In 2011, he was an honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors, and he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Laurels in 2018.[iii]

Early life and education [edit]

Diamond was built-in in Brooklyn, New York, to a Jewish family. All four of his grandparents were immigrants, from Poland on his father's side and Russian federation on his female parent'southward.[iv] [v] [6] [vii] [8] His parents were Rose (née Rapoport) and Akeeba "Kieve" Diamond, a dry-appurtenances merchant.[9] [x] He grew up in several homes in Brooklyn, having too spent iv years in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where his father was stationed in the army.[11] In Brooklyn he attended Erasmus Hall Loftier School[12] and was a member of the Freshman Chorus and Choral Lodge, along with classmate Barbra Streisand;[10] : 155 Diamond recalled they were not close friends at the time: "We were 2 poor kids in Brooklyn. Nosotros hung out in the front of Erasmus High and smoked cigarettes."[13] After his family moved to Brighton Embankment,[14] [15] he attended Abraham Lincoln High Schoolhouse[16] [17] and was a member of the fencing team.[11] Besides on the team was his all-time friend, future Olympic fencer Herb Cohen.[18] [19]

For his 16th altogether, he received his start guitar.[xx] When he was 16 and nonetheless in loftier schoolhouse, Diamond spent a number of weeks at Surprise Lake Army camp,[21] : 21 a camp for Jewish children in upstate New York, when folk singer Pete Seeger performed a small concert.[22] Seeing the widely recognized singer perform, and watching other children singing songs for Seeger that they wrote themselves, had an firsthand outcome on Diamond, who then became aware of the possibility of writing his ain songs. "And the next thing, I got a guitar when nosotros got back to Brooklyn, started to take lessons and well-nigh immediately began to write songs," he said.[22] He added that his attraction to songwriting was the "outset real interest" he had growing up, while also helping him release his youthful "frustrations".[22]

Diamond also used his newly developing skill to write poetry. By writing poems for girls he was attracted to in school, he soon learned it often won their hearts. His male classmates took notation and began asking him to write poems for them, which they would sing and utilize with equal success.[x] : 10 He spent the summer post-obit his graduation as a waiter in the Catskills resort expanse. At that place he commencement met Jaye Posner, who would years after get his wife.[21] : 26

Diamond next attended New York University equally a pre-med major on a fencing scholarship, once again on the fencing team with Herb Cohen.[23] [24] [b] He was a member of the 1960 NCAA men's championship fencing team.[25] Often bored in class, he found writing song lyrics more to his liking. He began cutting classes and taking the train up to Can Pan Alley, where he tried to get some of his songs heard by local music publishers.[22] In his senior yr, when he was just ten units curt of graduation, Sunbeam Music Publishing offered him a 16-week job writing songs for $50 a week (equivalent to about U.s.$430 per week, in 2020 dollars[26]), and he dropped out of college to take it.[22] [c]

Career [edit]

1960s [edit]

Diamond was non rehired afterwards his 16 weeks with Sunbeam, and he began writing and singing his own songs for demos. "I never really chose songwriting," he says. "It just captivated me and became more than and more important in my life."[22] His first recording contract was billed every bit "Neil and Jack", an Everly Brothers-blazon duet with high school friend Jack Packer.[xi] They recorded the unsuccessful singles "You Are My Beloved at Last" with "What Will I Practice", and "I'one thousand Afraid" with "Till You lot've Tried Love", both records released in 1962. Cashbox and Billboard magazines gave all four sides fantabulous reviews, and Diamond signed with Columbia Records as a solo performer later in 1962. In July 1963, Columbia released the unmarried "At Night" with "Clown Town"; Billboard gave an excellent review to Clown Boondocks, and Cashbox gave both sides excellent reviews, but information technology all the same failed to make the charts. Columbia dropped him from their label and he went dorsum to writing songs in and out of publishing houses for the next 7 years.

