  • He is teaching Christians how to be real Christians and how to give to those who need help. He too needed salvation. I love this song because I was raised in rural Carolina and we often attended tent meetings. The sick were healed, the lamed walked, the blind were made to see, and the deaf to hear. I saw it with my own two eyes. People brought pot lunch. The meetings sometimes lasted for days.

  • for my money it's his best song

  • Simply AWESOME!!!!!

  • Linda Press always had MY dream job!

  • Great voice - consistently a great performance...

  • ZOMG Charlie Murphey is the drummer!

  • I am singing back up tomorrow for this song, i hope to be this good!!

  • Congratulations, Neil, on your induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame- took over 40 years- it's about time you got recognized. This is a fantastic performance, showing what an entertainer he is.

  • That is one of the best songs ever!!!!!

  • He Just hasn't got what it takes on this song I find. Chorus is bad.

  • He is to be called Mister Diamond from now on...<3 <3

  • I have seen 4 of his shows and you just can't keep yourself in your seat. He is the best and has been for the past 40 years.

  • @dao3rd AMEN, Brother! :)

    

  • i'm no fag but i love neil diamond

  • @butteroffdead You missed the point of his song then. "Rich and poor, Black and white, Gay and Straight..." If you had gotten Neil and were a real fan...you wouldn't have used that word.

  • Me and my husband are fixing to take a long needed vacation this is one song we are going to take with us!! Anyone with any suggestions on songs i can find that is similar would love to hear from you like all music styx,foreigner,a lot of oldies just call us from the old school. Been married 32 wonderful yrs,still feels like we just met.

  • My Lord, I believe Neil Diamond keeps getting better & better with every performance. Neil is absolutely the best live performer on the planet today! Why can't we make more music like this rather than the "perverted filthy junk" record companies are churning out today.

  • I really enjoy his videos. He puts so much soul into his songs.

  • Aint that what hes there for......? Reach out!

  • Neil will always and forever be the BEST singer and performer...this song should be this countrys Anhtem...We are God's children all...enough said

  • I've been a fan for a long time...he still has the power to sing this song, though it was great seeing him perform it when he was a little younger.. I saw him in concert a few years ago in Toronto..wow it was memorable!. this diamond really shone that night..not to mention sparkled as he was wearing his sequined vest...

  • @judyrusso girl i know what you mean. Neil can captivate a crowd like no one else. I am lucky enough to have seen him twice here in Massachusetts. So yeah I can totally agree with you

  • Tell me, is this not the most awesome ever? Neil Diamond kicks the ass of all these so called poo stars..(take THAT lady gaga)...Neil is , and always will be, a legend

  • Great Great

  • my mother tells me that my first concert ever was neil diamond. she was pregnant at the time with me, and i've loved his music since i was a kid. and yet i just discovered this song a couple years ago.

    and boy am i glad i did. it's now my favorite neil diamond song. so much charisma, such fervor, such...power, in the song. the lyrics, the performance...neil is the greatest.

  • reach out your hand... that's what it's there for, baby

  • Amen!

  • THIS is why I love Neil Diamond.....Rich and poor, Black and white..Gay and straight..We are ALL God's Children!!!!

  • This is one of my favorite songs because of the part "black and white, rich & poor, gay & straight, great & small...we are God's children all"..AWESOME!!

    It's really sad that more people & more religions don't believe & feel as Neil Diamond does. It's pretty sad when an entertainer has to lead the way in morals, values, anti-bigotry & not discriminating against people that aren't like them or don't believe as they do.

    Neil Diamond is a great man & entertainer..I've seen him 8-9 times now!!

  • Very well said...many would do well to follow Neil's philosophy, and this is def a great song...I actually just put it on a CD of music I made for a fellow DJ @ my radio station, along w/a couple of his other hits (Sweet Caroline and Solitary Man, the latter being a song I've often related to! LOL).

