pop Vocals Performance,
Male. (Personal as the song may have seemed, Bill Phillips covered it for a
country chart entry in 1972.) Diamond did not have another new release for seven
months, although Bang once again presented one of its overdubbed efforts when it
released an altered version of "I'm a Believer" in May and saw it reach number
51. Finally, Diamond returned to the record racks in the fall with the ballad
"Stones," released in October, followed by an album of the same name in November.
The single reached number 14, while the LP stopped just short of the Top Ten and
went gold in two months.
Diamond's next album, Moods, was prefaced by another of his standards.
"Song Sung Blue," released in April 1972, became his second number one hit on
the Hot 100 in July, also becoming his fourth gold single and earning Grammy
nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. As a song, it was
covered by many artists, quickly recorded on chart albums by Vikki Carr, Ray
Conniff, Percy Faith, Johnny Mathis (the LP itself called Song Sung Blue),
Wayne Newton, Bobby Vinton, Andy Williams,
Cal Smith, and Frank Sinatra. Moods, which followed in June, peaked
at number five in September, a new high for Diamond, and went gold in two months.
(It later went platinum.) Its success, which included a Grammy nomination for
Album of the Year, was augmented by the subsequent release of the singles "Play
Me" (number 11 in October) and "Walk on Water" (number 17 in December). In
August, Diamond performed ten shows at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles,
recording them for a live album. The double-LP set Hot August Night,
which appeared in November, cemented his status as a concert attraction by
hitting number five and going gold in a month. (It was later certified double
platinum.) A single of "Cherry, Cherry" was excerpted from the release and made
number 31.
Hot August Night marked Diamond's ascension to superstar status, and it
also marked the end of a phase of his career. After three weeks of shows at the
Winter Garden on Broadway in October, he temporarily retired from live
performing. At the same time, he had completed his recording contract, and he
signed a new, lucrative one with Columbia Records. His first project for the new
label was a song score for the film version of the best-selling novel Jonathan
Livingston Seagull. It was a troubled project, and by the time the movie was
released in October 1973, both Diamond and Richard Bach, the book's author, were
suing the film producer. Reviews were awful, and the picture bombed. But
Diamond's score, released as a solo album by him, was a hit. The single "Be"
only grazed the Top 40, yet the LP reached number two in December, having gone
gold upon release. (It has since gone double platinum.) It also won Diamond the
1973 Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture
or TV Special. "Skybird," the second single drawn from the LP, made the charts
and was covered by Dawn for another chart single in 1975.
Even after completing Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Diamond continued to
stay off the road. He was next heard from in the fall of 1974, when he released
his first regular album for Columbia, Serenade, prefaced by the single
"Longfellow Serenade," which was his biggest hit since "Song Sung Blue," peaking
at number five on the Hot 100 and number one on the AC chart in November.
Serenade hit number three in December, another instant gold album that has
since gone platinum. Follow-up single "I've Been This Way Before" barely made
the Top 40 on the pop chart, but topped the AC chart, a good example of the
increasing dichotomy between the success of Diamond's 45s on the two charts. (A
third single, "The Last Picasso," went Top Ten AC but missed the Hot 100
entirely.)
Another year went by before Diamond finally returned to live work, doing a few
shakedown shows in California and Utah in late January and early February 1976
before launching a tour of Australia and New Zealand, followed by more dates in
the U.S. in the spring. Meanwhile, working with Malibu, CA, neighbor Robbie
Robertson of the Band as his producer, he had finished a new album, Beautiful
Noise, its songs reflecting back on his early-'60s days in Tin Pan Alley.
