Richard H Hankins from Nw7 LondonI met him and the Band in 1982 spent an hour with him at the Palladium lm a fan since the 60s.I discovered a whole new Neil Diamond of which I was unaware and I actually like him better. I recently watched him perform on the Band's the Last Waltz and was impressed as well. I loved the vocals and the lyrics and couldn't believe it was Neil Diamond. Recently, I was listening to the 60's channel on satellite radio and heard Solitary Man for the first time.

Scott from UsaI always liked Neil Diamond, especially the Jazz Singer which was a hit when I was a kid.AnonymousWho was his inspiration for "they're coming to America?.I wish he could know that I care about his disease and wish him the best, long life and health. I know he has always been a wonderful human being, his songs told me so. Diva Nogueira from BrazilNeil Diamond songs touch me very deeply, I know exactly how he was feeling when he wrote some of his songs.Diva Nogueira from BrazilAbout the song " I am, I said" : I think that anyone can be depressed but to take the feeling of loneliness, the despair of emptiness and change all this into such a beautiful et meaningfull song, one has to be more than a singer and songwriter, one has to be a POET, a really one.Dw from UsaBrilliant man, accolades up there with other legends like Irving Berlin.Charlie The Trucker from Glasgow, ScotlandThe first ND album I bought was 'Brother Loves Travelin' Salvation Show', my first concert was the London Palladium in the mid 70's.I hope and pray that he will have many more years of good health and perhaps be able to make appearances in the U.S. When I heard about his illness, my heart broke for him. Solitary Man also is another personal song that reveals a lot about himself. To me it showed he's a very sensitive person. It's a beautiful song where a man is revealing his soul to the world. I said." The moment I heard it I knew he was really revealing himself in that song and I had so much empathy for the pain he had experienced. I think my favorite song of his is "I Am. Cynthia from Boston, MaI'm 73 and love Neil Diamond.Listening to his music just makes me so happy - I couldn't thank him enough. I also REALLY enjoyed seeing him in the movie, "The Jazz Singer." He has brought so much joy to my life over the years. I even prefer his original version of Red, Red, Wine over UB40's. However, I don't think there are any of his songs I don't love. My most favorites of his songs are I Am, I Said God Only Knows and Forever In Blue Jeans. Lori from Northwest FloridaI've been a fan of Neil Diamond for as long as I can remember, almost since the beginning of his career - which says a lot because I am 57.Jokam from Broadview Heights, OhioThe most underated singer & songwriter of all time.