  • Utah....well said!

  • back in the 70's disc jockeys didn't know how to categorize his music nor did they understand why concert goers liked him so much - my first recollection of "chrasima" was used to describe him - he is captivating on stage

  • I went to a Neil Diamond concert in Auckland, NZ. many years ago, I have never seen any artist control a crowd like he does. This remains my favourite ND song.

  • I sooooo agree Neil can work a crowd like no one else and this is my FAVE Neil song...he basically owns the crowd everytime huh?

  • I find that funny too. You'd think that it would be played at the Yankees Stadium, or the Mets Stadium, whichever was closer to Brooklyn.

  • Being from Worcester, Mass myself, I love that "Sweet Caroline" is sung at fenway. Basically we told New York that Neil belongs to Massachusetts. Sexyangelstarr My condolences about your mom and I agree he can work a crowd like no one else

  • Oh on a side note: I found it funny that Sweet Caroline is played at Red Sox Games. GO SOX sorry Ny fans had to throw that in there lol

  • ashleybound and everyone else, i so agree Neil can sing like crazy and can work a crowd like no one else. My Mom (R.I.P.) took me to see him in worcester and what a show!

  • one powerfull voice

  • i cant spell either lmao

  • im 52 and he has one o the captivaing voicea i have ever heard

  • my fav!

  • Everytime i hear this song, its just soooooo uplifting.......he knows how to work a crowd!

  • AWESOME...HE'S STILL GOT IT!

  • lo primero que me enseñaron al venir a estados unidos fue esta cancion en mi clase de speech...gracias mrs. whitehawk!!!....ooo sorry thank you

  • que gran cancion,para un gran musico.

  • Makes my glitchy heart glad lol. better go take my meds :)

  • I love Neil. What a man!

  • Omg This is my favorite neil diamond song! Im only 24 but I grew listening to him because of my mom

  • this is my favorite too... Neil is the man... dont worry lol im only 21 and i love him too. yet i didnt grow up listening to him LMAO both my parents dont really care for him.

  • I grew up listening to him too...my parents had a bunch of his albums. This is one of my favorites of his.

  • Wow!!! Neil is so amazing he is so old, but still knows how to give a good show...You go Neil!!! I want to see him in concert sometime when he comes to Sacramento.

  • Reminds me of my Dad. He loved this song and would sing it on the top of his lungs (only when he had a few) Only had it on the Neil Diamond Gold live album though so it was in a much faster tempo then the studio version.

  • always a fun song to listen to

  • I respect your opinion really, here's mine: I thought David A. is more talented & good @re-arranging songs etc..He can sing anyting. I like David Cook as well but I just don't see him singing Ballad, pop or R&B songs :{ when he sung ALW song you could still hear & see his style as a rocker, his voice is good too but still a Rocker to me. David A. still young, his voice & style will only get even better in yrs. to come :}

  • archuleta was far more well-rounded. look up the videos on here when he was a kid and won star search. he was absolutely phemomenal. he puts cook to shame.

  • Been thinking that all this time as well about David Cook. I want him to win, he should, he is the most versatile talent wise. I think he can bring the house down with this song. I grew up with Neil Diamond and have to say, song writing is not the same without these old timers. They still can bring out the crowd.

  • majesticbob2007, I so agree with you. David Cook all the way.

  • Have to say, I don't see why David A. is up there, he is so boring, ballad after ballad. David C. as with Carly could perform. David Cook has that talent to be able to do it all, be entertaining. If he doesn't win, American Idol is not a talent show, its a personality contest. David Cook I think can do alot of Neil's song very good, like to even see him do Holly Holy.

  • You like DC and that's OK, but for you to degrade DA at the same time and say that he is boring and that you don't see why he is there is classless. This year's American Idol show would be lame without Archuleta. There is a way to compliment Cook without putting down others. There is no need for that.

