Biography
Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941) is one of America's most enduring
and successful singer-songwriters. As a successful pop music performer, Diamond
scored a number of hits worldwide in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. According to
David Wild, common themes in Diamond's songs are "a deep sense of isolation and
an equal desire for connection. A yearning for home – and at the same time, the
allure of greater freedom. The good, the bad and the ugly about a crazy little
thing called love."
As of 2001 Diamond has 115 million records sold worldwide, including 48 million
records in the U.S. In terms of Billboard chart success, he is the third most
successful Adult Contemporary artist ever, ranking behind only Barbra Streisand
and Elton John.
Though his record sales declined somewhat after the 1980s, Diamond continues to
tour successfully, and maintains a very loyal following. Diamond's songs have
been recorded by a vast array of performers from many different musical genres.
Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, and in 2000
received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award.
