	Neil Diamond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941) is a Jewish American singer/songwriter who had a number of hits in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and who maintains a very loyal following with popular live performances to this day.
		Diamond was born and raised in Brooklyn, attending high school with Barbra Streisand (and singing with her in the school choir).
		The song was covered by Barbra Streisand on her album Songbird, which led one disc jockey to combine the two in a virtual duet.

		Diamond had been working on an album to be titled after a tune called "The American Popular Song," written by his pianist, Tom Hensley; the LP was to be a collection of covers.
		Diamond picked a good time to reach a career peak: His record contract was up for renewal, and he re-signed to Columbia Records in October 1981 committing himself to ten more albums at a guarantee of 30 million dollars.
		Diamond was relatively inactive on the performing front in 1983, though he did undertake a week-long series of shows at the Forum in Los Angeles in June, his first L.A. shows in six years.

	Metallian.com - King Diamond
		The vocals on this album are, on average, on a lower pitch than one is accustomed from King Diamond.
		Live albums made more sense in the '70s and '80s because video technology was limited and if a fan didn't live close to a band's touring itinerary then a live album was the only way to experience the show.
		The album is not meant as a 'best of' live thing either because there are songs that are not there, like Abigail and stuff like that, but that was not the point.

	hip online: artists: neil diamond
		Other albums from this period include Velvet Gloves and Spit (1968), Stones (1971) and Moods (1972), with hits like the #1 "Cracklin’ Rosie," "Song Sung Blue" (also #1), and "I Am...I Said." Hot August Night, a double-album recorded live at the Greek Theater in 1972 is another immortal Diamond album of the period.
		Neil Diamond won a Grammy in 1973 as composer of the Best Original Score Written For A Motion Picture ("Jonathan Livingston Seagull") and achieved one of his biggest successes with the soundtrack to the movie "The Jazz Singer," in which he starred opposite Sir Laurence Olivier.
		Interestingly, considering Diamond’s formidable reputation as the quintessential singer-songwriter, Three Chord Opera marks the first time since 1974’s Serenade in which all the words and music were written by Neil.

	Diamond's movie album bogs down (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Diamond acknowledges that he had some reservations about singing in front of a large orchestra and the experience seems to have made him cautious.
		Diamond's previous concept cover album, "Up On the Roof: Songs From the Brill Building," had 16 tunes on one disc.
		I actually liked his Brill Building tribute album, but that was a far more confident outing with some humor, a mix of songwriting styles and a willingness to play with the source material.

	December 30, 1998: The Third Degree with . . . Neil Diamond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		With a new album on the shelves in time for the holidays, pop icon Neil Diamond brings his brand of Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show to the MGM Grand Garden for two special shows Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.
		Diamond's newest release, The Movie Album: As Time Goes By, is a two-disc set on which Diamond performs 20 classic pieces of motion picture music, backed by an orchestra conducted by famed film composer-conductor Elmer Bernstein.
		It seems to me there are a lot of the same images and phrases that crop up on the album; for example love, which isn't at all strange to any music, but there are seven songs with love in the title, and night seems to be a pervasive theme as well.

		Diamond dubbed the new album Three Chord Opera as a nod to his early days as a fledgling singer/songwriter.
		The happy saga of Neil Diamond, one of the most creatively bold--and prolific--singer-songwriters to emerge in the rock era, is one American tale well worth repeating.
		Other albums from this period include Velvet Gloves and Spit(1968), Stones (1971) and Moods (1972), with hits like the #1 "Cracklin' Rosie," "Song Sung Blue" (also #1), and "I Am...I Said." Hot August Night, a double-album recorded live at the Greek Theater in 1972 is another immortal Diamond album of the period.

	Neil Diamond, Polishing His Songcraft
		Diamond, a pre-med student on a fencing scholarship, dropped out in 1960, six months and 10 credits before he would have received his degree.
		Diamond, who'd learned to play guitar after receiving one for his 14th birthday, eventually overcame his shyness to emerge as a recording artist and performer in his own right: "Cherry Cherry" would be the first of many hits; 1970's "Cracklin' Rosie" was his first No. 1.
		Diamond himself spent 14 months "locked up in my studio, writing, working from dawn till dark, six or seven days a week, trying to plumb the depths of my ability, my soul, my life and hopefully come out of it with songs that shed new light on things.

	JEWSWEEK - Cutting Diamond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Diamond began his career as a songwriter in the early 1960s in New York.
		The new record, Diamond's first studio album since "Three Chord Opera" in 2001, will not be quite like Diamond's more lavish, crooner-type studio productions, but will be reminiscent of his earlier, simpler, more down-to-earth acoustic work.
		The pair expects the new album to be released this summer.

		If you are a recent King Diamond fan from his recent stuff you have not seen his finest hour...if you are not a King Diamond fan yet, I suggest you get started with this album.
		Musically this album might be King's most melodic effort and the instrumentation includes plenty of keyboards, harpsichords, and even some acoustic guitar thrown in for good measure.
		King Diamond is his usual self on this album, spewing forth lots of falsetto screams and plenty of interesting vocal melodies.

		Album cuts range from ``I Haven't Played This Song In Years,'' one of the bleakest songs of his 35-year career, to the upbeat, gospel-influenced ``Leave A Little Room For God.'' Tour rehearsals begin ``full-blast'' on Monday, he said.
		Diamond's last show was a New Year's Eve concert in Denver in 1999.
		In the meantime, Diamond is scheduled to appear on cable channel AandE's ``Live By Request'' on July 28, when viewers will be able to call in song requests.

