 |
I make this video is for my Yahoo! 360 Blog,
My favourite music, My music world ... A
tribute to Neil Diamond ...
Artist: Neil Diamond
Album: Neil Diamond/His 12 Greatest Hits
Song: Sweet Caroline
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

| Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline (Kennedy) at the Greek Theatre |
 |
READ THIS: Dennis Morgan began working with
Neil when he ran the San Francisco office for
MCA/Universal Music Group. Neil appeared
regularly at the Circle Star Theatre in San
Mateo. And they were the most sought after
highly prized 'ticket-comps' Morgan had in
his promotion arsenal for use with the radio
and press crowd.
Truth be told, he probably generated more
airplay and press in the Bay Area for
other--more needy Universal recording artists
by leveraging Neil Diamond concert tix.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, Neil was one the
more successful rock music performers,
scoring an extraordinary number of charted
hits. Morgan recalls how distressed his
mentors at Uni Records were (Russ Regan, Pat
Pipilo, and Rick Frio) when Neil decided to
leave the label and sign with Columbia
Records/Sony Music. At the time, there may
have been a turf battle underway in the
corporate suite--especially after the late
Artie Mogul and his A&R staff headed by Don
Shane signed Andy Kim (Sugar, Sugar) who had
reinvented himself in the image of Neil
Diamond with the mid-chart hit single, 'Rock
Me Gently'. In the end, Columbia Records won
simply by making an offer Neil couldn't
refuse.
As critic William Ruhlmann once wrote: "Neil
Diamond claims worldwide record sales of over
140 million copies, and he was ranked third,
behind only Elton John and Barbara
Streisand." Neil's songs have been recorded
by a vast array of performers from all
musical genres.
He posted the 'Sweet Caroline (Kennedy), Live
at the Greek Theatre' video as a reminder
that Neil has been continually passed over
for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame since his eligibility in 1989. And that
is a damn shame.
Special Note: Very cool that Neil recently
disclosed that his inspiration for this tune
was Caroline Kennedy.
From the forthcoming Dennis Morgan
semi-autobiography, 'All The Dark Horses; All
The Kings Men'.
