I can’t believe you’ve never heard this. It’s probably one of the most known songs of all time.

If your 50 it's impossible to not know this song....but I dont expect younger one's to know

[@joncorrellattorney]

If your old like us. She isn't.

[@phillyphan1225]

My kids are 37, 27 and 25..we were just at my nieces (their cousins wedding) and every person in their 20’s and 30’s jumped up to sing and dance-this is a song it seems every age knows. Live version isn’t a great introduction if this is the first time hearing.

[@kdmcallister3537]

@@Phil11390 LOL!! Bullseye 🎯

[@dagmar.6954]

One of my favorite singer songwriters spanning many decades. I had so many of his records. He had tons of hit songs. "I Am, I Said", "Cherry, Cherry", "Kentucky Woman", "Red Red Wine", "Solitary Man", "Shiloh", "Holly Holy", "Cracklin' Rosie", "Song Sung Blue", "Longfellow Serenade", "Desirée", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". He wrote the song "I'm A Believer" which became a big hit for the Monkees in 1966. I was privileged to see him in concert twice. He was a great showman & his live performances were memorable.

[@jodonnell64]

You forgot "Forever in Blue Jeans". UB40 had a major hit in the mid-1980's covering Neil's "Red Red Wine".

[@justanoldmansopinion]

YES to all the above listed songs.... I think "Solitary Man" was his first big hit... You should give it a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZDGg55smcSgj6s

[@donnasheraden3881]

Richard Bennett helped write Forever in Blue Jeans.

Listen to the Hot August Night rendition of And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind===beautiful!!!

[@JennyJohn50]

Neil Diamond is pretty damn awesome. Another song of his that I find really moving is; I Am I Said. Thanks for the great reaction! And yes, there is something very calming about him & his music.

[@roncypert8255]

I’ve always loved I Am I Said better than Sweet Caroline…. Just me, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ I also love one of his earliest hits, Solitary Man, released in 1966.

Hello Jenny

[@katrinacash6393]

Neil has written so many great songs. He's sold more than 130 million records worldwide and 10 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, and he received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. In 2011, he was an honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors, and he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. I have been listening to him since the 1960's. He's got a powerful voice and he sings with such emotion. I'm so glad that you ended up reacting to him!

[@harriso-gl4be]

Hello Katrina

[@Rally825]

"Sweet Caroline" is probably in the top two bar and Karaoke songs of all time along with Billy Joel's "Piano Man." Thanks for another great review!

[@barbarawayland2424]

When he toured his live shows were so amazing, such a first class entertainer!!

[@Ozzcaddy]

In January 2015, Neil Diamond talked about writing Sweet Caroline. Neil Diamond held onto the secret for decades, but he has finally revealed that President Kennedy's daughter was the inspiration for his smash hit "Sweet Caroline." "I've never discussed it with anybody before - intentionally," the 66-year-old singer-songwriter told The Associated Press on Monday during a break from recording. "I thought maybe I would tell it to Caroline when I met her someday." He got his chance last week when he performed the song via satellite at Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's 50th birthday party. Diamond was a "young, broke songwriter" when a photo of the president's daughter in a news magazine caught his eye. "It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony," Diamond recalled. "It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there." Years later, holed up in a hotel in Memphis, he would write the words and music in less an hour. "It was a No. 1 record and probably is the biggest, most important song of my career, and I have to thank her for the inspiration," he said. "I'm happy to have gotten it off my chest and to have expressed it to Caroline. I thought she might be embarrassed, but she seemed to be struck by it and really, really happy." The enduring hit recently reappeared on the singles chart, thanks in part to the Boston Red Sox. "Sweet Caroline" is played at every home game. "I think they consider it good luck," Diamond said, adding that the Red Sox have become his favorite baseball team. The tune's return to the charts leaves Diamond "speechless," he said: "That song was written 40 years ago, so I am just overwhelmed by the fact that it has returned and that, more importantly, people have taken it into their hearts for so many years." Move on to July 2022, Caroline Kennedy took up her position as US Ambassador to Australia. Yesterday (Sun 27th) in Sydney, Caroline Kennedy and her family were at the first home game match of the 2023 Australian Football League (AFL) for the Sydney Swans played at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). During the first of 4 breaks in the game, the ground announcer played Sweet Caroline, and Caroline Kennedy dressed in Sydney Swans colours (red & white), acknowledge the song and the crowd and was waving her arms in tune with the song.