	Neil Diamond - February 1999 Album of the Month - The Movie Album (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Diamond's last studio album was the fine Nashville-based "Tennessee Moon," for which he was joined by guests Chet Atkins, Waylon Jennings, and Raul Malo of the Mavericks.
		This album has grown on me. I admit that I had a bias against it before I heard it, because Neil's songwriting is one of my favorite aspects of his talent.
		This album is way too melancholy for my liking - I also didn't like the arrangements he chose on various songs.(having preconceived ideas of how the songs had been sung by their original artists didn't help my listening habits).

	RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - King Diamond - The Puppet Master
		For a change the album doesn't start out with a spoken intro, but sets up the scene by looking back at the horrific events that follow a seemingly innocent show at a puppet theater in Budapest one snowy night close to christmas...
		While the album is quite accessible, it did take a few listens before the album opened up to me, but from then on it has just kept on growing.
		This album is superb and deserves nothing less than a 10...musically and thematically it's more complex then HOG or Abigail II, and easily twice as good.

	Amazon.com: Hot August Night: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		This is my favorite Neil Diamond album, one of those rare live albums that you would rather listen to than the same songs thrown together on a greatest hits collection.
		This album is not as hard a rocker, but as noted elsewhere, "Frampton Comes Alive" feels dated when you listen to it today; "Hot August Night" sounds as good, if not better, than when it was first released.
		I wish we could have a DVD of the show but the album is more than enough for me. Neal played the Winter Garden for two weeks upon his return from his 10 day stay in California and the Greek Theater.

		To me, King Diamond is supposed to be technical, melodic thrash, and Mercyful Fate is supposed to be dynamic and mysterious, classic heavy metal.
		King Diamond has searing neo-classical leads and a modern guitar sound, while Mercyful Fate had down and dirty pentatonic blues leads and a warm fuzzy, overdriven guitar tone.
		If you are a big King Diamond fan, and you haven't heard the new album by now, I suggest you drop everything and go buy it right now.

	Neil Diamond Album Overview 1981-2003
		This first CD release, as MCAD-37252, was identical in content to the audiophile album, thereby placing the remixes into general public consumption for the first time.
		It lacks the polish of his studio albums, and the richness of voice and singing range of his 70's live albums.
		It's almost depressing to hear Neil growl his way through the album with an extremely hoarse and gravelly delivery, demolishing what used to be his most beautiful songs.

		The new album due for release in late October will have a bonus DVD or CDR of King Diamond telling the story of The Puppet Master.As King describes it this album is going to make the hairs stand upon the back of listeners neck.
		Metalblade would have to take a loss on all thier bands album sales to keep them all on board so they had no choice but to cut their support for the Abigail 2 tour and on what they could offer King to record His next album with.
		According to vocalist King Diamond, the band have even been working on new material, although given Kings commitment to his solo career for the first part of 2002, it may be some while before the Fate are reunited.

		...the album stands as, if not the best of a phenomenally strong year for music, one of the most indisputably interesting pop albums of the year.

		This is the best king diamond album, forget all the others albums this is the best, many people says that abigail is the best of king diamond just forget these people and buy fatal portrait.
		As his career went on, King Diamond would use multiple singing voices on his albums, but on this one he's using the trademark falsetto about 98% of the time.
		Fatal Portrait, more than any other Diamond solo release, sounds like Mercyful Fate (thats a good thing!) If your like me, and you think albums like Abigail and Them are are silly attempts at "wanna-be" Stephen King writing and annoying horror vocals, again, Fatal Portrait is the Diamond album to own.

	Neil Diamond News: Album Review: Neil Diamond, "12 Songs" (Columbia) >> liveDaily
		By now, the story is well known: After a long courtship, producer Rick Rubin--credited with resurrecting Johnny Cash's recording career in the '90s--finally convinced Diamond to work with him to strip away the layers of glitter that have cluttered Diamond's recorded output since the '70s, and to concentrate on the songs.
		The resulting album, "12 Songs," is an intimate, low-key affair that holds together as Diamond's best played, most cohesive recording since 1976's "Beautiful Noise." Matter of fact, you'd have to go back to 1972's "Moods" to find a Diamond album with as many quality tracks.
		That's not to say that Diamond avoids his bread-and-butter altogether: "Delirious Love" and "We" are the kind of bouncy love songs that Diamond's fans have eaten up for years, critics be damned.

	King Diamond
		An unfortunate set of circumstances near the release of the album caused a tour in support of "Abigail 2" to be shelved leaving many to wonder what might have been.
		It really feels like we've been able to put all the previous elements of Kind Diamond into this one album and it was all done in pretty much the same time span.
		One thing that I wanted to change musically on this album was that I wanted to write longer guitar solos into the songs that what I am used to putting in there.

	King Diamond
		You can't really hear that on the album either and that's because the chemistry we have between us is so good.
		We will always hopefully be able to put new aspects into the music, but there is a certain aura and frame that Mercyful Fate belongs in and within that frame there are still a lot of corners that haven't been explored yet.
		All the King Diamond albums have stories that touch very deep on the human mind and human nature.

		King Diamond has been busy with the King Diamond band for some time, since Mercyful Fates GREAT "9" album in 1999.
