There are so many good singers who helped us survive the 70's and 80's. It's just difficult to say who is the greatest of all times. What we do know is that their music touched our heads and hearts long before our feet reacted. As for Neil Diamond I was but a child in the 70's just over 6 when this song was rotating. But I have gone back to rediscover some of his songs and apart from the richness of the music one thing stands out and that is how much each song sounds like an orchestra playing.

[@Joy14ever]

I got to go to a concert in 1971 in Ohio to see Neil Diamond & Helen Reddy. He was awesome and my, how can it be, 51 years have passed?!!! Time and age catch up to all, but his songs are as fresh today as back then. Thanks Neil!

It was the year in Canada that the age to go to a bar or pub as we called it, was lowered to 18, ironically just after he turned the old legal age of 21. So that year we could both legally drink alcohol. He did not think it was funny at all. We managed to stay married quite happily for 35 years. To my surprise, he called it quits and the joke was on me as the BEEGEEs sang. Still love him and I’m 73 this year. Still love Neil and this song.

I remember taking a girl named Cathy to the Persimmon Festival and we had a unforgettable night that night! Neil was singing this song and we were laughing and singing along. His music was great and she gave a lifetime of memories. Rock on Cathy!!!

[@patriciahayes722]

Love this song. Brings back very special memories ❤

[@MeredithWaters]

I have this memory frozen in time of this song...growing up in the early seventies, and an older friend who had fallen in love for the first time. I stopped by her house on a Saturday to find her listening to a 45 of this record, on one of those record players that opened up from a little suitcase. It was broken, and it would stop going round, but she would turn it with her finger to keep it going. She didn't care if it sped up or slowed down, she just had to hear it some more. I just stood there watching her play it over and over, thinking about that boy, wondering about love and what secrets this song held for her ❤

What an extraordinarily talented man, Neil Diamond is! One of the most gifted singer/songwriters of our generation, and we've been SO blessed to have him and his music to enjoy!😄💒

wow just burst into tears! never realize how that song has so many 1970's memories tied to it!

[@vicster1962]

I'm now 106, with 6 kids. 22 grandkids, 54 great-grandkids and 52 great -great -grandkids. Neil Diamond got me through World War 1,2 and those other wars. Plus 3 marriages to horrible women. He even pulled me through a harrowing bout with gonorrhea in the 40's I don't know where I'd be without him. God Bless you Neil, you are one in a million!

[@deborahcarr250]

Omg that voice. So soothing. Top music. 💖 Just love this man 😀

[@williammurphy1430]

My parents used to take me to a restaurant in the 70s and they had these little jukeboxes on the wall and this is one of those songs they always played good memories this in December 63

[@kenjoneslee]

I was only ten in 1970....love this fun, uplifting song. Never saw Neil in concert....he's a living legend!!!

[@kdp8133]

Me too! Saved my pocket money to buy it

[@floydiandreamscapes5145]

Man does this song bring back some great memories of when I was a kid. Actually, it made me bawl because my mom has died and she loved this song.

[@davidg.9932]

To anyone who has lost a loved one.. Our Father loved this song.. That meant we all loved it..

[@omapam162]

50 years on and this song still rocks! Someone asked me today what genre was Neil's music. I replied that he was and is a genre unto himself. Really looking forward to new music soon!

[@noahmills.6643]

Yessir. My old man made a mixtape for a road trip with Neil Diamond first, then some Maiden for me. 😁

[@tyecurtis7228]

I never get tired of this music. Even cowboys dig it!

Neil Diamond wrote great songs in the 70’s when I was growing up. Brings back memories of when my parents were alive.

what a great song and performer!

[@wine-living]

I'm a wine expert and one of the fun stories I always love sharing at wine events is that Neil wrote this song about a rosé wine. They have a sparkling pink wine in Canada that they call, "Crackling Rosé" that inspired the song.

[@carolhayar3037]

how many songs have those "hidden" meanings or messages that so many people don't understand; one such is the great "Whiter Shade of Pale" (Gary Brooker & Procol Harum); the live in Denmak version is fantastic

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

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.

[@skipdow3]

The guy singing it is 76 now, and he can still sound nearly as great. A song about wine. Look it up !

[@TDwyer-pt2dd]

Neil Diamond was and is a genius in music! No one compares.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

But he never offered to die on a cross to save us from our sins. He can't save our soul like my Jesus can.

[@susanreeves4062]

Not only is his singing incredibly beautiful, he wrote most of his own songs. He certainly has God given gifts and talent..Very few entertainers are as talented as Neil ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's not Biblical. He can't save your soul. Only Jesus Christ can do that.

[@jmrodas9]

"Cracklin Rosie, you are a store bought woman" is the sentence that made me realize it was not about a girl but a bottle of booze. Neil Diamond's style is unmistakable and this song is still very good to hear, a timeless song.

[@exoressdelivers70]

Never even thought about that. But it does seem to fit the part about Rosie being store bought. 😚

[@joeg.4424]

In this version he gives an explanation on how he came up with Cracklin Rosie wine and turned it into a song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYCqfGagadlsZtU
