[@petreeceful]

Classic Artist, Classic Music & book " Jonathan Livingston Segal". The best!

The music from JLS is Neil Diamond at his Best! Superb music/lyrics in everyway. Perfection in music/lyrics/singing/performance. A great composer of beautiful music & lyrics. A superb singer! His music/words always put me in a wonderful mood. The spiritual part of his music/lyrics/his voice/his way of singing will always touch my heart. God Bless you Neil Diamond!

[@dw6463]

A true classic piece, under appreciated for it's time. Neil will always be a blessed song writer for all he has given us.

[@neilzircon]

If you're talking about the soundtrack (not the movie itself), it couldn't have been that "underappreciated" since it won him his only Grammy

There is no age limit for his fans.❤

Growing up with his music, I am so thankful for my generation. His voice and his writing will forever be listened to. Please, Parkinson's be good to Neil Diamond and all who have this disease. Neil was chosen to have this disease, and I know he is handling it as gracefully as he can. Stay strong, Neil. You are loved by many.❤

[@melmatthews5876]

As a classical soprano who adores oratorio, I believe Neil Diamond could have written an incredible oratorio blending all the faiths together. He seems to be a very spiritual man. God bless him and his loved ones always. Thank you God for sending this musical genius to the world.

[@amandameunier4157]

He composed songs 🎵..he didn't just write songs. He was deeply inspired by Mozart and the Classical and Baroque periods of music.

[@meredithkleindienst7740]

Neil Diamond has blessed me with his music for many years and my grown children love him too. I saw Neil three times in Atlanta and he is an excellent musician , song writer and entertainer. You can tell he loves what he does. Thank you Neil!❤

What can one say...about this utopian man except he has become the musical genius of all time. He has defied all obstacles to give us the glory of undefinable music.

Back in 1976 Neil was at the top of his game. I saw him in concert back in 1974 just before I entered the Navy. What a memorable concert that was. JLS was one of my favorite albums.

[@zenonlopezwallace568]

The story of a soul that is reaching out for the divine, The story of trying to reach your limits and to be free....a wonderful book and a wonderful album. Thank you Neil Diamond.

[@neilzircon]

A wonderful book, an amazing album but a shitty movie 😉

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

@@neilzircon You need imagination and the film is a basis. Look at it like that.

[@neilzircon]

@@user-oe1mb9hu9i you can look at it like that. It received terrible reviews (from just about every critic) and was a box office disaster.

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

@@neilzircon Well if you go by reviews ... Those people are prostitutes to the show business and media and all hold hands, if one says something, they all more or less say the same. It only means what that specific slice of population think. If you are an artist you have a free mind. All of them are held by strings.

The book, "Jonathon Livingston Segal", was and is a Classic story, i'v always Loved! And this medley brings back great memories of reading the book, and Neil Diamond is such a class act! Brilliant!! Love him and all of his genius....

[@neilzircon]

The book was a best seller as was Neil Diamond's self composed soundtrack (winning him his only Grammy). On the other hand, the movie sucked (and tanked) and both Neil and the author on the book sued the director and screenplay writer

[@fabienh3943]

I'm 58 and I believe Jonathan Livingston must be the first movie ever to stick to my soul. I never rewatched it since the early seventies, afraid to be dissappointed? But the soundtrack, in spite of my wandering through the "hardest" and weirdest forms of alternative and underground music in the early 80ies, never disappointed. I found it stunningly beautiful as a 10 years old kid, and still today it's comforting when I need that. And I think that poetic movie made me a convinced ecologist for the rest of my life :-) If the US brought one thing to the rest of the world, let it be Neil Diamond's music :-)

[@fredzales1209]

He is simply the best

only a few weeks earlier i went into the import music in sydney and to my luck this concert is now on CD yes the whole concert at the sports ground. Everyone must have seen this on TV .

A mellatron is played so beautiful as well grand piano this is so moving and his beautiful voice shines like a star. Simon

I'm right there with you, Eloise. You said it so beautifully, I have nothing more that needs to be added. This was recorded around the time I was in high school, and every morning while driving to school in my well-loved little blue (used) Chevy Nova, I would play a game. If a Neil Diamond song came on the radio, I knew it was going to be a GREAT DAY! I have never enjoyed any artist as much as him.

I'm going to say as best as can be expected because they're not saying anything from the home front.

Es packt mich immer die Wehmut, wenn ich mir sehr liebgewonnene Songs aus meiner Jugendzeit anhöre. Alles ist vergänglich. Menschen, die man liebte. Die freie Natur. Den Zusammenhalt gleichaltriger und unsere Kinder, die uns vorführen, dass sie es besser wissen, wie auch wir es damals besser wussten. Auch an mir nagt der Zahn der Zeit. Aber die Musik aus unserer Generation wird nie vergänglich sein.