He wrote wherever he could, including on buses, and used an upright piano above the Birdland Club in New York City. One of the causes of this early nomadic life as a songwriter was his songs' wordiness: "I'd spent a lot of time on lyrics, and they were looking for hooks, and I didn't really understand the nature of that," he says.[22] He was able to sell only almost ane song a calendar week during those years, barely enough to survive on. He found himself only earning enough to spend 35 cents a day on food (U.s.$three in 2020 dollars[26]).[22] Simply the privacy that he had above the Birdland Lodge allowed him to focus on writing without distractions. "Something new began to happen. I wasn't under the gun, and suddenly interesting songs began to happen, songs that had things none of the others did."[22] Among them were "Cherry, Cherry" and "Solitary Man". "Solitary Homo" was the showtime record that Diamond recorded under his ain proper noun which made the charts. It remains one of his personal all-time favorites, equally it was about his early years equally a songwriter, even though he failed to realize it at the time. He describes the song as "an outgrowth of my despair".[x] : 37

Diamond spent his early career in the Brill Edifice. His first success as a songwriter came in November 1965 with "Sunday and Me", a Elevation 20 hit for Jay and the Americans. Greater success followed with "I'm a Believer", "A Piffling Bit Me, a Little Bit You", "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)", and "Love to Love", all performed by the Monkees. He wrote and recorded the songs for himself, but the cover versions were released before his own.[28] The unintended consequence was that Diamond began to gain fame every bit a songwriter. "I'm a Laic" became a gilded tape within ii days of its release and stayed at the top of the charts for seven weeks, making information technology the Popular Music Song of the Year in 1966.[10] : 44

"And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind" brought covers from Elvis Presley (who besides interpreted "Sugariness Caroline") and Marking Lindsay, former lead vocalist for Paul Revere & the Raiders. Other notable artists who recorded his early songs were the English difficult-stone band Deep Royal, Lulu, and Cliff Richard.[d]

In 1966, Diamond signed a deal with Bert Berns's Blindside Records, then a subsidiary of Atlantic. His get-go release on that label was "Lone Man", which was his first truthful striking every bit a solo creative person.[e] Diamond followed with "Crimson, Cherry" and "Kentucky Adult female".[10] : 37 His early concerts featured him opening for bands such equally Herman'due south Hermits and the Who.[10] : 45 As a guest performer with The Who, he was shocked to see Pete Townshend swinging his guitar similar a club and then throwing it confronting walls and off the phase until the instrument's neck broke.[10] : 46

Diamond began to feel restricted by Bang Records because he wanted to record more ambitious, introspective music, such as "Brooklyn Roads" from 1968. Berns wanted to release "Kentucky Woman" as a single, simply Diamond was no longer satisfied writing simple pop songs, and then he proposed "Shilo", which was non about the Civil War but rather an imaginary childhood friend. Blindside believed that the song was non commercial enough, so information technology was relegated to existence an LP track on "Just for You". Diamond was too dissatisfied with his royalties and tried to sign with another record characterization after discovering a loophole in his contract that did not demark him exclusively to either Spider web 4 or Tallyrand, but the result was a serial of lawsuits that coincided with a slump in his record sales and professional success. A magistrate refused Web IV'south request for a temporary injunction to prevent Diamond from joining another tape visitor while his contract dispute connected in courtroom, merely the lawsuits persisted until February 18, 1977, when he triumphed in court and purchased the rights to his Bang-era master tapes.[ten] : 51 [30]

On March xviii, 1968, Diamond signed a deal with Uni Records;[30] the label was named after Universal Pictures, the owner of which, MCA Inc., later consolidated its labels into MCA Records (at present called Universal Music after merging with PolyGram in 1999). His debut anthology for Uni/MCA was Velvet Gloves and Spit, produced by Tom Catalano, which did non chart, and he recorded the follow-up Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Bear witness at American Sound Studios in Memphis with Tommy Cogbill and Chips Moman producing.[30]

1970s [edit]

In belatedly 1969, he moved to Los Angeles. His sound mellowed with such songs as "Sweet Caroline" (1969), "Holly Holy" (1969), "Cracklin' Rosie" (1970) and "Song Sung Bluish" (1972), the concluding ii reaching No. i on the Hot 100. "Sweet Caroline" was Diamond'southward first major hit after his slump. In 2007 Diamond said he had written "Sweetness Caroline" for Caroline Kennedy after seeing her on the embrace of Life in an equestrian riding outfit,[31] just in 2014 he said in an interview on the Today Testify that it was written for his then wife, Marcia. He could not find a skilful rhyme with the proper noun "Marcia" so used the name Caroline.[32] [33] Information technology took him just 1 hour, in a Memphis hotel, to write and compose it. The 1971 release "I Am...I Said" was a Height v hitting in both the US and UK and was his nearly intensely personal effort to date, taking over four months to complete.[34]

In 1971, Diamond played 7 sold-out concerts at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. The outdoor theater, which was noted for showcasing the best of current entertainers, added a stereo sound system for the first time. Diamond was also backed past a 35-piece string orchestra and six bankroll singers.[ten] : 86 After the first night, one leading paper called information technology "the finest concert in Greek Theater history."[10] : 87

I accept a love-detest relationship with songwriting. I love it considering information technology's so satisfying...when it works. I hate it considering it forces you lot to dig inside yourself. It is without question the most difficult matter I do.

