Neil Diamond built a career, first as a pop songwriter, and then as a pop singer, that has withstood the changing fashions of music, especially rock, over more than 25 years. Born in Brooklyn, Neil Diamond was writing and recording in New York in his teens, though Neil Diamond graduated from Brooklyn's Abraham Lincoln High School and attended New York University for a time. In 1965, Neil Diamond signed to Bang Records as an artist while also working as a songwriter. In 1966, he reached the Top Ten with his "Cherry, Cherry," while the Monkees took his "I'm a Believer" to #1. "Cherry, Cherry" was the first of five straight Top 20 hits, among them "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon."

Neil Diamond began to develop into more of an individual writer in the mold of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in the late '60s, and this led to his move to Uni Records in 1968, where he continued to score hits like "Sweet Caroline," "Holly Holy," and "Cracklin' Rosie," in a pop/rock style laced with gospel and country influences. His albums also began to go gold consistently beginning with 1969's Touching You, Touching Me.

Neil Diamond signed a lucrative contract with Columbia Records in 1973 that began with his soundtrack to the film Jonathan Livingston Seagull. His 1976 album, Beautiful Noise, was produced by Robbie Robertson of the Band; it was his first album to go platinum. In 1980, Diamond starred in a remake of the film The Jazz Singer. Its soundtrack was another million-seller for him.

Neil Diamond had developed into a dynamic live performer over the years, and his concert recordings were among his most successful. In the late '80s and early '90s, while updating his sound, he faded from the singles charts though his albums continued to sell consistently. And his shows continued to sell out: According to Amusement Business, Neil Diamond was the top concert draw in the U.S. for the first six months of 1992.

In early 1996, Neil Diamond released Tennessee Moon, a country music album that was his first set of newly written material in five years. Tennessee Moon became a hit on the country charts, peaking at number three and going gold within six months of its release. As Time Goes By: The Movie Album followed in 1998.
