Performer: Neil Diamond
Artist: Barbra Streisand Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Personnel includes: Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand (vocals). Producers: Robbie Robertson, Bob Gaudio, Tom Catalano, Neil Diamond, Dennis St. John. Personnel: Neil Diamond (vocals, guitar). Collecting a dozen of Neil Diamond's best late-1970s recordings, from 1975's "Longfellow Serenade" to 1981's "Yesterday's Songs," 12 GREATEST HITS VOL. II features the Robbie Robertson-produced "Beautiful Noise," as well as Diamond's infectious 1978 toe-tapper, "Forever in Blue Jeans," and his smash-hit duet with Barbra Streisand, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers."
With a career as a hitmaker stretching across the decades, Neil Diamond has purveyed catchy, three-chord pop/rock, progressive singer/songwriter material, middle-of-the-road balladry, and even traditional country. He started out as a Brill Building hitmaker; a songwriter for hire, he worked alongside the likes of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and penned hits for the Monkees and Jay & the Americans. His solo career took off in the mid 1960s and made him one of America's most successful recording artists and concert attractions for a long time to come. Even decades down the road, younger groups such as UB40 in the '80s, Urge Overkill in the '90s, and Smash Mouth in the 2000's were still scoring hits with Diamond's evergreen compositions.
