  • Great

  • Beautiful song and beautiful voice!!!

  • Great Song, both the tune and the words. You might also listen to it played (tune only) on baritone sax by Gene Ammons! Incredible. I haven't been able to find it on cd, although I have it on L.P....a very old L.P. :-)

  • I like Neil Diamond but Josh Groban does this song better.

  • @15Misstiff My ass he does it better, Josh Groban can go eat a bag of dicks (: While I'm at it, how about you go eat a bag of dicks for such a blasphemous comment. Sorry but for all I know you are Josh Groban.

  • OMG I am a parking attendant. This one goes out to me!!!

  • My late husband sang and played this song for me as he proposed 18 years ago. Yeah.

  • neil --for ever

    Thanks Neil you are fantastic

  • you are my zun,i am the moon !

  • listen to this guy too John Hutchinson Pot of Gold

  • Josh Groban sang this song last night (May 28th) at his concert and i fell in love with it.

  • Cat Stephens played one in the '70s to0

  • From "Love at the Greek" recorded in September of 1976; released February 1977. By far one of the best concerts ever.

  • THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love that song, it speaks to my heart...

  • My favorite song by Mr Diamond. I grew up listening to him, my Dad would walk around singing Sweet Caroline, ba ba ba.

  • OMG! He's playing a bowl back guitar like mine! I've never seen one played professionally. Coolness!

  • @JudiG Glenn Campbell played Ovations for years. I think the boys from Alabama played Ovations as well. They are just not too popular now. Is your "bowl back" an Ovation or an Applause?

  • @JudiG I've been playing Ovation " bowl back " guitars since 1972, when I think the first ones were made in Connecticut. Still have my original, which plays better than any of the newer ones. The newer versions are not so popular now because they're not made like the original .ones...Back in the day they were used by all the big stars..Dawn

  • I'll be honest, ND is one of the last of the great song writers, so poetic. This is actually my wife's and my song...and the funny thing is, no, we're not 50, we're actually both under 30. Funny funny thing, I primarily listen to Punk and Metal, but I can def respect some ND!

  • To all U NeilFans - so nice to read heartfelt & respectful comments posted not only here but other vids by Neil! Some other artists' followers really post trash, ethnic slurs & negativity, that it's so refreshing to read & share your comments. Neil fans are the best - he helps bring it out in us. Luv U Neil! :)

  • what a song he is a legand he is fantastic live love him xxxxx

  • Showed my daughter the one on YouTube where he sings this song with Shirley Bassey she now says 'she is in love'. The way they sang together it felt like no one else should have been in the room with them...lovely.

  • watched Neil on the tv last night and his voice is still wonderfull and life is still twinkling in his eyes.

  • @jazzedat1 Even in The Netherlands, I watched with chickenskin... my mum loved his songs and inundated me with his music, as I did likewise to her. Still, if I'd been young at the time, I'd be one of his best fans. His voice is just unique, and his looks, in those days... if only.

  • welcome finally, to the rock and roll hall of fame!!!!

  • Listening to him makes me dream of him as my prince to take me away lol!!

  • my favorite song from neill nice tune in D major

  • he wrote such great music, but this 1 is 1 of the all time best. its hard to pick the faves, but this is about the prettiest of all tunes.

  • Saw Neil in concert in Australia this week.........he still has it all, thank you Neil for all you have given us you ROCK.....

  • thats what I call a sexy, sensual man..........

  • Legend. Can`t wait to see you this Saturday night in Melbourne. You are worth a round trip of nearly 800 klms. Third time to see you and I know you are just perfection when singing live . What a voice.

  • @bibi5767 he was perfect in adelaide monday night, like a bottle of wine gets better with age, hope to see him again here in adelaide

  • @brun5074 You are one lucky bugger :) Why has this been flagged as spam ? Must be too many people who have nothing better to do than post negative comments, - not just on Neil as you find them everywhere.

    THUMBS UP everyone.

  • @brun5074

    I won tickets to see Mr. Diamond in Auburn Hills, Michigan about 10 years ago and it remains the second best live show that I've ever seen...and working in sound production I've seen a concert or three in my time. I was astounded that the three hours of performing was only interrupted by a 10 minute intermission. I know bands and performers one third Mr. Diamond's age that can't claim that sort of stamina.

  • Just bought my tickets to see him at O2 11/07/11 !! Cannot wait!!

  • Timeless! I have seen MANY concerts in my time and I can honestly say Neil and his band can duplicate on stage what they can do in a studio. And few bands can I say that about-thanks for your energy and spirit, Neil.

    And thanks for the post, rockn.

  • Incredible!

  • NEIL DIAMOND FOREVER!

  • I heard he killed a drifter to get an erection.

  • @afterapplepicking Another idiot heard from who can't sing, and don't have ece tgo be able to listen to good music , and enjoy it. Go back to sleep fool.

  • *sigh* hmmm

  • Only 3 dislikes, but that's 3 too many for this. What a classic.

  • "HAPPY BIRTHDAY " NEIL, you are the most talented songwriter, and with that sexy voice , and eyes to melt , you are a beautiful person. Can't wait to see you in concert in March. XXX

  • Neil's incredibly talented. Love the way he sings this song. He puts so much feelings into his words. I can see tear drops falling towards the end, love him!

  • He is so sexy. His voice and his music take me on a journey. Love to listen to him and to watch this video.