  • One of my ALL TIME favorites..Seen him in concert 3 times..First was at AUBURN UNIVERSITY (The REAL University of Alabama)when I was in school there.

  • Keep on dreamin'. lol Roll TIDE ROLL!

    I agree with you about Diamond. He is one of the best! Glad to see the American Idols will be performing his music next week! I'm hoping David Cook does this song.

  • Neil still rocks big time

  • One of the greatest songs of all time!

  • never listen to him until i said david spade in a movie do him his voice is awsome but his body moves are all wrong should have doneit 30 years ago

  • same here....thats where i first heard of neil diamond

  • same here....thats where i first heard of neil diamond

  • He DID do it 30 years ago!!! And still going strong.

  • Have seen Neil Diamond 5 times in concert ... he is awesome. Would gladly pay 500 more times if I had the opportunity to see him.

  • Neil rocks my face off!

  • when NEIL does this song in concert the whole place ROCKS , STARTING SOFT AND SLOW LIKE A SMALL EARTH QUAKE , AND WHEN HE LETS GO HALF THE VALLEY SHAKES , 1 OF THE BEST CONCERTS I HAVE EVER SEEN

  • Neil is Simply the Best show on earth...PLEASE TOUR SOON........

  • I have prayed for you for decades....you know Jesus....you singing proves it .....COME TO JESUS.......Neil my heart is blessed....rock on ....see you in heaven....ONE

  • COME TO JESUS!!!!!!You "ROCK". Is that what they say these days NEIL!!!!!!! Missed you!!!!)ONE

  • Saw him in San Diego I think 2 years ago.He brought down the house! DO NOT miss him if you ever get another chance to see him,he is better than ever!

  • After all these years, Neil has still got it! Saw him in concert a couple years ago, and let me tell you, he's still got it! If u get the chance, go to a show, u won't be sorry! This is CLASS with SOUL!

  • Neil still rocks!  Love him.

  • Yeah, you gotta quit while your ahead, it's

    embarassing.

  • you're embarassing - listen to his new CD 12 Songs 1995 = best music I've heard in ages and best ND music in 15 years -

  • I love this song in Lost and Found with David Spade!!! David Spade is hilarious

  • NEIL ROCKS!!! Can't wait to see him in concert again soon! He does an excellent job for being 66 years old!

  • Nice to see the crowds enjoying it, and Neil Diamond giving it his all, but the voice is disintegrating. He's resorting to talking and yelling through the songs now. Listen to older live songs. At least the world didn't have to see Jim Morrision get old.

  • Funny, he still sounds and looks good to me!!

  • this manchilf of God is fantistic at any age...voice, soul, deep soul lyrics and all...wiadom comes with age...in this case...he is timeless...thanks for the post....

  • Morrison was an arrogant drunk who terrorized his bandmembers The Doors and didn't respect himself enough to do anything more than disinigrate on stage as a performer, as a singer and as a person all accomplished WHEN HE WAS YOUNG!!!- by '70-'71 he sucked in concert barely able to stand much less perform anything listenable -

    no we didn't see Jim Morrison get old

    ---but read John Densmore's book Riders on the Storm

    and man - being around him sure got old!

  • That is his inner soul you hear....

  • The Best!!!! Neil's talent is Awesome!!!!

    Anyone who's feeling down oughtta listen to listen to some of his stuff or watch these clips--you can't help but feel better!

  • Rock on Neil,you are awesome as always!!

  • Thanks for posting. Neil puts on the best one man show!

  • When I saw him, it was two hours of continuous songs, one after another, his band did one song while he had a drink mid concert, if you get the chance, go.

  • I love Neil, in 2004 in Dallas great show I even went for the too shows :-) He Rocks!!!

  • ^_^! Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for a Neil Diamond video.

  • I've always liked this song. I hope to see Neil in concert sometime. He has so many great songs.

  • The real King of Pop

  • ...thank you very much...

  • One of my faves "live"... :)
