Few people understand that journey better thanNeil Diamond. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1941, he discovered his passion for music at 16, after watching folk legend Pete Seeger perform at a summer camp and seeing other campers play their own songs. The same year, he got his first guitar as a birthday gift and began taking lessons. Almost immediately, he started writing his own songs.
Throughout his incredible career, Diamond has given us hits like "Sweet Caroline," "Cracklin' Rosie," "Song Sung Blue" and "America." He's sold out stadiums across the globe for half a century. He's a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame—and a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In other words—a living legend.
