How can people even compare music of today to this genius...Will there ever be a day where the music is awesome again. Thank God we can record these greats!

[@EduardoJose-op9wv]

No comparison in todays music.

[@debbiestromain5024]

No comparison! Love him. Most of todays songs , I can’t even understand. Neil could make a song out of street noises!

[@HeyLOOK-aSQUIRREL]

Wow! He was 70 here! So amazing-- his voice, body, looks, spirit, showmanship.

[@ladyjane3660]

That's what I noticed, too; the energy he has; and even at 70-something, I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers...and he's got almost 20 years on me.

[@lilacahmed7364]

Yeah! Agree w everything u said. Just found out yesterday that he has Parkinson disease@ it made me v. Sad! I,m listening to his music since mid '80,s when I came to America w my new husband. And his song coming to America ,we fell in love w as new immigrants who wanted a better future for us.

I loved his music, his lyrics and voice in 1969 when I was a sophomore in high school. 54 yrs later in 2023, I’m still enthralled by Neil. Anyone who knows me knows Neil Diamond is my all time favorite artist

[@loristitt65]

[@acdcking123]

He is my all time favorite singer. I saw a recent interview and he was struggling to speak. Just like me with Diabetes, I hate it. But I hate seeing Neil struggle to speak.

[@user-uc1dj9ux4h]

[@ernestoonetto8288]

Es fantástico no superable por ninguno de los que la cantante sweet caroline

[@kamkam2526]

Saw Neil yrs back and it was one of the best shows I ever saw. There was no division, no hate, no left, no right and no one uttered the word woke once. There was only unity. Everybody watching this man at the top of his game doing what he does best, sing to the people and make them happy😊

[@ladyjane3660]

If Neil sang "Play Me" he uttered the word "woke". "I one day woke up to find her lying beside my bed..." Just messin' with ya. You are absolutely correct. Who ever could have foreseen the world we live in, today. Even today's "music" is awful.

[@dinshawpocha4882]

Wow as I live and breath I NEVER thought I would ever see Neil Diamond on stage with Elton John Bette Midler and Alice Cooper bloody glad that I did though!!

[@ALMAARREDONDO-LYNCH-oo2ge]

I was Migrant Farmworker, in the fields of California. He kept our hearts in tune with his songs,. Day after day of grueling manual labor, Neil Diamond was my escape. I loved his music then and I still do. My wonderful Son bought me tickets for his concert in San Antonio. I was in my late 50s. I cried and cried. He kept me going through those young years. I'm now a Doctor. My son gave me one of my best birthday gifts. There will only be ONE Neil Diamond. My God sealed away the mold.

[@lilacahmed7364]

What a story? Fr Migrant farm worker to a dr? How did u do that?

[@user-iv7xp8cr9q]

I was in the fields too. His voice and words were so comforting. He sang so clearly and his expression and feeling were sincere and honest. He is still in my heart. He has a place in my soul. Thank you dear sir. Live in Beauty.

[@calideb4437]

I wasn't a farm worker, but worked in restaurants and am the daughter of an immigrant who came to the US after WWII. I started listening to Neil Diamond when I was 12. His voice, words & melodies kept me going through tough times & happy ones too. I saw him in San Francisco in 1985. The music of our lives - there are many of us who have liked Neil Duamond for a long time. I'm sorry he had to stop performing because of Parkinson's because he said he enjoyed his concerts as much as the audiences.. Thank you for sharing your story. Best wishes to you & your family.♡

[@AMADINHOS]

With many dificulty and sacrifice, as imigrants always do

[@user-ot4ro6gu3g]

His voice is so unique and original, there is no one like him and never will be, his songwriting is unbelievable, he'll never be forgotten, when he's gone his music will go on and on.

Not a single person in that room that has more class than Neil Diamond; in fact, some of them totally lack class.

'What's missing in today's music is talent.'

[@Unknown-bv7lv]

Thankfully we had Elvis and Neil in the 70s . And we still go to them for this timeless songs

[@ladyjane3660]

I favor Neil about everyone else, but in addition to him, I do enjoy listening to Elvis and Johnny Mathis. They all have very distinct voices. What makes Neil the most talented, though, is he writes his own music.

[@Unknown-bv7lv]

@@ladyjane3660 . Agreed . Elvis had the full package. Voice . Looks. Stage prescnts and Entertainment

[@SHALAt22]

He is soulful and you can see it in his eyes and the way he enunciates his words when he sings. If you look closely, you can see the tears in his eyes when he signs 'I am'.

[@Flipson456]

One of his signature songs and one of the most personal.

My mom had us watch The Jazz Singer on VHS at least 125 times back when,.,"I didn't even know why" There is a bar set so high for anyone who even tries to do his songs now..

Absolutely beautiful!

[@RichA7CV41]

I keep looking at his facial expression at 1:58 and then the nod at 2:00 where he realizes he has to get back to the song, I would love to know what he was thinking of at that moment....I'm your typical Stones/Zeppelin/Pink Floyd person, but Neil has also been there as well (strange bedfellows I know). He's certainly a generational talent, and always sung from the heart.....today's singers can really learn something from him....

I am a forever fan of Neil Diamond, since birth LONG LIVE ,Neil❤️❤️❤️

[@sylviedumontier2908]

Thank your very much! I am, I said, my favorite of Neil Diamond's songs, so personal, also his favorite. He expressed in this song all his vulnerability.
