Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941 in Brooklyn, New York) made his debut as a Singer-Songwriter in the mid-Sixties, with such hits as "Cherry Cherry", "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", and "Sweet Caroline". Diamond also had a massive hit with 1972 concert album Hot August Night. He has revived his career many times, starting with the successful soundtrack album from the failed movie Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The momentum that had run out by the beginning of The '80s was given new force with the song "Heartlight", which was rejected from the soundtrack of the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial but was accepted by millions of fans.Diamond faded a bit in The '90s but still has a following.Elected to the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 1984 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. | |

List Song | |
| Neil Diamond (Music) / int_2bd2b7b8 | comment |
List Song: "Done Too Soon", ostensibly a meditation on notable people who died young, though the presence of Buster Keaton (died at 70) and Ho Chi Minh (died at 79) stretches the definition a bit. | |

Wolverine Publicity | |
| Neil Diamond (Music) / int_34082c59 | comment |
Wolverine Publicity: An odd case of a popular artist using a less-well-known artist for this. There's a prominent "Produced by Robbie Robertson" credit on the cover of Beautiful Noise. Instead of helping sales, Diamond did this to help his artistic reputation, since The Band was one of the most critically acclaimed outfits of that era, so getting their guitarist/songwriter to produce his album was a big coup for Diamond. | |

| Neil Diamond (Music) / int_49180a5f | comment |
Non-Actor Vehicle: He starred in the 1980 remake of The Jazz Singer, which was critically-reviled but a modest hit at the box office, and the soundtrack birthed three Top 10 hits ("America", "Love on the Rocks", "Hello Again"). | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Neil Diamond (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Like fellow 1970s Soft Rock singer-songwriter Carole King, Neil Diamond started out as a musician in the Brill Building pop/rock genre, much like Paul Anka, Bobby Darin, and a certain other Neilnote Coincidentally, Paul Anka and Neil Sedaka would also write soft rock songs later in their career. He was also in a duo with his high school friend known as Neil and Jack. | |

Cover Album: As noted in the discography, he's released four of them. Also, his 1971 album Stones comes close to this trope, since it has only two originals (the Title Track and "I Am... I Said") mixed with covers. | |

Isn't It Ironic? | |
| Neil Diamond (Music) / int_bf8a2be2 | comment |
Isn't It Ironic?: Possibly subverted with "Sweet Caroline". This song sounds like a romantic love ballad, but on two occasions, Diamond stated that he had written it for Caroline Kennedy, then five years old at the time. However, in 2014, Diamond gave a different account, stating that it was about his then-wife Marcia, but the name "Caroline" was substituted to fit the meter. | |

Ode to Sobriety | |
| Neil Diamond (Music) / int_ed554173 | comment |
Ode to Sobriety: "The Pot Smoker's Song" is of the "deconstructed ode to intoxication" variety: Neil sings a commercial-jingle-esque chorus extolling the pleasures of Marijuana use, while the verses use Spoken Word in Music clips of young people in rehab to illustrate that it can lead to use of harder drugs. | |
