Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941) is an American singer and songwriter, born in Brooklyn, NY.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, Diamond was one of the more successful pop music performers, scoring a number of hits. As critic William Ruhlmann writes, “as of 2001, he claimed worldwide record sales of 115 million copies, and as of 2002 he was ranked third, behind only Elton John and Barbra Streisand, on the list of the most successful adult contemporary artists in the history of the Billboard chart.”[1] As of May 2005 he has sold 120 million records worldwide, including 48 million records in the U.S.[2]
Though his record sales declined somewhat after the 1980s, Diamond continues to tour successfully, and maintains a very loyal following. Diamond’s songs have been recorded by a vast array of performers from many different musical genres.
Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, and then in 2000 was given its Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. He has been eligible for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame since 1989, but has thus far been ignored.
In 2008 Neil Diamond scored his first ever Billboard number one album with “Home Before Dark”, the album also became his first studio album to get to number one in the UK.

Sweet Caroline is most definitely the most popular Neil song. In the US it peaked at #4 whereas "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" peaked at #10. Actually, "Girl" probably only gained much of it's current popularity due to the Urge Overkill version being used in Pulp Fiction. Both are great songs though.

Umm, except of course that Gearuka, who you were addressing is from Poland, LoveThe90s. This site may be UK based but there are definitely more Americans using it, I'd say. Sweet Caroline is the top song, not because the UK listens to it so much, but because it's become a karaoke favourite around the world, it's used in movies and TV shows to this day (yes, American ones, most recently Glee), it's become a favourite singalong at sports events in the US, most notably Boston's Fenway Park among others, and Neil still performs it at every concert, unlike Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon. That accounts for it being on top, not that "Americans have different taste".

Gearuka, It's mostly because this is a UK site and their taste varies somewhat from Americans. In America, I can guarantee you "Girl..." is the most listened to song.

It's a surprise for me, that "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" isn't top played sing. I always thought about it as a big hit.
