Neil Diamond

Neil Leslie Diamond (born on January 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter. As a successful pop music performer, Diamond scored a number of hits worldwide in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. According to David Wild, common themes in Diamond's songs are "a deep sense of isolation and an equal desire for connection. A yearning for home -- and at the same time, the allure of greater freedom. The good, the bad and the ugly about a crazy little thing called love."

As of 2001 Diamond has 115 million records sold worldwide, including 48 million records in the U.S. In terms of Billboard chart success, he is the third most successful Adult Contemporary artist ever, ranking behind only Barbra Streisand and Elton John.

Though his record sales declined somewhat after the 1980s, Diamond continues to tour successfully, and maintains a very loyal following. Diamond's songs have been recorded by a vast array of performers from many different musical genres.

Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, in 2000 received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award, and will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. ~SOURCE: Wikipedia

Hard to "Cherry Pick" the best of Neil Diamond's 1976 "Thank You Australia Concert" but this has to be a "Real, Plum" of a Cherry.

Now Neil is so Gorgeous and Sexy here in this video just the way he moves on stage. And plays his guitar sends shivers up and down my spine. I've Loved this guy since the 70's and yes he looks hot in those leather pants, but who cares what he's wearing , he could ware his underpants on stage and dance like that. Thanks for this video. I would be happy looking at him wearing anything as long as it's him... Because he makes me happy ....

Well you were such a lucky guy, me not that lucky, he has been my all time favourite singer of the 70's and 80's. Of course I still have Hot August Night Album, I must have heard a million times , but who cares I loved him and I love today, I can still hear my dad's voice, God bless him he no longer with me today. He was telling "to put that music down", but of course I didn't I was a love struck teenager because I was in Love him. That Love has lasted about 35 years, thanks for this video ...