Performing, on the other mitt, is the nigh joyful and happiest affair I practice. The bigger the audition the more than anticipation, the more excitement.

Neil Diamond, 1977[35]

In August 1972, he played again at the Greek, this time doing 10 shows. When the bear witness was outset appear, tickets at the 5000-seat theater sold out rapidly.[10] : 93 He added a quadraphonic sound organisation for his performance to create full environment-sound. The operation of Baronial 24, 1972, was recorded and released as the alive double album Hot August Nighttime. Hot August Night demonstrates Diamond's skills equally a performer and showman, as he reinvigorated his dorsum catalogue of hits with new free energy. Diamond recalled: "Hot August Nighttime captures a very special show for me. Nosotros went all out to really knock 'em dead in L.A."[10] : 93 Many consider it his all-time piece of work; critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Hot August Night "the ultimate Neil Diamond record... [which] shows Diamond the icon in full glory."[36] The album became a classic, and was remastered in 2000 with additional selections. In Australia, which at the fourth dimension had the most Neil Diamond fans per capita of whatsoever country,[x] : 94 the album ranked No. i for 29 weeks and stayed in their top 20 bestsellers for 2 years.[x] : 94 [37]

In the fall of 1972, Diamond performed for twenty consecutive nights at the Wintertime Garden Theater in New York Metropolis.[ten] : 95 That theater had non staged a one-man show since Al Jolson in the 1930s.[10] : 95 The approximately one,600-seat Broadway venue provided an intimate concert setting not common at the time, with every performance reportedly sold out.[10] : 95 Information technology as well made Diamond the first rock-era star to headline on Broadway.[10] : 95 The review in the New York Times stated:

Neil Diamond's one-human prove seemed, on the face of it, to be a brash idea. Ane-man shows accept traditionally been associated with talents like Judy Garland and Danny Kaye. Merely Mr. Diamond is conspicuously a brash immature man and 1 with both the musical track record and the operation macho to bring it off...He needn't worry about comparisons with the likes of Garland and Kaye.[10] : 95

Afterwards the Winter Garden shows, Diamond announced that he needed a break, and he engaged in no more live performances till 1976. He used those 4 years to work on the score for Hall Bartlett's film version of Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull and to record 2 albums, Serenade and Beautiful Dissonance. He said years after, "I knew I'd come back, only I wasn't certain when. I spent ane year on each of those albums...I'd been on the road half dozen years. I had a son two½ and I felt he needed me more than the audition did. Then for 4 years I devoted myself to my son Jesse." He also said he needed to become back to having a private life, one where he could be bearding.[35]

In 1973, Diamond switched labels over again, returning to Columbia Records for a million-dollar-advance-per-album contract (almost US$5.8 1000000 per album in 2020 dollars[26]).[30] His first project, released as a solo album, was the soundtrack to Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The movie received hostile reviews and did poorly at the box office, and the album grossed more than the pic did. Richard D. Bach, writer of the best-selling source story, disowned the film, and he and Diamond sued Bartlett, though for differing reasons; in Bach's instance, it was because he felt the film omitted too much from the original novella, whereas in Diamond's instance, it was considering he felt the film had butchered his score. "After 'Jonathan,'" Diamond declared, "I vowed never to get involved in a motion-picture show once more unless I had consummate control." Bartlett angrily responded to Diamond's lawsuit by criticizing his music as having become "likewise slick...and it'due south not as much from his centre as information technology used to be." Bartlett too added, "Neil is extraordinarily talented. Often his arrogance is just a cover for the lone and insecure person underneath."[38]

Despite the controversy surrounding the film, the soundtrack was a success, peaking at No. ii on the Billboard albums chart. Diamond besides won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and a Grammy Award for All-time Score Soundtrack Album for a Movement Picture.[30] Thereafter, Diamond frequently included a Jonathan Livingston Seagull suite in his live performances, equally he did in his 1976 "Beloved at the Greek" concert and for his show in Las Vegas that same year.[39]

Diamond returned to alive shows in 1976 with an Australian tour, "The 'Give thanks Yous Australia' Concert", which was circulate to 36 television outlets nationwide. He also again appeared at the Greek Theater in a 1976 concert, Love at the Greek.

