Back in the day we were all pretty shy at dances but when this song started everyone got up and danced. I know many of us back then can attribute speeding tickets to this song. If you add the Diamond's "Little Darlin" there were car wrecks.
I love this song and always have! I grew up in the 70's and this is one of my favorites!
I even named my little pomeranian dog after this song. She is actually named "Diamond Girl!" I often sing it to her and she loves it! Great song of the 70's!
To ALL the ladies I ever called a friend whether they be younger, my age, or older NO matter what diversity they are, I would give them a big diamond if I could. This video epitomizes that.
I'm not a "playa", just that I've seen stupid, jackass men who had good women and messed up and STILL messing up with them not realizing what they had OR have.
This is one of those songs from my childhood that I heard...alot...never knew the words but always tried to sing along to. Imagine a 5 year old in the back seat singing ... loud daaadaadaa you shoooess do shine, my mother loved it, she would show her friends. greattt timess. Us adults with little ones need to help our kids have memories like this.
Diamond Girl is the pop/folk duo Seals and Crofts' fifth studio album, and was one of the best sellers of the year, thanks largely to the title track, which made it to #6 on Billboard's hot 100 in the spring. It's a jazzy, minor-key shuffle with a walking bass line that was obviously heavily influenced by Van Morrison's Moondance. The follow-up single "We May Never Pass This Way Again" was also very popular, reaching #21 later in the year.
Such a beautiful song...does anyone know the story behind this song? Was this written for someone in particular? Wow...wish someone would write such a beautiful song for/about me.
I've listened to the song no less than a thousand times. Just seems like it was written definitely about someone in particular, maybe even hints of a break up, or an instance of an unspoken love; and the images of aloofness (not a word) are regret of not being able to hold on to a woman of such magnitude. But I'm only 27, what do I know?
That was for 2president2, and so is this: when we have a new clean energy economy, where will you be? With us, or wallowing in filthy dirty air that you don't seem to care that you and we all breathe? I fear that you are in denial about the dangers of pollution, along with so many others. I wish you would join us.
I don't regard Liz Taylor,Audrey Hepburn or Iman as anything approaching "Diamond Girls"! Audrey Hepburn was the worst,most incompotent actress ever to trod on a stage and Liz and Iman are nothing more than fag hags!
hey pig...sorry you feel that way about Audrey Hepburn (she had class, maybe not the best actress ever). you must be really tightly wound to rip on someone like that. I'm so happy to not be like you. Thanks and bite me.
2president2...I notice you like Supertramp. I'm also so happy to not be like you and olympigs 2010. well, thanks for making my day. you guys crack me up.
Hard to find a quality rep of this great song. some of the others had the t.table dragging. Now I don't know how a debate re: pro life ends up in this forum. JFTrecord; an abortion is when you end the life of one growing n the wmb. Baby has a heartbeat, and can fel pain. Over 40 million killed since 1963. May God have mercy on this Nation.
What does any of this BS have to do with this song? Please go find some political forum that cares about your opinions and stop using Youtube as your soapbox.
If people decide to talk about something then what's the problem with that? I understand your frustration about political commentaries about who's winning or what have you because I am tired of those too but people are just talking here. Each person has an opinion and we're expressing them.
How are we losers though? Be more specific. Is it because we love our Constitution, the foundation of our USA, and won't let it just die? Huh?
I live in poverty now, at $306 monthly, disabled with severe asthma that never went away. I take 15 medicines and 4 breathing treatments per day and 98 pills per week (including vitamins). The polluters get filthy rich while asthmatics like me and others get sick and die. Time for a change, people?
I know, but we (you too) would rather talk with people than worms. Yes, and bacteria need their food too. Maybe things will get better as people effect change together.
you get 76 bucks a week and these fat ass stars are selling pictures of their babies to people magazine for 6 million.6 million dollars for a half dozen baby pics while you sit there completely disabled.Its all just one giant mess. I mean what the fuck is this world coming to. I hope the tides turn in your favor somehow.
Thank you. Together, we can all change things to a better situation. Minor changes can have a big effect and then everybody can thrive. Education is a key factor and really should be free.
How is free education a bad deal with all of the money being wasted in Iraq while Osama Bin Laden is still free? That money could educate all US citizens after high school graduation. Do you want China and India to take over or something? What are you using your mind for exactly?
I was born in Denver and my ancestors are from Ireland, England, and Germany. What exactly did you mean 2president2? Get what over with? This discussion or something else?
When I heard this song in the mid-1970s as a little boy in Denver I thought it was about people living in poverty in Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, El Paso, Mexico City, Chihuahua, and other cities. I could not hear the words back then. I love this song!!!
a woman should have a right to control what happens to her body. and a fetus isn't a life until it can survive on it's on outside my body. i agree with you, lance, but i really like this song ;-)
song is great,but your thinking is warped. by your reasoning, we should be able to remove a fetus at will, and if we want, use the fetus as a kickball, right? if its not life, just meat, why not suggest to the doctor that he/she wrap the fetus up in brown paper so that you may take it home for the dog to chew? a woman exercises her right to choose when she carelessly gets laid and OOPS, how inconvenient for her modern lifestyle and career! damn those pesky fetus bastards! there oughta be a law!
There is a law rest assured where corrupt mankind cannot touch it and mess it up and do away with it. And what makes this law so dangerous is that the power of righteousness backs it up.God help all the extinguishers of life-do you think you can escape his wrath? I know not. God bless pro-lifers because God is life...
Well, if you support "pro-life", how many people, babies or seniors, have you fed, educated, mentored or just spent time with? Feed the living first, the world doesn't need more Ethiopias.
I am sorry, but, could not resist to ask if so many are pro life how come so many children suffer through multiple foster homes, lack of food and shelter, how come so many are allowed to reach adulthood with so little love that they end up in jail, how come so many that end up in drugs or petty crime are stamped with a felony to chain them to shame and subjugation.
IMO religion and our so called christians are nothing but a self righteous fraternity that Jesus would not like at all! Sorry :(
Willie, the whole point of pro life is to give an opportunity to a fetus to be born, rich or poor. Foster homes are not ideal, but is it worse than an existence that was denied? Humans are strong, and we have free will to pursue a life on whatever side of the tracks we decide to roam. I was middle class born, to a nurse and a cop. I ended up in a foster home as a result of MY choices. Had my mom aborted me, my kids would not be here and they are beautiful! I turned out fine,i guess. be cool, man
You don't know how much better (and saner) you just made me feel! finally someone else has the guts to speak logically about how selfish the abortion industry makes women.
"and a fetus isn't a life until it can survive on it's on outside ((my body))." Ouch! I hope this isn't tragically personal. A women excersises her right conserning pregnancy when she decides to have sex or not. And your definition of life is as arbitrary as it gets. I recall many occasions where I would not have survived outside your body "on my own" LOL!
true! you'd think these people are crazy enough to want to kill off all the 'weaker' people who are dependent on others or even on machines or medication to live. take a look at Peter Singer's philosophy...scary.
you shouldnt be so harsh against them for having their views. murder is wrong, no matter how you label it, and what about the baby? it has rights, too, but selfish, criminal women and deviant doctors fail to give a rats butt about THOSE RIGHTS. Seals and Crofts, keep up the great work!
Thanks for pointing that out. It seems as if there's always a fly in the ointment. A shame that these wonderful musicians had a dark, misogynistic side. No doubt something to do with their religion?
Sorry playboybunny888, I beg to differ! I don't like diamonds ..especially considering most come via bloodshed in conflicted areas where theres abuse of labor, slavery, and even murder! But with all that said this is one truely master piece of a song ;)