[@kylebeckley194]

My dad had many niel diamond albums, vinyl, and I wanted this man's voice smooth and powerful still my favorite artist.

[@rhondadananay2106]

He writes most of the songs he sings and he wants you to get his message. Ahhhhmazing singer,songwriter and actor!🔥❤️💎

[@clydeb7713]

Neil gave one of the GREATEST live shows! No auto tune or computer BS, just raw talent! Parkinson's ended his career.

[@greendragonpublishing]

A classic, and whenever that chorus is sung, the audience sings it back. He has so many iconic hits! Others to check out: Song Sung Blue, America, Heartlight (made for the ET movie)

[@harriso-gl4be]

Hello green

[@mellycook]

Love Neil! The sweet Caroline chorus gets sung back to/with him when he does it live.

[@gregleighton6172]

Neil Diamonds "Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show" should be your next reaction to him. He has so many great songs.

[@wendyryder2708]

YESS! Definitely! My favourite!

[@firebugjohnnypyro]

Two things: David Spade did a great lip sync to this in the movie Lost And Found. And Second: I wrote a parody to this song about OJ Simpson back in the day. Here it is. 🤣 "Bloody Glove Proves O.J.'s Guilty You Know" Hot Brentwood night, a fog hazing the town, And a dog barks around in the street. Blood on the walk, coming from Nicole Brown, And Ron Goldman lays dead at her feet. Kato heard a noise. Just what could it be? Furman found a glove. It was all bloody. The glove, glove, Bloody glove proves O.J.'s guilty you know. Paid off the jury, To forego his fury, Everyone knows, He killed Nicole, The bloody glove showed. Courtroom gets still, Kato walks to the stand, Raises up his right hand, he is dim. The biggest role, his career ever faced, Every camera is placed right on him. Questioned of the noise. Thought it an earthquake. Let his girlfriend go, as the back wall shaked. The glove, glove, Bloody glove proves O.J.'s guilty you know. Paid off the jury, To forego his fury, Everyone knows, He killed Nicole, The bloody glove showed. We can't understand, O.J. walked that day. but in our hearts we know, he will pay someday. Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty The glove, glove, Bloody glove proves O.J.'s guilty you know. Paid off the jury, To forego his fury, Everyone knows, He killed Nicole, The bloody glove showed.

[@iancremmins4727]

Neil one of my all time favourites

[@pamagnolia]

Neil Diamond is one of my favorite artists. Tons of beautiful songs!! He’s fantastic!! Worth listening to more of his work. 😊

[@lisar.6670]

Yes! ... Yes he does have gorgeous eyes. This performance was recorded in England on the BBC in 1971. "Sweet Caroline" was just one of Neil's signature songs that he could never get away with NOT doing at any LIVE show. BTW .. the part that you like .. In the 80's, Neil started including his audiences to join in singing the song with him. When they got to that part in the chorus, the audience sang back 🎶bah! bah! bah! ... Good times never seem so good .. So good! So good! 🎶. I've seen the man LIVE 22 times in Seattle, WA. The first time was in 1981 and I was 17. In 1985, I had just returned from Alaska supervising a fish processor's off-loading deck in the middle of the Behring Sea. I have what I called the 'Neil Diamond time clock' .. a instinct I always got when a new album was coming out before it was announced or when he was about ready to tour. Both events was usually about every 3 years. Anyway, Neil was due for a tour in '85. He was the first and ONLY pop-star to sellout more than 2 nights at the Seattle Center Coliseum {before it was renamed Key Arena}. Neil sold 5 nights in a matter of just a few short hours. Unfortunately his father Kiev had passed away at the time. Neil and his son Jesse flew home for the services and returned to Seattle in time for opening night. He assured his fans that he was not going to cancel any shows and he didn't. So I went opening and closing night. The last time I saw him LIVE was July 26, 2017. He looked tired and fatigued. He moved quite slow on stage. Almost to the point of caution. 6 months and 3 days before his birthday in 2018, Neil had announced his sudden retirement from LIVE performances due to a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. He is sorely missed. Neil is a class act and I wish him well.

