[@cindyblankfield1961]

2023 Still adore Mr Diamond

[@anitahuie1145]

I so adore this beautiful individual . The world is a better place because of him. Thank you, Neil Leslie diamond. You are your own person and we the public are better for it. You always speak to your audience as if you know us individually and that takes a real person to do that. You aren't rock and roll because it is not who you are. You are a true artist and a perfect gentleman. I love you for who you are. I have been blessed greatly by you. Thank you.

[@juliegonzaga6625]

[@charlenehernandez8546]

He has genetic strength-his life is blessed-has outgrown friendships-but that is what shows in the continuing creative process'that keeps this man going-i believe..

[@purringinmyear]

Great interview and Neil Diamond is a diamond

[@karenmcdunn3852]

Neil, you are REAL, you are YOU, and THAT is true "Cool"!! 😎 Love you, and God Bless!! 💖

[@yvonnesaxena966]

Love this interview of Neil Diamond. Have loved Neil's singing and style all my life. He was really fantastic.

[@briantcox]

This is one of the most heartfelt, articulate, authentic interviews I’ve ever heard by Neil diamond. I’ve been a huge fan for the past 48 years and was very moved by his deeply honest sensitivity here. I think I’m even a bit more of a fan now if that’s possible.

[@marykaestner2755]

Neil Diamond- The coolest of the cool!

[@radhasen.animalwelfare.5644]

The greatest love of my life from the age of 14 in the early 70's..🧡💚💙❤️💜💜💛 With that mesmerising voice.. And those sexy eyes... Im 62 now and still madly in love with him.💚🧡❤️ For me "happy hours" are just listening to him late night all alone when its dead silent and this side of the world is fast asleep.

[@grachiepernosa588]

I agree with all you say about Neil...specially about his eyes👀 , not often mentioned 👌

[@nancipoulos3560]

He is a class act!

[@victoriachinavare5535]

I agree Brooklyn road really tells you about Neil 💎 he is so very humble. The interview was fantastic. I really enjoyed the interviewer letting Neil doing the talking. Some interviewers don't let the guest do the talking. God Bless Neil 💎. 🤺🙏🌹♥️

[@anitahuie1145]

Your honesty is so refreshing. But whether you accept it or not, you are so loved and respected. God bless you and God blesses me every day with your music and honesty.

[@UtopiaBlue68]

"WOW" Neil is an an extraordinary soul.... Thank you for your wonderful music Neil buddy ;-)

[@noahmills.6643]

Thanks for being a fan!! I just wanna appreciate you in particular for being a fan and you should keep supporting me it brings me so much joy that I'm able to put smiles on your faces and hearts.🌼🍁

[@jerseybabcia]

Love ya, Neil ......... and love your music to the extreme!

[@reptilicus975]

He's not rock, he's not pop....he's his own genre. His genre is Neil Diamond. :)

[@johnmcnally9933]

Nice!

[@jpzollar]

How beautifully, well-said! Cheers!

[@jeffschwartz7923]

reptilicus975 Technically - he's "Easy Listening". The group was invented for John Denver in the mid 1970's and became the most used group in music - damn near everybody was "Easy Listening" sooner or later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But with that voice - when he was born - God pointed to him and said a single word: "Singer"!!!!!!!!!

[@Taiyou536]

He said himself that he never fits in :) He is special !

[@gerritveldhuisen7748]

Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (117 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 spots of @t frustrated me.They have me removed me from the Neil Diamond Fan Club because I had this listed on their site.Never Excuse of Neil Diamond ☹️🎹'

[@lilise3965]

Great, great, great, interview!

[@stevelawrence5268]

Neil " The Line The Nile " Diamond , his music is a karaoke treasure trove of hits that glitters with appeal to karaoke singers even if personally i come off as love on the rocks on a cold september morning.

[@Yetti0]

As an artist myself, he is sooooo right!