Leadoff single "If You Know What I Mean," issued in June, reached number 11 on
the Hot 100 and number one on the AC chart. The album, which followed a couple
of weeks later, hit number four, as usual going gold on release, with one of the
newly introduced platinum certifications following in September. Follow-up
singles "Don't Think … Feel" and "Beautiful Noise" went Top Ten AC. On July 1,
1976, for a hefty fee, Diamond made his Las Vegas debut at the Aladdin Hotel,
though he would avoid the entertainment mecca afterward until well into the
1990s. In September, he returned to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, this time
with both cameras and recording equipment in tow. On November 25, 1976, he
appeared as one of the special guests at the Band's farewell concert at
Winterland in San Francisco, performing the Beautiful Noise track "Dry
Your Eyes," which he had co-written with Robertson. The show was filmed and
recorded for the 1978 movie and triple-LP set The Last Waltz.
Both of Diamond's albums of 1977 were associated with television specials. First
came Love at the Greek, like Hot August Night a two-LP concert set
drawn from shows at the Greek Theatre. It appeared in February 1977, two weeks
ahead of The Neil Diamond Special, broadcast February 21. The LP reached
number eight in April, selling a million copies by July, with another million
registered since. Diamond undertook a lengthy tour of Europe in the spring and
summer. While he was now writing almost exclusively for himself, one of his cast-offs,
a song called "Sunflower," was recorded by
Glen Campbell, who took it into the country Top Ten and the pop Top 40 in
August. In November, Diamond was back with a new studio album, I'm Glad
You're Here with Me Tonight, again tied into a TV special. The
simultaneously released single "Desirée" went Top 20 pop and number one AC,
while the album reached number six in February 1978, racking up the usual sales
number of a million copies with another million to come. Interestingly, Columbia
released the title song as a second single that missed the charts entirely,
while ignoring both "Let Me Take You in My Arms Again," which James Darren
recorded for a country chart entry, and a sad breakup ballad called "You Don't
Bring Me Flowers" that Diamond had written for a television pilot about reversed
sex roles (hence the novelty of having a man complain about romantic neglect in
terms usually used by a woman). Labelmate Barbra Streisand, however, knew a big
ballad when she heard one, especially one co-written by her personal lyricists,
Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and she quickly covered the song, which appeared on
her Songbird album in May 1978. A disc jockey, realizing that both
Diamond's and Streisand's versions were in the same key, spliced them together
and began playing on the air the duo he had created, leading to requests for a
record. On October 17, 1978, that desire was satisfied, as the two singers cut a
new recording of the song. Credited to "Barbra & Neil," the single was quickly
released and soared to number one on the pop charts, eventually earning a
platinum certification. (Grammy nominations for 1978 Song of the Year and 1979
Record of the Year followed. Of course, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" quickly
became a standard. Jim Ed Brown and
Helen Cornelius cut it for the
country market and enjoyed a Top Ten hit.)
Diamond had been working on an album to be titled after a tune called "The
American Popular Song," written by his pianist, Tom Hensley; the LP was to be a
collection of covers. The unexpected success of the duo upset these plans,
however, and Diamond quickly cobbled together an album for release under the
title You Don't Bring Me Flowers, which appeared in November. By the end
of January, it peaked at number four, having been certified platinum, with a
double platinum award to follow. In February, Columbia released another single
from it, the up-tempo "Forever in Blue Jeans" (co-written by Richard Bennett),
which reached the Top 20. "Say Maybe," following in April, was less successful
though, as usual, it reached the Top Ten of the AC chart. (Meanwhile, in
December 1978, Diamond made another of his rare forays into the movies,
contributing the song "I Seek the Night" to the soundtrack of the
Clint Eastwood film Every Which
Way But Loose, where it was sung by Sondra Locke.)
Diamond collaborated with French singer/songwriter Gilbert Bécaud on the title
track of his next album, September Morn, released in December 1979. The
single reached the Top 20 of the pop chart, and the album peaked at number ten
in February 1980, selling a little more slowly than previous releases, though it
was platinum by May and has since sold another million copies. Any thought that
Diamond's popularity might be cooling, however, was belied by his next project.