[@Luke17-10ministry]

You haven't heard this song sung properly until you've heard it performed by a stadium full of sports fans.

[@glennseaman5402]

Or in a bar.

[@tarak7843]

Yes!!!!

[@terrimobley6067]

Especially in Ireland!!

[@martypringle9201]

Disagree...nothing ruins this song more than a crowd of out-of-pitch morons drunkenly adding ;so good..so good.' Stop it. Y'all can't sing and the world is not all about you, despite what you think.

[@kenmcl80]

You need to play this in a bar! Everyone sings the chorus!!

[@l.t.6180]

Great review of a song the world sings along with. One of the greatest singer-songwriters in music history! This man sold more than 130 million albums worldwide, sold out huge arenas and stadiums around the world, breaking attendance records wherever he performed, received numerous awards and has one of the most distinctive pop/rock voices around. And his phrasing is impeccable: you can actually understand every word he's singing. Add to that tons of charisma on stage and you have a legend. Please review other Neil Diamond songs, he has dozens of great songs to choose from: Holly Holy, Brooklyn Roads, Soolaimon, Stones, Solitary Man, I Am... I Said, America, Beautiful Noise, Dry Your Eyes... The list is endless.

[@donaldcoffey800]

Neil is so suave and cool, the coolist!

First time I heard Neil Diamond was on 8 track tape and I was 10, I have been a fan ever since, deep well of great music.

This song has become a national anthem of sorts. People sing this at sporting events,at train stops in bars…anywhere people. Gather to have fun!

Neil Diamond has a very distinct voice and it's just so beautiful. I've seen him in concert twice and they were amazing concerts. He starred in a movie called 'The Jazz Singer' with Luci Arnaz. Wonderful movie and great music.

[@jamesdagenais6494]

I was a teen in the 70s and Neil was one of my favorites. He's got a lot of great hits to check out like : Holly Holy, Beautiful Noise, September Morn., Longfellow Serenade, Desiree, A little bit of something blue. And many more

He wrote this song for Caroline Kennedy. After years of avoiding the question he fessed up. Also the Boston Red Sox play this at the 7th inning stretch home games.

[@deirdrelewis1454]

He was iconic as a singer/songwriter. My favourite is Beautiful Noise.

[@brucedillinger9448]

Saw Neil in concert back in the late 70's/early 80's. At the 3 hour mark left the show...had to work early the next morning. Should have stayed. ✌

[@Paladin70]

I managed a couple airport stores for a time and one evening Neil came into one of the stores before catching his flight. The supervisor on duty that evening was a lady in her 70s who was like everyone’s grandma, very outgoing and would chat up every customer who walked in. Well, she recognized Neil and, as it turned out, she actually talked him into singing this song before leaving the store. He has a huge songbook that you should definitely explore. Pick any song, you can’t go wrong.

[@danaberman6929]

I saw him in concert in 2007. It was a great concert. He has so many great songs...

[@SafferPOV]

Hot August Night was a phenomenal double album. He started out as a songwriter and apparently wrote one of his first hits on a serviette in a coffee shop

[@pvdogs2]

I have seen 2 of his concerts and he never disappoints. Love, love, love his music!!

[@lisaldeene]

Classic Neil Diamond! He's one of a kind - Masterful writer and singer!

Anytime the family had to take a road trip, my dad would play Neil Diamond. I know every note from Hot August Nights. Every crowd yell or whistle. TREE PEOPLE!

Listen to Neil sing this in concert! Madison Square Garden…The Greek Theatre. You will hear that bah,bah,bah from thousands of adoring fans!

[@loneranger668]

Britt: Your right. There is something about the way N.D. would sing. Went to several of his concerts and not once was I ever disappointed. One of the few artist that gave you your moneys worth!

[@jeannettestogner5164]

Only the greatest singer/songwriter EVER!! I was fortunate enough to see him live in concert twice - in 1976 and in 2017. Please believe me when I tell you that his voice was as rich, full, and strong in 2017 as it had been 41 years before in 1976. And he was still playing to huge sold-out audiences! And as I recall, the concerts were each over 2 hours long, with only one brief intermission. Neil write almost all of his songs. You should listen to Play Me, I Am...I Said, Hello Again - the list is endless!! The more you listen to that amazing voice, the more you'll want to hear! Neil Diamond is a legend!! 💎❤

[@aletmartins6940]

I love when he says So Good and the crowd yells/echoes SO GOOD - not on this one, but at concerts. In an interview he said his LA house backed up against Elvis’s (when EP was doing movies), so these two amazing artists were neighbors.

