Neil Diamond Celebrates 50th Anniversary With New Box Set & Tour
Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since Neil Diamond released his first hit ‘Solitary Man’ – beginning a music career that would span over five decades and counting.
While he’d written scores of countless hits for other artists, this iconic song was his debut single as a recording artist. In celebration of his remarkable achievements over the years, he’s releasing the career-spanning box set, Neil Diamond 50 – The 50th Anniversary Collection, that includes 50 handpicked songs that represent the best of his wide-ranging musical output and is due out on 31 March 2017.
The exclusive 3 CD package also includes a carefully curated booklet with new liner notes along with 49 other international hits that include ‘Cherry Cherry,’ ‘Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon,’ ‘Holly Holy,’ ‘Thank The Lord For The Night Time,’ ‘Sweet Caroline,’ ‘Kentucky Woman,’ ‘Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show,’ ‘Cracklin’ Rosie,’ ‘I Am…I Said,’ ‘Song Sung Blue,’ ‘You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,’ (with Barbra Streisand,) ‘September Morn,’ and ‘Heartlight’ amongst many others that have become a part of the great American songbook.
As a Grammy Award winner and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (among many other accolades) Neil Diamond continues to inspire us with his music and entertain audiences across the world. To support the anniversary release, he’s also hitting the road with a 50 date US tour that begins this April and continues through Europe and the UK.