He began wearing colorful beaded shirts in concert, originally and so that everyone in the audition could encounter him without binoculars.[41] Bill Whitten designed and made the shirts for Diamond from the 1970s till approximately 2007.[42]

In 1974, Diamond released the anthology Serenade, from which "Longfellow Serenade" and "I've Been This Way Before" were issued every bit singles. The latter had been intended for the Jonathan Livingston Seagull score, but Diamond had completed it too tardily for inclusion.

The show played through July 5 and drew sold-out crowds at the 7,500-seat theater. A "who'south who" of Hollywood attended opening night, ranging from Elizabeth Taylor to Chevy Chase, and Diamond walked out on phase to a standing ovation. He opened the show with a story about an ex-girlfriend who dumped him before he became successful. His atomic number 82-in line to the start song of the evening was, "Yous may have dumped me a fleck as well soon, baby, because look who's standing hither tonight."

He performed at Woburn Abbey on July two, 1977, to an audition of 55,000 British fans. The concert and interviews were taped by film manager William Friedkin, who used six cameras to capture the performance.[44]

In 1977, Diamond released I'm Glad Yous're Here With Me This evening, including "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", for which he equanimous the music and on the writing of whose lyrics he collaborated with Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman. Barbra Streisand covered the song on her album Songbird, and after, a Diamond-Streisand duet was recorded, spurred past the success of radio mash-ups. That version hitting No. 1 in 1978, his third song to top the Hot 100. They appeared unannounced at the 1980 Grammy awards ceremony, where they performed the song to a surprised and rapturous audience.[45]

His terminal 1970s album was September Forenoon, which included a new version of "I'm a Believer". It and "Cerise Ruby-red Wine" are his all-time-known original songs fabricated more famous by other artists. In February 1979, the uptempo "Forever in Blue Jeans", co-written and jointly composed with his guitarist, Richard Bennett, was released every bit a single from You Don't Bring Me Flowers, Diamond's album from the previous year.[46]

In 1979, Diamond complanate on stage in San Francisco and was taken to the infirmary, where he endured a 12-60 minutes operation to remove what turned out to be a tumor on his spine.[47] He said he had been losing feeling in his right leg "for a number of years simply ignored it." When he collapsed, he had no strength in either leg.[47] He underwent a long rehabilitation process just before starting principal photography on his moving picture The Jazz Singer (1980).[48] He was so convinced he was going to dice that he wrote cheerio letters to his friends.[47]

1980s [edit]

A planned picture show version of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" to star Diamond and Streisand fell through when Diamond instead starred in a 1980 remake of the Al Jolson archetype The Jazz Singer alongside Laurence Olivier and Lucie Arnaz. Though the movie received poor reviews, the soundtrack spawned 3 Top ten singles, "Love on the Rocks", "Hello Over again", and "America", the terminal of which had emotional significance for Diamond. "'America' was the story of my grandparents," he told an interviewer. "It's my gift to them, and it'due south very real for me ... In a way, it speaks to the immigrant in all of us."[21] : 89 The song was performed in full by Diamond during the film's finale.[49] An abbreviated version played over the motion picture'southward opening titles.

The song was also the ane he was most proud of, partly because of when it was later used: national news shows played it when the hostages were shown returning home after the Iran earnest crunch concluded; it was played on the air during the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Freedom;[fifty] and at a tribute to slain ceremonious rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., also equally the Vietnam Vets Welcome Home concert, he was asked to perform it live. At the time, a national poll found the song to exist the number-one near recognized vocal about America, more than than "God Bless America".[11] It also became the anthem of his world bout ii weeks later on the attacks on America on September xi, 2001, when he inverse the lyric at the end from; "They're coming to America", to "Stand for America!" Earlier that yr he performed it afterward a request from former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.[51]

The moving picture's failure was due in function to Diamond never having acted professionally before.

Critic David Wild noted that the moving-picture show showed that Diamond was open up well-nigh his religion: "Who else simply this Jewish Elvis could get multi-platinum with an album that featured a version of 'the Kol Nidre?'"[eleven] [52] Diamond later told the Los Angeles Times, "For me, this was the ultimate bar mitzvah."[21] : 85

Some other Height 10 selection, "Heartlight", was inspired by the blockbuster 1982 movie E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Though the picture show's championship grapheme is never mentioned in the lyrics, Universal Pictures, which had released Eastward.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and was the parent visitor of the Uni Records label, by and then called MCA Records, for which Diamond had recorded for years, briefly threatened legal activeness against both Diamond and Columbia Records.
