When I first heard this song in the movie The Jazz Singer, I was hooked. Great song. And I love Neil Diamond. His beautiful songs are timeless.

Neil Diamond was, is, and always will be America's greatest song writer and performer. It has been such a privilege to watch and listen to him for so many years. His voice, his songs, are incomparable - simply the best. I thank him for giving us such treasures in his songs.

Returning stateside in 1984 after three years in Europe serving in the military our little family stood barefoot in the surf of the New Jersey coastline listening to an an after dark performance of this beautiful song. Neil Diamond sang from from the boardwalk as families gathered across the beach watching the July 4th fireworks as they were launched from a ship out in the water. We had only been home for less than a week. I’ll never forget the love I felt that evening for this great land.

I have loved Neil Diamond since I was 14 years old or for 53 years. We were dirt poor but I saved my money up from babysitting and bought his records. I was blessed later in life to see him a couple times live. Ali was right; he IS a treasure! Loved him then and love him now!!
