About
Eng
Diamond's first regular album release to sell in substantial numbers, Touching You, Touching Me contains the gold Top Ten single "Holly Holy," and a Diamond composition, but is mostly notable for its covers of standards by other songwriters: "Everybody's Talkin'," "Mr. Bojangles," "Both Sides Now," and the chart entry "Until It's Time for You to Go." These helped signal that Diamond was thinking of himself less as a Brill Building hack than as a peer of Fred Neil, Jerry Jeff Walker, Joni Mitchell, and Buffy Sainte-Marie.

В конце 60-х годов Дайамонд становился все более самостоятельным композитором вроде Боба Дилана и Пола Саймона. В результате он заключил контракт со студией Uni Records, на которой записал песни, которые вновь возглавили хит-парады. Среди них были такие как "Sweet Caroline", "Holly Holy" и "Cracking Rosie", песни в поп и рок стиле с элементами госпела и кантри. Начиная с альбома 1969 года под названием "Touching You, Touching Me" все его последующие альбомы становились "золотыми" по количеству продаж.

About

Neil Diamond, normally a quick worker, spent four months agonising over the lyrics of I Am… I Said, and it shows. That’s why the song lingers. There are lines which don’t quite ‘fit’ at first, and seem almost fragmentary coming from such a craftsman, but they’re the lines which – once the penny drops – give it its confessional greatness. People magazine hailed the song as "Art at its best, which moves the audience to self-investigation". Certainly it’s a masterpiece of introspection which transcends conventional pop limitations. Diamond himself rambled, "It tells of feeling lost and questions and doubts and insecurities… and realising that you can never go back home".
As the opener to his seventh album – and, in reprise form, the finale – it tends to overshadow the rest of this sumptuous 1971 release. Like Touching You, Touching Me, Stones contains its share of string-soused covers, and in places tilts Diamond towards MOR. Yet there’s nothing phoney about the way his proud baritone commits to Joni Mitchell’s Chelsea Morning or Tom Paxton’s The Last Thing on My Mind. Each has depth beneath the slick veneer. Later, the angst is overt as Neil nails Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne and Jacques Brel’s If You Go Away. He’s aesthetically closer to Scott Walker than any lounge crooner.
While I Am… I Said was a hit with huge gravitas, the other hit here, Crunchy Granola Suite, seems its polar opposite, praising a healthy diet in very Californian fashion. He’s claimed it’s "meaningful", but it’s a loony cereal jingle. Then there’s the title song, a durable Diamond gem in which "she would ache for love and get but stones". It’s the quintessential Neil song – simple, laced with neo-religious imagery, yet powerfully sincere. Stones is, like much of Diamond’s oeuvre, cornball on top and pulsating with intensity down below. As I Am… I Said attests, he was coming to terms with fame ("you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king and then became one?") while battling internal demons ("I’ve got an emptiness deep inside"). In his fight to keep both his career and spirits ascending lays the magic of Stones.

Нил Лесли Даймонд родился в Бруклине, Нью-Йорк, в еврейской семье Розы и Акибы Даймонд. Родители его матери, Авраам и Молли Раппопорт, эмигрировали в Америку из России незадолго до революции 1917 года.
Многочисленные таланты Даймонда начали проявляться в старших классах школы - он увлекся музыкой и... фехтованием! Он вошел в сборную школы по фехтованию, поступил в New York University по спортивной стипендии, и стал членом национальной команды NCAA в 1960 году, специализируясь на сабле. Он всю жизнь поддерживал себя в форме, а перед концертами разминался за кулисами с саблей в руке!
Даймонд известен своими яркими вышитыми рубашками от Билла Уиттена; он начал носить их для того, чтобы не теряться на большой сцене.
На третьем курсе New York University одна звукозаписывающая компания предложила ему писать музыку за $50 в неделю - с этого и началась его долгая и плодотворная музыкальная карьера. Его таланты исполнителя и композитора принесли ему 10 (десять!) синглов на первой позиции Hot 100: "Cracklin' Rosie", "Song Sung Blue", "Longfellow Serenade", "I've Been This Way Before", "If You Know What I Mean", "Desiree", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", "America", "Yesterday's Songs", "Heartlight" и "I'm a Believer".
В 1984 году он был включен в Зал славы композиторов. А в 2011 году его имя появилось в Зале славы рок-н-ролла и списке лауреатов Kennedy Center Awards!

About
This is the ultimate Neil Diamond record. Not necessarily the best — he’s at his most appealing crafting in the studio — but certainly the ultimate, capturing all the kitsch and glitz of Neil Diamond, the showman. And that also means that it’s not just loaded with flair, but with filler, songs like “Porcupine Pie,” “Soggy Pretzels,” and “And the Grass Won’t Pay No Mind” — attempts to write grand, sweeping epics that collapse under their own weight. Still, that’s part of the charm of Diamond and while it can sound unbearable on studio albums, it makes some sense here, surrounded by his pomp and circumstance. That spectacle is the great thing about the record, since it inflates not just his great songs, it gives the weaker moments character. At 20-plus tracks in its original release and various reissues over the years, this does wind up being a little much, but it nevertheless is the one record for casual Neil fans (after the hits collections), since it shows Diamond the icon in full glory.
