He has sold 100 million records globally. His career has been 50+ years. His songwriting talents provided hits for many artists, including the best known song by the Monkees -- I'm a Believer -- which was one of four that group recorded written by this artist. His voice is unmistakable. He has acted in several movies. He has had 10 #1 hits on the US charts. Many will know this description as that of Neil Diamond. Today is his 80th birthday.
I know many of his songs by rote. They were part of my youth soundtrack -- big ballad sounding songs and others decidedly earworms. I wandered through many of his songs today trying to choose one for the blog. I wanted one other than the major hits, but a hit nonetheless. I finally chose one, though I'd likely keep choosing if I just sat here and listened to others. <smile> Stay safe. Enjoy!
I am, I said -- Neil Diamond