[@davidcohen7146]

Britt- Way behind on just discovering Neil Diamond. An absolute Genius and one of the all time greats. A great singer and song writer. He wrote all his stuff. Sweet Caroline continues to be one of the best songs ever and they play it a lot at sporting events. Try his songs Cracklin Rose and Solitary man. You will enjoy them as well. Elvis also did a live version of Sweet Caroline.

After the Boston Marathon bombing, he showed up for the first Red Sox game to sing this. It has been a standard at Red Sox games since the late 70s, for the "7th inning stretch" and him showing up to sing this with the crowd was AWE-INSPIRING.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Neil Diamond is an American Classic...songwriter, performer, wrote many songs for others as well. It's Deep rabbit hole you MUST go down. His songs range from feel good to deep melancholy. This song was a big hit from 1969!!! This is live, no auto tune or computers but real humans in an orchestra, band and back up singers.

He's great 👍. And he's got many, many songs.

[@reneeeiier4818]

I am so glad you found a video from his heyday, rather than one from more current times. Neil just had such a sultry, sexiness, along with his fantastic voice. Incidentally, he was a songwriter first, one of which is I'm a Believer, first recorded by The Monkees, but later covered by Smash Mouth in your generation.

I really love this song as I do with virtually all of Neil Diamond's songs he's written a ton of them, but of all his songs my absolute favorite there's a song called I am I said. And of course I really love his song I think it come out in the 80s America. In between he's probably written about 40 or 50 other great songs but these three are the ones I like the most call though he's got others that I really love. Once you listen to the song I am I said you'll understand why I love it so much it touches a place deep inside that up times when I felt empty inside almost felt soulless at times.

Another beautiful Song Neil Diamond wrote is "Where the Grass Won't Pay no Mind" that man can write besutiful songs and Elvis sings it beautifully, Neil may have wrote it but in my opinion Elvis sings it best maybe react to both versions and see what version you like best you will not regret it. Also try Elvis Pocketful of Rainbows movie version video from the movie GI Blues the whole soundtrack of GI Blues is great to listen to. Power of my Love by Elvis, unfortunately no live version but it's 🔥 so many I can't name them all but I hope you keep finding hidden gems of not just Elvis but many greats...one more I Only have Eyes For you from the Flamangos studio version, the live version sound dies not do it justice

A classic. Neil was also really cool in the movie "Saving Silverman". Some great songs of his in there. This song is still going strong... also very big on cruise ships at piano bars. When this song comes on everybody joins in the chorus.

At Fenway Park during every game the crowd gets up and sings this, been a while since I've been to Fenway, but during the 7th inning stretch if I recall right. They get into it too as it is a Fenway tradition. Best place in the world to see a ballgame. Well, at least when they had a pro team playing there (eyeroll).

Neil is so poetic in his delivery here. He is iconic. Anyone who has attended a football or basketball game the past 5 years has the chorus of this song embedded in their brain. I really like Elvis Presley's more fast paced cover from 1970.

As mentioned by others, the odds of hearing this song at a ball game are extremely high... It is a certified crowd pleaser, and gets them into the experience...

Listen to the rendition of this song by Neil at the Glastonbury Festival of 2008. That's something else to listen to, about 125,000 people singing Sweet Caroline together!!!

He oozes with emotion!❤ Been a fan since 1969

The very first concert I attended was a Neil Diamond concert in San Diego ca. It was In 1972. I was in love with his music, but he was so personable on stage also. His songs reflect his personality. My most memorable concert. You must have never been to or wa

[@legslark]

Watched a Boston Red Sox game, they play this song in during the seventh inning stretch, at every home game, and everyone sings along!😊🤘

The song reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week ending August 16, 1969, and was certified gold by the RIAA on August 18, 1969, for sales of one million singles. "Sweet Caroline" was also the first of fifty-eight entries on the US Easy Listening chart, peaking at No. 3.

Ah Neil and those dripping words! Good stuff...and good job Britt on the way you "dripped" out that long "Caroline" at the end.
