Neil Diamond 2001 Interview with Jay Leno

[@Sharsung]

Neil Diamond must be a dream to interview on a show like this. He’s so natural, and funny!

[@jaagmari]

One of the best singer/songwriters in music history.

[@Sharsung]

Neil has a great sense of humor. A natural comedian. Long may he live in health and happiness

[@louisebossert6232]

Neil Diamond will alway be a great singer

[@Sharsung]

He’s funny and cute and talented and kind. I wish they could clone him.

[@ggme4682]

Neil D. is absolutley one of a kind, there will never be another like him. And Jay Leno....a class act, Him and Johnny were the best on late night TV.

[@maribelarcega7161]

I love the way he sings.great singer

[@tomdunn1254]

Two great people together. Love ND's music for as long as I can remember.

[@jogman262]

Not only a great singer but a funny guy too.

[@monataylor7196]

I'm really sad I missed this. He is a class act all the time. To think in the 60s he was so shy there were no published pics of him. Not until Hot August nite there abts.

[@teresadbrownbrown3785]

Agree

[@bhn7731]

I'm 64. I remember hearing Solitary Man in 1966. That would make me 11 at the time. I thought he was kind of country a little bit. Over time, other of his songs reinforced this sense that he was from the south. Kentucky Woman, Brother Loves Traveling Show, Sweet Caroline... Now all these years later, I'm for the first time hearing him speak, and to my ears he has this Jewish New York accent. Cracks me up. I really didn't know he was Jewish. And Diamond is his real birth name.

[@johnvictord8303]

Is Neil jewish? Oh, god!

[@bhn7731]

@@johnvictord8303 Yes. Very culturally influential.

[@smallworldafterall09]

He’s a Brooklyn boy.

[@willmont8258]

I always thought he was a Country/Western singer when I was growing up. 'Kentucky Woman', 'Thank The Lord For The Night Time', 'Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon', sounded very country to me.

[@johnvictord8303]

Not only a great Singer, but a funny guy too

[@patriciajrs46]

I believe ; that he is just wonderful no matter what he does.

[@mattosullivan9687]

He always honors others

[@Iris-BS]

No hablo inglés. Entré por darme el gusto de escuchar su voz y qué suerte que lo hice!!!!! Aunque solo entiendo palabras sueltas puedo apreciar su sentido del humor y su simpatía. Es adorable! Amo a este hombre! He disfrutado de su música desde sus comienzos y lo sigo haciendo. Tiene una voz maravillosa y sus composiciones son bellísimas!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

Ele é maravilhoso desde sempre e pra sempre!

[@faithfawcett705]

I really love.him. What a man such talent

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Can't believe he wasn't cast in Sopranos...he would have been brilliant. Pure class with an undercurrent of darkness...and naturally very very funny in a New York way. Great interview.

[@ritazanin1429]

You seem to know well the Soprano’s style. How come?

[@rosarioreside3327]

I ‘m very fond of him one of the most great artists, humble, likable personality he got it all😊❤️🙏

[@pete4180]

I could see the real 'Neil' come through in this chat..

Always been a big fan of both Neil and Jay . Nice interview.

Mi primer CD. Y original aún lo conservo.

[@marym.garcia4147]

Wicked sense oh humor!

[@AntonioBarsanio]

What a gentleman, for me it would intimidating to talk to someone like Neil Diamond anthough I know he is a down to earth person. He is a musical genius from Brooklyn just like Gershwin was.

[@anamariaminisale]

[@gerritveldhuisen7748]

Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (110 Volt America-Europe 220 Volt) I'm approached by Lou van Rees Management for a solution to my Hammond Rent.After four days I got my B3 Hammond returned with Fire Burn spots of Cigarettes.It frustrated me.They have me removed me from the Neil Diamond Fan Club because I had this listed on their site.Never Apology of Neil Diamond ;-(

[@declankelleher1106]

No freedom of speech with him, bad guy

[@georgesmiley1355]

I've never under stood Neil diamond appeal every one of his songs sounds the same the lyrics are drivel thee diction sounds as English is a second language. And what does crackling. Rose you're a store bought woman mean? Was she a love doll?

[@precious4111]

Haha.....you're a rare one who doesn't like Neil....he's one of the few greats. Wonder who you like....

[@pertjacanape]

His lyrics are more like stream of consciousness, like many of those by Paul Simon, as opposed to good storytelling. Both NYC Jewish boys from roughly same time period. He keeps his music simple harmonically, and trades rather on the interesting richness of his voice combined with his graceful stage presence. He was a member of the NCAA champion NYU fencing team, always was light on his feet, and he knows how to dance in ways that subtly entice females.

[@hilf8927]

Cracklin rose was slang for a bottle of wine.

[@tylerjames329]

listen to lady magdalene. see if it's drivel.