Almost without acting experience, he had nevertheless agreed to star in a second
screen remake of The Jazz Singer. The response was very similar to what
had greeted Jonathan Livingston Seagull seven years earlier, except that
this time Diamond was actually in the picture. Upon release in December 1980, it
was panned by critics and became a box office failure. But the Capitol Records
soundtrack album, consisting of a Diamond-written and performed song score, was
a remarkable hit. "Love on the Rocks" (co-written with Bécaud) came out in
advance of the LP, and it peaked at number two in January 1981, held out of the
number one spot by the recently murdered John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting
Over." By February, the album was up to number three, having already sold a
million copies. "Hello Again" (co-written by Alan Lindgren of Diamond's band),
the second single, reached number six in March, and the anthemic "America"
peaked at number eight (number one AC) in June as the album kept selling. (Eventually,
it was certified for sales of five million copies, making it Diamond's most
successful LP. It earned him another Grammy nomination in the category of Best
Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or TV Special.)
Diamond picked a good time to reach a career peak: His record contract was up
for renewal, and he re-signed to Columbia Records in October 1981 committing
himself to ten more albums at a guarantee of 30 million dollars. It was, briefly,
the most lucrative record contract in history. At the same time, of course, he
had a new Columbia album ready, On the Way to the Sky, advanced by the
single "Yesterday's Songs," which topped the AC chart and reached number 11 in
the pop chart. The album, however, became his first in ten years to miss the Top
Ten, peaking at number 17. The title track, co-written with Carole Bayer Sager,
failed to chart as a 45, but a third single, "Be Mine Tonight," made the Top 40.
Having worked with Bayer Sager, Diamond now turned to collaborating with both
her and her then-husband, Burt Bacharach, a fellow graduate of the Brill
Building era, on his next album, Heartlight. The title song, written by
the three and inspired by the recently released movie E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,
emerged in August 1982 as a single that hit number one in the AC chart and
returned Diamond to the pop Top Ten, peaking at number five in November. That
helped the album to a number nine peak the same month, and by the end of the
year it had become his eighth consecutive new album to be certified platinum.
Second single "I'm Alive" (co-written by Diamond and writer/producer David
Foster) reached the Top 40, and a third single, "Front Page Story" (another
Bacharach/Bayer Sager/Diamond composition), also charted.
Diamond was relatively inactive on the performing front in 1983, though he did
undertake a week-long series of shows at the Forum in Los Angeles in June, his
first L.A. shows in six years. He was, of course, writing, again collaborating
with Bacharach and Bayer Sager, and recording, and on February 6, 1984, he
submitted a new album to Columbia. The label asked him to make changes and,
citing the artistic control mandated in his contract, he sued to have the LP
released as it was. In April, however, he withdrew his suit and revised the disc
to the record company's requirements. After completing the new version, he
accepted a 500,000-dollar fee for performing three shows at Harrah's Trump Plaza
in Atlantic City, NJ, in June, then undertook a European tour, followed by an
American tour. Columbia released the new album, Primitive, in July, along
with the first single, "Turn Around" (co-written by Diamond, Bacharach, and
Bayer Sager). Notwithstanding the label's attempt to enhance the commerciality
of the disc, it was a disappointing seller. "Turn Around" lodged in the AC Top
Ten, but missed the pop Top 40, and Primitive peaked at number 35 and
only went gold, the worst showing for a new Neil Diamond album since 1969. Two
follow-up singles only made the lower reaches of the AC chart.
Diamond reacted by working up what was intended to be one of his most personal
albums, as indicated by its proposed title, The Story of My Life. He
submitted the collection to Columbia in September 1985, and for the second time
in a row had an album rejected by the label. This time, he did not protest
publicly. Instead, he accepted Columbia's suggestions that he try to take a more
contemporary approach by, for example, working with Maurice White of Earth, Wind
& Fire, recording a song written by currently popular rocker Bryan Adams, and
using such guest stars as Stevie Wonder (who also co-wrote a song). Eventually,
every song on the album except the former title track, "The Story of My Life,"
was replaced. To further promote the upcoming release, now titled Headed for
the Future, in January 1986 Diamond taped a new television special, Hello
Again, for CBS, then the parent company of Columbia Records. The special was
broadcast May 25, two and a half weeks after the release of Headed for the
Future, which itself had been prefaced by the release of the title song (written
by Diamond, Hensley, and Lindgren) as a single in late April. The effort to
modernize Diamond succeeded only slightly. The album peaked at number 20, an
improvement over Primitive, but like its predecessor, the album only went
gold. The single missed the Top 40, and a second single, "The Story of My Life,"
got to only number 11 AC.
But if his record sales were disappointing, Diamond's concert tours remained SRO.
An eight-night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York was followed by 14
shows back at the Greek Theatre in August, commemorated by Columbia with another
double-LP live album, Hot August Night II, released in October 1987. The
album, however, peaked at a disappointing number 59 and didn't even go gold at
first (though it has since gone platinum). (Appended was a studio recording of
"I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les Misérables, which got to number 13 on
the AC chart.)
Diamond's main collaborator for his next studio album, The Best Years of Our
Lives, was David Foster, who produced it and co-wrote several of the tracks.
Released in December 1988 to coincide with an HBO special, the album peaked at
number 46 and went gold, with three of its tracks making the AC chart. Much the
same response greeted Diamond's next studio album, Lovescape, produced by
Peter Asher (the famed producer of James Taylor and
Linda Ronstadt, who began to work with
Diamond regularly), when it appeared in August 1991. It peaked at number 44 and
spawned three AC chart entries, while taking almost three years to go gold.
Meanwhile, however, Diamond remained a major force on the concert circuit,
taking his Love in the Round tour around the country and around the world. In
1992, for example, he was said to be the second-highest grossing American
concert act of the year. Given this continuing appeal, he and Columbia hit upon
a new strategy for his record releases. For the time being, they suspended the
usual practice of having him simply write and record a new studio album every
year or two. Instead, they embarked on a series of special releases that focused
on his status as a veteran singer. The Greatest Hits (1966-1992),
released in June 1992, was a double CD spanning the Bang era and the Columbia
hits, with the Uni material represented by recent live recordings; by 2000, it
had gone triple platinum. In September 1992, Diamond released his first seasonal
collection, The Christmas Album, and promoted it with Neil Diamond's
Christmas Special on HBO. The album peaked at number eight in December, his
first Top Ten LP in ten years. Within a year, it was platinum, with another
million registered by 2001.
In January 1993, Diamond again re-signed to Columbia for an additional six
albums. The first of these, released in September, was Up on the Roof: Songs
from the Brill Building, his treatments of early-'60s evergreens like the
title song and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." It hit number 28 and went
gold. Meanwhile, the singer continued to tour extensively, his grosses for the
year exceeded only by U2. That success was reflected by yet another concert
recording, Live in America, a double CD issued in June 1994 that peaked
at number 93 and eventually went gold. The fall brought The Christmas Album,
Vol. 2, only two years after its successful predecessor; it peaked at number
51 and quickly went gold. (Also in the fall of 1994, Diamond participated in the
Frank Sinatra album duos II, singing "The House I Live In" with the
venerable star.)
During 1995, Diamond finally got to work on an album of newly written material,
but there was a twist. The man whose songs had sometimes been turned into
country hits went to Nashville and held songwriting sessions with country
writers, also recording with country stars. The result was Tennessee Moon,
released in February 1996, along with a TV special, Under a Tennessee Moon,
broadcast on ABC. The album peaked at number three in the country charts and
number 14 in the pop charts and went gold. Next, Columbia released In My
Lifetime, a three-CD box set retrospective, in October 1996, including Bang,
Uni, and Columbia hits, along with demos and other rarities and unreleased
material. The album charted, a relative rarity for box sets, and went gold.
