a 1974 song by the American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond. The song was written by Diamond, produced by Tom Catalano and was included on Diamond’s album Serenade.
Released as a single in the fall of that year, “Longfellow Serenade” spent two weeks at # 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November.[1] The song also became Diamond’s second # 1 hit on the Billboard Easy Listening chart, following his 1972 single, “Song Sung Blue”.[2]
Diamond described “Longfellow Serenade” in the liner notes to his 1996 compilation album, In My Lifetime: “Occasionally I like using a particular lyrical style which, in this case, lent itself naturally to telling the story of a guy who woos his woman with poetry.”[2] The title of the song is a reference to the 19th century American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.[2]
