Neil Diamond - Cherry, Cherry (Original Stereo)

In 1966, Neil started to record some of the material he himself had written. Among those songs were "I'm a Believer" and "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You".
Unfortunately, The Monkees released their covers of his material before Neil could release his originals, and thus was born a few hits for The Monkees,
and a slight delay in Neil Diamond's recording career. Neil did have one tune called "Cherry, Cherry" that The Monkees somehow passed on so he recorded it, and this song which Rolling Stone Magazine would later call one of the great "three chord songs" of all time, became his first Top 10 hit in August of '66.

@VolpProductions Yes, The Monkees were the first manufactured boy bands. However, Neil was not hired specifically to write for them. He was a songwriter. His songs were given to the producers to use (as they were on the same record label). Neil did not necessarily know his songs were given to the Monkees. He had intended to record them himself. Their version just came out sooner.