Diamond continued to make events out of his album releases. In October 1998, he
issued The Movie Album: As Time Goes By, a two-disc collection of covers
of movie songs like "Moon River" and "Unchained Melody." It reached number 31
and went gold, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocals
Performance. As usual, Diamond embarked on a world tour to support it. And as
usual, his fans came out. Even during a decade when he retreated from the
frontline of recording artists, the singer's live following, if anything,
increased. He was named the top solo concert artist of the 1990s by Amusement
Business magazine.
Diamond's appeal to audiences was reflected humorously in the film Saving
Silverman, featuring a self-spoofing appearance by the singer, which opened
in February 2001. More seriously, he finally wrote and recorded a new studio
album, Three Chord Opera, released in July 2001. In fact, he did all the
writing entirely by himself, the first time he hadn't collaborated with anyone
since Serenade in 1974, which gave Columbia a promotional tag to bill the
album as another "event" release. Considered as his first regular studio album
since Lovescape in 1991, the disc was Diamond's highest-charting release
of this sort since Heartlight in 1982, peaking at number 15 and quickly
going gold. In December 2001, Columbia's Legacy division released The
Essential Neil Diamond, a new two-CD retrospective, and by 2005 it was a
platinum seller. The fall of 2003 brought a massive five-CD/one-DVD set,
Stages: Performances 1970-2002, which sold well enough to spend a couple of
weeks in the chart as Diamond undertook yet another lengthy tour. In 2004, he
began working with renowned producer Rick Rubin, a longtime fan who had produced
Johnny Cash's 1990s comeback albums,
including American III: Solitary Man. Before releasing the result of
their collaboration, the 2005 album 12 Songs, he embarked on another
world tour. 12 Songs was issued on November 8, 2005, to a chorus of
positive reviews. It entered the chart at number four, Diamond's highest chart
placing in 25 years, but its longer-term success was short-circuited because of
Columbia's decision to include anti-copying software on the CDs. The software
was thought to damage personal computers, and many of the discs had to be
recalled, hurting Diamond's sales, although the album was certified gold. In
2006, Diamond made another movie cameo, singing "Hava Nagilah" in the film
comedy Keeping Up with the Steins, and he returned the recording studio
with producer Rick Rubin for 2008's Home Before
Dark. Released May 6, 2008, Home Before
Dark entered the Billboard chart at number one for the week ending May 24,
2008, Diamond's
first-ever chart-topping album. A holiday release, A Cherry Cherry Christmas,
appeared in 2009. In 2010 Diamond released Dreams, a covers collection featuring
songs by some of his favorite songwriters of the rock and soul era.
In 2011 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New
York City, and by the end of summer 2012 his legacy had been further cemented
with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Prestigious television appearances
ensued in the form of a headline slot on December 2012's centenary edition of
the U.K.'s Royal Variety Performance, before Independence Day 2013 found Diamond on
a bill at the U.S. Capitol's A Capitol Fourth concert. After a 40-year
relationship with Columbia, it Diamond signed a recording contract with Capitol.
This resulted in the whole of his catalog -- incorporating his MCA, Columbia,
and Bang material -- being assembled under the umbrella of Universal Music
Group, Capitol's owners. Even bigger news was the announcement of Melody Road,
his first album for Capitol. Produced by Don Was and Jacknife Lee, it appeared
in October 2014 and debuted at three on Billboard's Top 200. Diamond reunited
with the pair of Was and Lee for 2016's holiday-themed Acoustic Christmas. Early
in 2017, Diamond celebrated the 50th anniversary of his first hit by releasing
the triple-disc compilation 50 and
launching a massive world tour. Latter portions of this same tour were cancelled
after Diamond revealed in January 2018 that he had been diagnosed with
Parkinson's Disease and would be retiring from live performing. Digging into the
vault, he released Hot August Night III, a 2012 concert captured at Los Angeles'
Greek Theatre, later that year. Although no longer performing live, Diamond returned
to the studio for 2020's Classic
Diamonds, which saw him reinterpreting songs from his catalog backed by the London
Symphony Orchestra.
