Just because Neil didn't write the lyrics does not mean that "Lady Magdalene" is not HIS SONG. Most artists would just toss an unsolicited song from an unknown ghost writer in the garbage. But Neil has an eye for good lyrics. He recognized that with a few little changes in the music and his golden touch that this song could be a great one. The writer was contacted and the lyrics were discussed. Mr. Diamond loved it. He bought and recorded it and made a song for the ages. Neil is my favorite.
Has any one seen or got the first cut of this album. I own it and keep in safely tucked away and bought about 100 albums (more or less) that has this song on it. On the first release (kind of rare) it says on the record that the AUTHOR IS UNKNOWN. Soon after Neil's name begins to appear as the writer. I am very fortunate to know very personally who the real writer is. And he is the same ghost writer who wrote Suzanne. Suzanne was not written by Cohen.
This vies with Holly Holy for Neil's best ever song. But there are so many others that were absolutely wonderful as well. What an amazing songwriter he is.
How can he touch my soul as no other except the ONE that should??? Never met yet deeply moved stirring emotions...doesn't seem right but real thanks Janet Sue hugs
We will never get another DIAMOND like NEIL ever again!!!!!! He is the epitome of class voice and class emotions united together to produce something called understandable music. God Bless him for providing such beautiful sounds for our ears!!!!!! LUV U NEIL, yes u r a DIAMOND and DIAMONDS r for ever.
Truly a magnificent song:)

Taken from the 'Serenade' album. This one is my favorite but there isn't a clunker in the bunch. One of Neil Diamond best efforts!!
