Seven Classic Neil Diamond Songs
1: Forever In Blue Jeans
Not just a song to feature in jean commercials, "Forever In Blue Jeans" is a classic, easy going song you'll find yourself toe-tappin' along. From the You Don't Bring Me Flowers album, "Forever In Blue Jeans" is a classic song that feels as good as putting on your favorite pair of dungarees.
2: Solitary Man
Neil Diamond started out writing songs for others, with one of our favorite being The Monkees, but "Solitary Man" was Diamond's first release as a recording artist.
Originally from his debut album, The Feel of Neil Diamond, "Solitary Man" has been covered by several artists since. You can also find it on many of his collections, including The Banger Years (1966 - 1968).
With its wonderful melody and melancholy lyrics, we have no doubt that after you give it a listen you'll cover the song on your own in your car, living room, or anywhere else you deem fit.

From the album Tap Root Manuscript "Cracklin' Rosie" was Neil Diamond's first American #1 hit on Billboard's Hot 100. Many people think the song is about a woman, but it's about a type of wine. No matter what the song is about, it's a great jam any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
7: I'm A Believer
"I'm a Believer" is one of Neil Diamond's biggest hits. Originally recorded for the album Just For You, the song gained worldwide recognition after it was covered by The Monkees in 1966. To date it was one of only 40 songs to ever sell 10 million physical copies worldwide. If that's not enough to convince you, a cover of the song was featured in Shrek.
