@FoxPlant2006 Davy does it so well but Davy did well with THIS and A Little Bit Me, You because of Diamond's rather unique bark of a voice and delivery. Davy could have recorded any number of Neil Diamond songs from this era.. Solitary Man, Cherry Cherry and done very well with them.. though I guess A Little Bit Me does seem to reuse some elements from Cherry Cherry so Neil was ahead of us in that respect!
Oh yeesh...Neil, this song is genius, thank you for writing it. I wish you had sung it earlier in your career, though! I must say I prefer the Davey Jones version. But Neil I love your stuff!
Thank Neil for this song. It is one of my favorite, because I've always used to fall in love with two women at the same time. "Told them, both that I love them, yes and that was true..."
You can tell this song was written early Neil Diamond when you listen to the Monkees version, just by the guitar style. He always useto, (and still does on the old songs) strum the muted chords, creating a kinda percussive beat. Just listen to cherry,cherry and kentucky woman and the boat the i row....even though they're all dead easy to learn, they all have the same style.
One of my biggest sorrows was when I learned that Neil wrote all those terrific songs but had to sell them off to Don Kirshner who managed the Monkees. neil badly needed the money at the time to feed his family with his then first wife Jaye Posner and his new born baby. If only neil had recorded this song back in the 60s. Maybe he did some demos? Anyone??
He does a pretty good job of it, but I'm use to Davy's rendition, so this sounds really strange. Great song though. I wondered how it would sound it he sang it.
OMG I have never seen or heard him singing this song before :O!!
HUGE thank you matd1g for uploading it!!! One of mine and my mums favourite artists!! Neil is a legend and this song is a amazing!! Gotta show my mum this :D

He was a far better song writer than singer. Davy did this better.

Great song. I heard Neil sing this at Woburn in 2005. I think that this is where this clip comes from. Am I right.or wrong?

It seems like he's trying way too hard to make it not sound like the Monkees version.

I wish he had put out a DVD of this tour, just like he did for his 2008 tour. And maybe sold it at more stores than Wal-Mart.

Of course, that's not surprising, considering...
