Neil Diamond - Holly Holy 1971

De la presentación de Neil en la BBC2 de 1971, es de destacar la presencia en su mundo musical tanto del productor de esa época, Tom Catalano como del músico y arreglista Lee Holdridge, quien ya había trabajado con ellos en el estudio de grabación, pero en 1971 sale del estudio y se va a las presentaciones en vivo. La presencia orquestal es clara, y complementa al grupo básico de Neil, dándole un nuevo sonido. Esto se destaca en esta versión en directo de Holly Holy, canción grabada originalmente en 1969 para el álbum: TOUCHING YOU, TOUCHING ME. La letra en inglés está enseguida
Holly Holy (Grabación original de 1969; esta versión en vivo de 1971)
Holly holy eyes
Dream of only me
Where I am
What I am
What I believe in
Holly holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Ah Yeah! Ah Yeah!
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy love
Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be full with tomorrow
Holly holy
Sing a song
Sing a song of songs
Sing it out
Sing it strong
Ah Yeah! Yeah!
Call the sun in the dead of the night
And the sun gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And that lame man, he gonna fly
And I fly
And I fly
Holly holy love
Take the lonely child
Ah, Holly holy sun
Ah, Holly holy rain
Holly holy love

Una rola que llego para quedarse toda la vida en quien la escucha por primera vez....y sigue vigente, Esperemos que llegue el día de que venga a Mexico el Maestro Neil Diamond.

[@cheekyfellow33]

I love this song, it's one of my favorites. I really enjoyed all the rare photos! I've never seen most of them. He is so gorgeous, and I never get tired of looking at him at any age. Thank you for sharing them.

Neil Diamond ,la belle mélodie qui accompagne les paroles de réflexions profondes et vivifiantes...le nouveau siècle a besoin de ce genre de music.

You're an old soul! Neil-am certainl of it!

[@TheDiamond262]

Everyone who knows me know's how much I love Neil, they just have to look at my walls and see my Collection of Albums over the years. To me he is the most Beautiful , Sexy, Sultry, Gorgeous, of all the Singers of the world. To me know one compares to him. Of course it's not just his good looks that attracted me to him it was when I saw him for the first his time all those years ago in the early 70's, his Beautiful Face on the cover of his Classic Fantastic Album Hot August Night, I picked it up and thought Hmmmm, who is this Gorgeous Man I had not heard any of his music and songs yet, but when I did I was entranced by his beautiful Voice. And I could not put it down, That's how I fell in Love with him which has brought me here to this day. Thanks for this video of his Classic Song Holly Holy. I will Love him Forever ..... ❤️💓💓❤️💖

[@barbarapalmer8224]

[@sufletpierdut6622]

Hola Marisol.

[@Goofygoat2012]

this song is used in the beginning of the movie "holy smoke" with kate winslet and harvey kartel and it's perfect for the scene. it's such a great song.

[@MrSeek1971]

hell yea or just listen to the song as loud as possible

[@jimheitkemper8216]

Love this song and it triggers Memories .. With a beautiful girl that i would marry for 20 years , It was summer of 1976,in a triple black Marquis convertible on a starlit summer nite cruising the backroads of Harrison county ,.still got the 69 Marquis ,but the girl went her own way .

[@CleideMachadoClaybom]

Linda, linda !! Neil é Maravilhoso !!!

[@luciagarcia8425]

[@shevaughnheaney-lee6687]

Thank-you for Sharing!

[@dackelbiene]

tolle Bilder, guter Sound. Klasse!!!!

[@hategreed1]

Nobody thinks that shite they make/sell now is music. It's just product pushed by the Greed for the uneducated ear that has been raised on shite. Matt Monro, Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Karen Carpenter and so many others of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the musical treasure they gave us will be heard and loved as long as our species survives. Artistry like this is more relevant now, and needed more now than when it was created.

[@VinnyBarbarino1369]

I love hard rock and metal! But for some reason I love this guy.iim looking for a song he did with a orchestra I think? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[@JamesParsonsDunckervon]

Si.

[@ReDeV7]

@flowerlady35 Hiya, best version is off "Hot August Night" 1972 live. Its on here. Listened to all the versions of this song up and down the years but IMO the above was the best. Cheers.

[@lyallg8112]

This song gets better every time I hear it.

[@ReDeV7]

@flowerlady35 My favourite song actually is not a hit of his. "That Kind" Beautiful song.

[@rosariogarciasuarez1143]

Me gustaría hacer un análisis escrito, sobre la vida de este famoso. Pero no se de donde empezar. Que opinan

[@HollyErinWilliams1998]

this is my song...Lol.

[@elliottblake6806]

[@andrewphillips5509]

[@Dadayi33]

Is it true that He is a Jew who got denounced by his father for singing. please enlighten me. I so much love his music.

[@heavenlycrystalsandcandles3609]

[@daverat7549]

Jewish Elvis Lives!

[@Susie196921]

That is utter nonsense! His parents were both extremely proud of him! I often wonder where these strange tales come from!

[@Goofygoat2012]

nope..haven't met them and don't want to....no offence.

[@Goofygoat2012]

@shawnareff420 are you serious? men do NOT look better older. most are pretty unattractive, hairy, smelly, overweight and in need of dental care. take a look around.

[@sufletpierdut6622]

Love it.

[@rhala1960]

Thank you Neil Diamond il never stop listening, you are the best, love you

[@stevephillips2093]

This song is an absolute thing of beauty

[@2008alberta]

and to think...back when he was trying to find a record label no one wanted to sign him to their record...now he's in the rock and roll hall of fame...

[@rhala1960]

In 1975 i got this track in vinyl Lp. After that i need this tune sometime
