I think Neil is one of the greatest performers of all time.

DONE TOO SOON
Written by Neil Diamond

Jesus Christ, Fanny Brice,
Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart and
Genghis Khan and
On to H. G. Wells.

Ho Chi Minh, Gunga Din
Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth
And Alexanders
King and Graham Bell.

Ramar Krishna, Mama Whistler,
Patrice Lumumba and Russ Colombo,
Karl and Chico Marx,
Albert Camus.

E. A. Poe, Henri Rousseau,
Sholom Aleichem and Caryl Chessman,
Alan Freed and
Buster Keaton too

And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done

For bein done too soon,
For bein done too soon.
For bein done.

neil is saying that each one of those he mentions ...worked under that same sun, and looked up in wonder at the same moon and wept when life was all done for Being Done to ssoon. Hence the Songs Title!!

I love this song to peices! Along with Tennessee Moon but I can 't find a good quality....

When I was a freshman in high school I joined cross country, but I was so awful I could only run for like 2 or 3 minutes, so I'd hum this song in my head because the pace was good :P (it was faster in the hot august night version)

@GJNCA : I really don't know anything about Gunga Dinh, aside from the fact that there's a movie about him.

As great as this song is, I think that both John Wilkes Booth and Caryl Chessman don't deserve to be mentioned with all those other decent people.

Very nice, impressionistic song, that gain unfurtunately not much attention. But that's way better to a lot of other ND's songs. For me one of the toppers!
