Neil Diamond, "Cherry, Cherry" on Late Show, December 13, 1996 (full, st.)

[@suedesch-carney883]

Such an amazing man😊😊😊

[@tashkenty]

One of the best pop rock songs of the last century. Definitely in my top 10 of all time

[@spindriftdrinker]

Certainly the best three chord rock song ever.

[@CheriCaudle-z6e]

This is the real Neil diamond and he is the best singer in the United States.

[@HarrisonHollers]

The band is having so much fun! It’s infectious!

[@spindriftdrinker]

Why not? Easy to play, you can relax and have fun. It's not the Brandenburg Concerto. 🙂

[@JohnBuck41]

A 30 year old song and it sounds as good now as the first time I heard it as a 9 year old in '66. Or better

[@SheilaD111]

This makes me so happy! 💙✨💙✨💙

[@karlfortuin5794]

Diamonds are 4 ever 🎹🎙️🎸

[@venedenn1]

Those backup vocals (especially during the verses) by the two women absolutely knock me out!

[@tjl5419]

Great singer and very down to earth nice guy

[@caroljnorton8099]

Love love him!!!❤I would pay a lot to see him live again!!!❤

[@MichelleMcNick]

Love the way young Neil looks, the face, eyes and smile,just gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@brucewayneissupermanquinn601]

You know you have longevity as an artist when your “Career Retrospective” came out 25 years ago.

[@fffrtyrty123]

The backup singers are total fly. Those girls have polished, peerless control, variety of movement and spontaneous adjustment to the teensiest, weensiest changes in sound.

[@gailcrowley4230]

Always makes it sound like the first time….can he be more superb!!!!!

[@bretkindell6887]

this is good stuff no matter what kind of music you like

[@jacobandsarahelliott6492]

Metal head here ☝🏻completely agree!! Great f$@king song

[@lajoswinkler]

@@jacobandsarahelliott6492 It's funny how it's always the "metal heads" that have to point this out.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

Thank you, Don Giller. I hope you are well these days.

[@ayoda1]

If I were one of the guitarists that night, I would never forget playing alongside Neil Diamond and "Cherry Cherry."

[@SCnative64]

Incredibly prolific songwriter! As a teen I think I wore out my Mom's Hot August Night album!

[@redsparkle7839]

Great performance. Paul Shaffer killing it on the Hammond.

[@zerofide]

paul so tastefully complimented the bands he played with all those years, what a treat!

[@williamjoshualucas6503]

Easily one of the greatest three chord pop songs of all time.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Easily!!

[@jogman262]

E, A, D.

[@rhinoinmn]

@@jogman262 GLORIA as well!

[@pkoven]

like 90% of his songs.

[@spindriftdrinker]

@@jogman262 Yes, but the genius of it is that the bridge modulates from key of E to key of A, but still uses the same three chords.

[@sarahm.4926]

Omg such a cute performance 😍

[@louisedonato1342]

I love it!!! God Bless Them!!

[@davidkopec9442]

Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, this rocks just as hard in its own way.

[@karenreardon5398]

Love this man and Cherry Cherry is among my favorites!❤🌹❤️💕

[@ritaroberts1265]

This is a sure swinging song and Neil Diamond knows how to move with it ,so sexy. Love it. the band and audience are having such fun

[@louisedonato1342]

They are missed. Never see this again in my life. Cool!

[@CheriCaudle-z6e]

@louisedonato it is a scam and false information Neil diamond is alive and well and healthy.someone is pretending to be him he doesn’t have Parkinson’s disease.

[@thanksfernuthin]

A legend.

[@caroljnorton8099]

Love love him!!!❤

[@maddyL1234]

Hes got it all! Fabulous voice and sexy. Pity he got sick. I think he worked far too hard. You can see how much he loves what he does.

[@terriesiline9217]

I enjoyed being at your 50th tour 2017❤️

[@rainertrebbin-vf7nt]

Neil🎵🎸

[@HHH-ye1ro]

You can tell Dave is a big fan. He’s giddy!!

[@DIAgrl44]

My crush 💖

[@ccmuclamba]

Always loved how into it Paul Schaefer was

[@travelinman617]

Great singer cool guy legend

[@cavalierfan1995]

the groove has been used in so many songs cherry cherry-neil diamond what i like about you-the romantics r o c k in the usa-john mellencamp on the dark side-eddie and the cruisers

[@rogersloan9711]

David Bryne said that the Talking Heads song "And She Was" was inspired by "Cherry Cherry".

[@juangonzales2626]

INTERPRETACIÓN ES IRREPETIBLE PARA NOSOTROS QUE AMAMOS ESTE TEMA Y A NEIL DIAMOND AYER SE MANTENDRÁ EN NUESTRAS MEMORIAS SIEMPRE AUNQUE ESTÉ ENFERMO LO VAMOS A ALABAR Y MÁS..

[@CheriCaudle-z6e]

It is a scam and fake news Neil diamond does not have Parkinson’s disease it is someone who is pretending to be him that has it.

[@djdudekevin]

Total Superstar!!

[@JPammo]

Go Baby❣️GO ❣️💎💖💃

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Legend ❤

[@mikemosko5961]

Just think. That head contains the brain of a musical genius...

[@orbison]

You can't go wrong with NEIL! Thanks for the double delight (Neil Diamond and Jimmy Cliff on the same night.)

[@hercles]

Paul Shaffer does a great job; compliments Neil very well.

[@stevenbatke2447]

Paul and the band fit in with so many legends over the years!

[@brucewayneissupermanquinn601]

Paul looks like he’s having the time of his life at any given time. A great way to live, IMO.

[@veralucindamathias5506]

Sempre muito bom ouvir esta voz maravilhosa.

[@millernavia695]

BEST rockin' grandpa. Helluva songwriter too. Ohh do you have all the Alan kalter celebrity interview skits

[@dongiller]

I have every show.

[@DianneTrampoline]

❤♥

[@thereturningshadow]

I seriously believe that John Mellencamp was emmencely nspired by this song when he wrote ROCK in the USA in the mid 80s. The rhythm, the tempo and especially the guitar playing is virtually identical.

[@susanhudak7393]

Same thing with many other bands. Most all had hits with them.

[@gtrdoc911]

Yeah that chord progression has been thoroughly milked out. Another example is the Romantics That's What I Like About You.

[@rebekah7635]

Neil Diamond is the funnest

[@garyeisenberg4251]

Him phill collins and Elton oh my

[@namomme5008]

Still the 🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥

[@GRAW2ROBZ]

Girl is out of sight!

[@estamosai2633]

São José dos Campos. SP Brasil

[@jogman262]

Coolest guy ever!

[@danr5105]

EADA with no use of "nothing chord upstrums" Just be fast and accurate with chord changes.

[@Pimp-Master]

He just plays the basic three and inverts them for the verses. Pretty clever.

[@catboxcleaner3532]

I think I would like to be one of the backup singers

[@shawntucker9283]

The Elvis alternative

[@Ootgreet1]

Of course, Beavis and Butthead absolutely overshadowed anything Neil played on the show j/k 😂

[@grahamherbert3612]

Much appreciated by the Northern Soul community.