  • @MWils641

    i sing a Neil Diamond tribute!

  • He has been a part of most of my life! I saw him in concert once..... Wow.....  He is a performer, don't know that I have seen a better concert ever! Music for the soul......

  • Ah! Makes me want to start my life over again just to enjoy the feelings the song pictures.

  • Ah! Makes me want to start my life over again just to enjoy the feelings thr song pictures.

  • had so many magic moments to this song (if you know what I mean) love it, we play this and suzzanne by leonard cohen

  • Gorgeous, Talented, Intense..... I can only imagine the kind of life he experienced during those years - the world was his!!!

  • I bet he could do a great Clint Eastwood imperssonation with his eyes, as well as other tricks

  • My dad has played this ever since before i could remeber. this song always makes me think of him <3

  • 4 people were so amazed that they accedentally hit 'dislike'

  • amazing

  • These are the songs that will be in the romantic movies 10 to 20 years from now. Not Rap, metal and screaming rock.

  • When I was a child I loved hearing my mom play Neil back in the 70's.  Then i laughed and fell in love with Metallica. Now that I am getting older I love Neil's music again and can't stand the other stuff. Anyone else go through that?

  • @schlabresfan

    yeah i did, and i would think a lot of other people have as well

  • real men sing songs like this.

  • @hopefulinhotsprings I saw him at Hot August Night at the Greek Theatre in the middle of the fourth row. We didn't sit for the second half of the concert and I don't remember blinking either.

  • Neil cannot stop singing before I die because it is the only way I can die happy. I have loved you since high school.

  • Neil, one of the "Greats" from my era, the 70's, along with my other musical heroes: John Denver, Barbara Streisand, Gordon Lightfoot, the Carpenters, Bread, Jim Croce, etc... what a GREAT time for music... sweet memories...

  • @DERedhead65  So true....what happened to individualism..and not studio formulas!

  • @momdigs2 I hear that! you are so right...

  • @DERedhead65 Yes, those are all musical giants! Good choices--a golden era in rock era love songs--fabulous voices, material, arrangements--the works. We won't see their likes again.

  • This man, at 69, years of age still has what live music is all about.

  • He makes it look so effortless....

  • Just love this beautiful song...

  • You are the sun. I am the moon. You are the words. I am the tune. Play me.

    Beautiful song,thanks for sharing!

  • Thank you a lot for this very great video.

  • This song is so poetic,it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it.Make me feel horny too,that's how sexy this song is.

  • only HE can make this song sound so sexual check out when he sings this song with shirley bassey hot hot hot

    start out with Goldsboro's Summer The !rst Time--follow with Play Me and finish with Lobo's Afterglow.___if you are,'t feeling loved by then--you are with the wrong person.

  • HIS MUSIC IS GREAT AND I LOVE IT AND ALWAYS WILL...KEEP ON SINGING FOR US NEIL!!!

  • If any man never before knew how to talk to a woman, this could give a clue.

  • To find better you can only find ut at some of his other songs; Morningside, Stones, I am, i Said, maybe. Whatta Heart !

  • he writes tyhem, he sings them, and presents the perfect song for us.i always loved his early music but really became a huge fan after seeing him sing "love on the rocks" on " the jazz singer" i know they'll never be another neil diamond but i wish someone would bring this kind of music back.

  • He has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.

  • Sometimes I take a long sabbatical from music and then I listen to songs like this and they remind me of the magic, the absolute wonderfulness that a great song is and how much I love music. How music almost exists on some other plane or dimension, always there if we need it.

    Thank you Neil for writing and singing these wonderful.. tunes you play.

  • The perfect song

  • sexy!

  • Love those Diamond Songs.......:)

  • My Dearest Tanya, My Love, My Life, This was the song i sang best when with the band. It's my favourite Neil Diamond song. I realise now that everytime i sang it I did for You. You truly are the words and me the tune. I wish you Play Me for Life Baby Luv. Our Life will surely be filled with the sweet music of it. Your Glenn

I also love Solitary Man,,,,,, Cherry Cherry.

  • Wow. he didn't have to try to be sexy, his voice and his eyes could melt the knickers off a nun . Just look at those eyes..

  • @kenziexxpodders

    LOVE IT!!! Melt the knickers off a nun, indeed!!!

    I know he used to make my wife go weak at the knees.

    And some of his lyrics and tunes surely dragged tears from me.

  • Oh Yeahhhhhhh, I agree totally!!! What an awesome voice!

  • Have you seen Neil doing this song with Shirley Bassey ? ? WOW...talk about talent--he's the master

  • @mocalsa Yes. It'd almost stood-up sex, isn't it? I think they got on well together. But her eyes do tell you she didn't like that word 'brang'.

  • One of my faves by him!

  • @Resonantforce

    One day soon,, you will sing it to her!!

    Thanks for sharing Rich! xo

  • Thank you Dori, for giving me those beautiful rays of hope!

    ;o)........

  • You can say whatever you like, the truth is that this is one of the sexiest songs ever and he is the only one who could have sung it the way he does. I get chills when he sings it

  • I agree,

    the song, the perfomance and the singer can`t be more sexy

  • @Sanedmex1 you are so right. absolutely one of the sexiest songs. this one is live and very real.. yes very sexy and dreamy.

  • @Sanedmex1

    totally agree,
