Neil Diamond, 'Cherry Cherry' (circa 1967)

[@johnmillercpainc]

Neil Diamond is one of the best singers and songwriters of all times.

[@patriciajrs46]

Yes, he is.

[@danieltrammell6464]

I totally agree with you.

[@patriciajrs46]

All of his songs are his and they're great.

[@SkankHunt380]

Right next to Jeff Lynn

[@barrysmith1202]

in the Beatles Era!

[@BayBeBoomer]

Inducted to the R & R Hall of Fame in 2011 by Paul Simon. LONG time overdue! Rock on Neil Diamond!!!

I have listened to many versions of Cherry Cherry (all by Neil) This version displays the best change to hear Neil's guitar clearly. You can hear the down and up strumming pattern and the easy EADA chord progression. This is the pick for my first song to learn on guitar. I am getting it. I am 65, still having fun with this music.

[@kihato73]

Kudos to you. You've given me courage to learn how to play guitar as I've always desired.

[@RicOshayed1]

That's great, Dan! I too am going on 18 at the age of 73……!

[@danr5105]

@@RicOshayed1 Lots of fun. I probably have 1200-1500 hrs in after 2 years. I do suffer from trigger finger,carpal tunnel,arthritis,nodes on finger joints (look at Keith Richard's fingers, yuck) I met a woman (not like everyone thinks,give me the benefit of the doubt here,not all internet meets are bad) through a music site. I gave/sold/loaned her my Recording King RD-328 simply because she wanted to learn and did not have a guitar. I still have 3 other acoustics and my Roadhouse Strat). Things are working out. She will either pay me for the guitar after 2 years (800.00) or give it back. I think she keeps it,and pays. Life is too short to stay safe when all that you can lose is 800.00 (well and a friend.) I know this is risky but I will not be ruined financially.

[@go_ak_go]

@@danr5105 thanks for the inspiration! That I didn't realize that I needed today. May I ask what is this music site? I'm quite interested. Grateful to have run across this. 🙏🏼 Thanks!

[@patriciajrs46]

Good for you.

[@jameskempton2139]

I am 58 years old and Neil Diamond has been such an inspiration during my young life. From the songs "Shilo," to "Cherry-Cherry," to "Solitary Man," "I'm a Believer,"" I' Am, I Said "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon," "Crackling Rose," "Sweet Caroline,""Song Song Blue," "America," and so many inspirational others, it's about time Neil Diamond was finally inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2011. He should have made it in much earlier.

[@vetb882]

Same age, same songs. I woke to today with this song playing in my dreams. Best alarm ever. 😎👍🏽💞

[@ttocselbag5054]

Probably first heard Cherry, Cherry circa 1970. I was only an 8 y.o. boy at that time, but I remember being mesmerized by the groove and vibe. Some fifty two years later, have loved Neil Diamond ever since! 😁

[@bogywankenobi3959]

There are two kinds of people in the world - those who love Neil Diamond music . . . and liars.

[@luciusesox1luckysox570]

lol

[@barrysmith1202]

its propaganda...

[@serundipity]

The fact that the Rock and Roll hall of fame ignored Neil Diamond for so long takes nothing away from Neil Diamond, as he is truly one of a small list of great song writers and performers. It does, however, take credibility away from them. Ignore them. They cannot make anyone better or take anything away from anyone. Instead, listen to the great musicians. It is time better spent.

[@bvhill6051]

"Cherry "Cherry", early hit for Neil Diamond. He's now inducted into the R & R Hall of Fame. Inducted RR HoF 2011. Better late then never right?

[@bobsherry7673]

He should have been in the HOF years ago. Shame that he wasn't.

[@patriciajrs46]

Sounds very similar to the Monkees "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You", But then I think he wrote both. Great post Thank you for thre memory.... Great.

[@clientconsolemailserver4779]

Neil is one of a kind.! Inducted RR HoF 2011. Better late then never right? What a vision..soooo young! gorgeous...

[@m7j23s53]

The people responsible for not inducting Neil into the Hall of Fame, should be inducted in to the Hall Of SHAME.

[@FanOfJanis]

You are totally right. He was one of the very best of that, and any, era. What a great songwriter and performer. In my hometown, Pittsburgh, PA, they would schedule him for one night in concernt. Each time, they ended up booking 3 or 4 consecutive concerts. That's how popular he was. Thanks for sharing. Again, great, great comment.

[@jbjcjb]

I saw Neil in concert in the early 70`s in Southampton and all these years later still consider it the most incredible musical experience ever, also think his early 70`s LP`s the best. Have seen him twice in the later years and nothing compares to a few muscians and small venues when he first started out. He was amazing.

[@emrehaser12]

this is neil young's best song! What a vision..soooo young! gorgeous...

[@huffgladtem7751]

und ggg it’s not Neil young but it’s k I get them confused to sometimes

[@monica9965]

I live close to the R&R HOF. Shall I go thump the powers the be about Neil not being inducted? He deserves it for his own recordings and all the great songs his written that others recorded.

[@ramtha9]

If this tune doesn't make you wriggle in your seat, I believe your 'wriggler' may be broken. Yeah, this is good stuff. Maybe someone could do a re-make of this one. Neil Diamond is great.

[@madmike13]

who remembers this in there grandpa's riviara? rip and NEIL!!!!!!!!!

[@4girlsgramps]

It's so easy to keep coming back to this kind of music....Why would anyone want to listen to the crap that is out there today??

[@sirwillsirwill]

Take it easy ,your parents said the same thing about this "crap" ,your not better and neither is your music. There was allot of crap back then and a small portion of gold. Today is no different

You won't find the best stuff on the radio. No genre dies, no style is lost. Things evolve but there will always be an obscure artist still working in the styles you love most.

[@deadfight22]

This song really brings back memories. I know this may sound kind of Full Houseish Danny Tanner and what not, but our family would get together and sing songs once or twice a week and we had a dog named Cherry. My dad sang this song to her and somehow she knew he was singing about her. She was a good dog shar pei and german shepard mix made her ugly as sin, but we loved her anyway.

[@MsPupie]

thats an awesome memory!

[@philiparomeo]

His best song by far!

[@rickholcomb7681]

I have been a fan of Neil's since I was a kid, reading alone in my room. I was listening to a transistor radio, and heard the words, " Young child with dreams" from Shilo, been a fan ever since.
