Neil Diamond - I'm a Believer (1967 & 1979 versions)

[tedibair]

Whilst it sounds like Neil... there isnt a great deal of difference between this version and the Monkees... As I heard the Monkees version first I think I lean towards that one... However, you always manage to find a song sung by a second singer that I have NEVER heard before... thats what makes your channel always exciting..

Thanks tc... please dont stop!!! Bubba

@tedibair Hi thanks for your comments, not just on this but the other 3 videos on YT. I think i will check Neil's website and see if i can find the answer there.

@tedibair Neil Diamond isn't the "second singer", he's the original. He wrote the song.

Thankx for a memory from childhood. But who was the first-ND or The Monkees?

@Irin828 Hello happy you enjoyed it. I'm not to sure. I hope someone can answer this.

@tenniscollector I'm not sure?  Neil Diamond wrote the song. I'd say Neil Diamond was the first.
