Please don't judge all American tastes based on what some consultants or radio programmers said was good music. I worked in radio at the time and played this song as it it was a hit. Sure sounds like it to me.
A top 10 smash hit in Australia in 1979. Totally ignored by American radio stations who think they know everything about music and what people should listen to. This is an allt-time favourite. His other great track, LOVING YOU AGAIN was also ignored by America. It was also a brilliant track. Who can understand yankee taste?

Actually Diamonds was one of Chris' few charting singles in the US wasn't it? Made the top 50 at least
Chris never regained the success he had with "Fool" and What Ever Happened.
