A Neil Diamond fan community
The many fabulous faces of Neil Diamond
Isn't it wonderful to have so much affection for one performer, that from the early years of his life, we all love that face, that Neil Diamond face. That clean shaven short haired "kid" singing on American Bandstand & later .the ever so sexy long haired Neil in a red shirt, that seems to be a little more confident, doing all those song for BBC.. The ones we all love so much, the ones that make us drool like school girls, just feeling their sexual emotion for the first time. But it doesn't stop there, it goes on, and on,.just can't get enough of that face & the magnificent voice, & the wonderful attitude, & the sensual gyrations, his dance moves, worshiping every movement & that look in his eyes.sometimes saintly & other times ever so alluring. And he knows it, he does it on purpose just to get us all HOT.
He becomes a little more sure of himself as an entertainer, and we see a different Neil. Hair not so long but still fabulous, a little heavier like in those photos from the concerts in 1976-1979. In these videos he is much more sure of himself and a bit conceited. Strutting around like a proud peacock, and why not, he's just about the greatest singer/song writer that ever lived. and we are just loving it, the whole package that is Neil Diamond.
The years go on and we see him aging, as we all do. But he still has that charm, that animal magnetism that he always possessed, from that first time I saw him on a variety show singing Holly Holy, and Soolimon, I thought no singer ever made me feel like that, who is this, where did he come from, why didn't I know about him before. I felt cheated, so I spent a lot of time buying records, making my own tapes for the car, God knows I couldn't go anywhere without Neil's songs, they just made me feel so wonderful, and nothing has changed since then, I still adore him and I always will. It's that same Neil face I love so much.

Oh, Alyce, you are right thus!
For 40 years I revere Neil and loves!
There has been up to now no musician and singer, which fascinating me s much!
Without him and his music, this world would be very poor.
NeilLove Antonia.

Alyce!
You've said it all Girl'.
Where he shakes his stuff it reminded me of an earlier Elvis shake. But who's on first...
back then it was boys, booze and more boys, booze...
Neil has the looks and the voice and the songs; what more do you want...in my generation we called NEIL DIAMOND a..." HUNK" Once a Hunk, always a Hunk.

You said it all.....Neil has that magnetic charm. I think now he is better than ever. Love the songs on his new CD. I grew up in Brooklyn, in the same community Neil was from, and it's only recently that I have become a big fan of his.... and now I can't get enough!

Before this wonderful world of computer technology and social internet spots, there was a time when I thought I must be the only crazy lady that saw Neil's tremendous sex appeal and talent, believe it or not. I thought I felt that way because my husband was born and raised in Brooklyn and HE felt quite a kinship with Neil and his music. NOW I know that millions of us feel the same way you do...you said it so well!
