This one brings back lots of memories, Sally. I was seventeen years old in 1967. It was the year of Canada's Centennial. There were lots of parties and dances and beauty pageants. A great year all 'round. Thanks for sharing.

One again I enjoyed venturing into your record or music collection. I've liked most things I've heard from Neil Diamond. This was a new one for me and it seemed different from most I'd heard by I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Sally,

Wow, you have so much enthusiasm in this write!
It was like taking a trip back in time watching that video. I was 10 and not as music saavy as you.

Fantastic #45 favorite and presentation you've offered here. While living in the Netherlands they really loved Sweet Caroline and had Neil impersonators.

Thanks,
AnnaLinda

Oh, God, Sally you bring back so many memories. 1967 seems a lifetime ago and, of course, it is. Neil Diamond has always been one of my favourites. Well written and well done. Ulla:)))

Hello Sally.

Neil Diamond certainly is a talented composer and performer. He has had staying power and his music will be performed long into the future. I remember reading many years ago that he and Barbara Streisand went to HS together in Brooklyn.

Neil diamond had some great hits. I enjoyed your tribute to his song here--one of your favorites, Sally, The two videos are worth watching--esp for anyone not familiar with the song--like me. Your words are well thought out. NDiamond retired a few months ago (not sure of the date) due to Parkinson's.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I'm enjoying your jukeboxes. I remember American Bandstand. I was on a local version of that back in the '50s. But I was really trained for ballroom dancing.

Thank you for this blast from the past. Have not thought about him in a long long time, but the songs still rock my memories. Well coordinated with the you tube. Lot of things have changed. Loren