[@sparklerocks]

AND ...I am I SAID" was OWNING SELF! Me too, I did it because of your songs,, and I was just a little kid.. I needed YOU, and you were there on the radio, and you helped me without ever meeting me. :) totally adore you! Thank You! pretty sure I speak for millions. What a jewel you are... always will be. again, Thank You, Ruthie

[@spotonz]

Very good interviewer, great questions and he let Neil rip.

[@satpalmann]

Grew up adoring him!! King Diamond..

[@swiesner7601]

I love this interview of Neil!! Thx!!

[@sparklerocks]

I wonder if he KNOWS.. when I was 13, a frightened kid, looking for mushrooms in the North Timber. Iowa, just a kid... and I would sing outloud and to myself.. " AND WHEN I HURT, HURTING RUNS OFF MY SHOULDERS, HOW CAN I HURT WHEN LOVING YOU" and those lyrics, and that BEAUTIFUL TUNE he sang, SAVED ME! it GAVE ME HOPE that maybe I wAS OK. Thank you Neil DIAMOND for that, and so many other songs. You don't know me, but you touched me deeply. Brooklyn Roads.... and on it goes. WHAT A GIFT you are to SO many,, I am one.

[@omapam162]

I was 15--dad died, older brother died--"Stones." "And she would ache for love and get but stones..." and then "Lordy, child , A good day's comin' And I'll be there to let the sun in And bein' lost is worth the comin' home." Saved my life in 1973, saved my life in 2019. Neil has a way of reaching down into my very soul and exposing my deepest feelings. Wonderful man, wonderful music.

[@anitahuie1145]

Thank you Marjorie. I cherish this memory that brought about the song "beautiful noise. "

[@ritamiller1645]

[@sparklerocks]

Brooklyn roads tells the MOST about Neil Diamond, and STILL does to this DAY! I know that! :)

[@victoriachinavare5535]

Sparklerocks I agree Brooklyn road does does tell a lot about his childhood. 🌹

[@irenerobert8215]

I love your mannerisms and your movering on stage.

[@risinghorizon1]

I think this is a very honest interview. I like this better than when he was interviewed in Australia and he smoked nonstop.

[@РаисаТарасенко-р3я]

Как приятно видеть и слушать Нила Диамонда, какое выразительное лицо, сколько эмоций, как он любит свою работу, жизнь, всех людей на нашей планете. Глаза говорят о многом. Спасибо за общение. Т

[@doriscourinos9297]

Love his voice. Love to see him in person!!

[@cindywebb897]

What a wonderful interview so honest and interesting to watch, may Jehovah bless you 💕

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

So Neil Diamond's first answer is "my hands were tied behind my back creatively speaking by Industry commercial types who are not going for what's great...but what is popular in the moment". Wow...i'd happily search back through Neil's creations back catalogue of creations in that first period...BETTING THERE WERE SOME ABSOLUTELY STONKING SONGS RIGHT THERE...ohhhh, the material we must have missed". Neil...please go back to that drawer and take out 100 songs(narrow them down to three albums with YOUR choices), release them Independently and i'll happily book my copies of three albums right now...any other takers? THE REAL NEIL'S CREATIVE ZEAL DEALs..there's an album cover title for albums 1, 2 and 3 for ya!!!

[@faegrrrl]

I identify with what he's talking about because I've said those words myself. You can't understand writing unless it's in your blood and you love that the blood is pumping through your brain and the encouragement yet annoyance sometimes that the WORDS will push you to. Like he said, "There's a song." I KNOW that so well. It's good to hear one of my Top 5 say this. It was freeing!

[@TessPereira]

What a awesome soul you are Neil Diamond God love you ❤️

[@alicefridman2447]

Que pena esta entrevista não ter legenda em português! Os comentários dizem que esta entrevista foi fantástica! E Neil foi fantástico como sempre ! Que D'us abençoe vc e sua família Neil Diamond !!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@daveyork0]

If you don't at least like Neil Diamond then you'd just have to be antisemitic

[@claudiascott6484]

What a terrible interviewer. He sort of sound like he was jealous and trying to belittle Mr. Diamond.
