I was 19 when I heard this song for the first time. I am 70 now and I still love it!

[@ozedofzearth4373]

I'm 21 and I'm sure I'd be loving this song at 70.

[@joegongora2200]

I was 14 & in Junior High when this song came out in 1970. At that time Hurricane Celia had devastated Corpus Christi, Tx. But this song has always been a favorite of mine. I'm 65 Yrs old and probably will still be listening to this song till the end of my days. Good music such as this is hard to come by. Neil Diamond if you're still performing out there Sir... KEEP ROCKIN !!! Your music will always live on !!!

"Solitary Man" is a great song. Probably the best song Neil Diamond has ever composed.

[@trevorbentz3888]

am 71, this man can sing and always will love this song,

[@katiekofemug]

Can anyone else hear the horns even when they are not there? Gawd this man has carried us through so many years & I am so grateful for these vids and music in this time of quarantine.

[@wecanonlywish9194]

Yes.. The music could simply be a track, with him singing live. But Horn sounds are produced by synthesisers today..

Simply one of the best crafted pop songs of all time, poignant lyrics, haunting melody.

When that song came out I was maybe 12 or 13.. I KNEW this song was incredible. I KNEW Mr. Diamond was going places. And he sure has.

Gerrit Veldhuisen 2 weken geleden Neil Diamond was in 1977, four days on Tour in Netherland.there were problems with the Hammond organ (110 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 Cigarettes.It 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 ;-(

[@performingsys]

Amazing how legendary artists like Neil Diamond simply perform their songs because they are great. He comes out on stage and sings without having what seems like hundreds of dancers and laser lights. At least when you go to see him entertain you know what to expect. You know you won't think you are at the circus.

[@nashtndawg]

Usually you have to have all that stuff to deflect from the fact that you suck!

My Dad, #1 Neil Diamond fan. He sadly passed away recently. I will forever miss him. As a young guy the first time he heard this song on the radio, had to know who sang it. From there on had to get all his records. He even named my youngest brother Neil after who he called the great Neil Diamond!! l love you Dad. Xoxoxoxo This songs for you❤😢

In April 1966 this song was released... On June 6th 1966 (6-6-66) I was born and named "Neil"

[@leslieabrassart4236]

It will never be a question of age to appreciate a great artist like Neil Diamond. I'm more than thirty years younger than him and he's my favorite singer, poet and composer ... And forever! You just need to have the sense of feelings, emotion, sincerity and to love a deep and wonderful soul, an exceptional intelligence and a free mind. If you've got the notion and the feeling of all that, you will love that artist like no other ... And I do love him like no other! En français, vous êtes le plus grand des talents, dear Neil Diamond. ❤️

Neil Diamond (born in 1941) is celebrating his 77th birthday today January 24, 2018. He is one of America’s most enduring songwriters best known for his singalong hits “Sweet Caroline” and “Cracklin’ Rosie,” it was announced Monday that he has Parkinson’s disease, and is retiring from concert touring as a result of the diagnosis.

You still rock brother!!!!

[@TheFunkhouser]

"Solitary Man" was the first record Diamond recorded under his own name that made the charts. It remains one of his personal all-time favorites, as it was about his early years as a songwriter, even though he failed to realize it at the time: It wasn't until years later, when I went into Freudian analysis, that I understood that it was me. It was an outgrowth of my despair.

I saw Neil several years ago at the Sharktank in San Jose. He was Excellent!. It was an honor to see his performance live .

[@perfectstranglers]

Neil's voice has not deteriorated over the years as have other singers from his era. This is extraordinary- I would imagine he sings with good vocal technique to preserve his voice instead of "belting".

[@zenonkolacz3004]

Charbel Scoulou sorry mate, but his range is narrower and an octave lower, but fundamentally still in tune and recognisable as ND

[@jmpsthrufyre]

Good point. The most I've heard him belting is on Coming to America.And that's not even belting. He might be beltless.

[@nancygentes8676]

What a nice voice that he had.

[@idontreadyourrepliesever8032]

One of the best songs ever written.

[@thewhatorwhy]

This song makes much more sense as the decades have passed. As the narcissism of western and not so western women have sky rocketted, staying away from them and being solitary is the sane approach.

[@maiajintcharadze7485]

"Narcissism of women have sky rocketted..." What if some girls don't want to be with some men not because the girls are narcissistic but maybe because the men are sexist?

[@thewhatorwhy]

Maia Jintcharadze The only problem with this statement is that it's usually a case of women going after the wrong culprit - when society talks about sexist men, they are not talking about the men who think of women as blow up dolls, but the nice guys who don't ask much of women to begin with. Most societies have pampered women to the point where they think they can ask anything.

[@thewhatorwhy]

Kim Smith I am actually talking about a certain kind of woman. Maia provided the perfect example and there's my reply to it. Go ahead, blame the true asshole men. But 'modern' women and feminists/liberals love to trash men as a whole and somehow go after the nice guys, who are accused of being 'entitled'. So ... not wanting to beat up women, being interested in deep, long term relationships allows these Cinderella airheads to pick on some of the good ones. Which is the point of my original post.
