Thanks so much for posting this interview, Doug. He is such a humble man whose "normalcy" is so refreshing in a world of self important "divas" and "wanna-be kings." It's why his music has never and will never lose its appeal and relevance.
-
Neil Diamond has an identity like no other. No one can copy the timbre of his voice or the integrity of his performances.
-
He has brought us a lifetime of joy! Feel better Neil!

Neil Diamond. Handsome, humble, gifted, sincere. I met and had dinner with this man many years ago. I believe he is still genius.

Whether this man sings or simply talks, he has a beautiful voice. "a beautiful noise".

I attended the Hot August Night concert at the Greek Theater. I was 12 and Neil Diamond was astounding.

Neil 💎 didn't realize what a pure American treasure he would become. How humble he is. What a joy to listen to. He sings straight from the heart. God bless you Neil your band and family. I love you.🌹

Compare this humble, wonderful artist.. this gifted song writer to say the arrogant Kanye West whose songs are a passing fancy soon to be left in the Dustbins of history...While sweet Caroline, Kentucky Woman, I Am I Said etc... are 50 years old and still played, listened and covered by others on a regular basis and still will be 50 years from now. Neil is a giant.

I love you Neil Diamond and always have. All your songs have so much meaning and touches the heart.

Wow, at 62 I’m discovering Neil Diamond! His music has been ubiquitous throughout my life but I have never actually listened to him talk! What a beautiful individual.

Gorgeous human being with the most gorgeous voice <3

What a beautiful, gentle, deep man Neil is. Saw 'The Jazz Singer' in South Africa when l was 18 yrs old and l was smitten by this beautiful man❤ Watching interviews with his smooth and sexy voice makes me feel like my soul knows him. Wish he still did tours, would love to see him before l die. Seen MJ, Prince, Tina, BB and would give anything to see him too....nostalgic music from my childhood ❤❤❤

Great interview. What a lovely human being producing some of the most memorable songs in my life’s journey. I remember when I was living in the US for a few years walking around a CVS one morning and Sweet Caroline came on in the background music and the whole store erupted into song !! It was magical. Thank you Neil. I never missed his concerts when he came to the UK and was privileged to be there at what turned out to be his last one ever although we did not know it at the time. I send him love.

Thank you Neil!

Thank you for sharing this excellent interview of Neil with Barbara Walters. It was the first time that I heard him talk so well of Marcia and his highs and lows of being in love and the experiences with her during the sixteen years at that time. Neil seems so comfortable with the great Barbara Walters.
