Podcast appearances and mentions of Neil Diamond

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by quintessential music maker and founding member of The Four Seasons, Bob Gaudio. Bob's career in music started at a young age. At the age of 15, he co-wrote his first hit, "Who Wears Short Shorts," for a group he started, The Royal Teens. His song, "Sherry," in the early '60s, launched The Four Seasons' incredible string of hits. At the time, he also began a productive and creative relationship with Bob Crewe, a teaming that produced an amazing run of hits for The Four Seasons, including "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," "Walk Like a Man," "Bye Bye Baby," "Silence Is Golden," and in 1967, Frankie Valli's classic, "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You." Gaudio also produced and co-wrote with his wife, Judy Parker, "Who Loves You," for The Four Seasons and Billboard Magazine's longest-charting single (54 weeks), "December '63 (Oh, What a Night)." Bob has collaborated with Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra, and has produced albums for Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Roberta Flack, Barry Manilow, Peabo Bryson and The Beach Boys, to cite just a few. This is a conversation about Bob's greatest hits- the songs we will be tuning up this summer!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Neil Diamond is one of the best-selling singer-songwriters of all time.  In August 1972 he performed a series of 10 sold-out shows at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.  Recordings from this concert would be released as a live double-album entitled Hot August Night later that year in December.  Neil Diamond was born in Brooklyn, New York, the child of a Jewish family.  At the age of 16 he was inspired by seeing folk singer Pete Seeger perform at a camp for Jewish children in upstate New York, and received his first guitar shortly thereafter.  This would set the direction of Diamond's career, starting with both taking guitar lessons and writing songs.  After some time barely scraping by as a songwriter, Diamond began to find some success by the mid-60's, most prominently with several songs for The Monkees, including the big hit, "I'm A Believer."  Diamond moved to Los Angeles in 1969, where he recorded some of his bigger solo hits, including the iconic "Sweet Caroline."Many consider "Hot August Night" to be Neil Diamond's best work, capturing the artist at his prime and at the top of his game.  It went to number 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and was number 12 for the 1973 year-end chart.  It was number 1 in Australia for 29 weeks in 1973 and 1974, and remains one of the highest selling albums in that country. Neil Diamond retired from touring in 2018 toward the end of his "50 Year Anniversary World Tour" after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.  However, Diamond did not retire from music, and continued writing and developing new projects.Wayne brings us this soft rock singer-songwriter live album for this week's podcast. Kentucky WomanThis song is a bonus track on the CD, and many will recognize this song from the remake performed by Deep Purple.  It was written in 1967 and went to number 22 on the charts after its release.  It appeared on the compilation album, "Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits" released in 1968 on Bang records after Diamond left that label.Cherry CherryThe inspiration for this song was an early relationship with a significantly older woman.  This was Diamond's first hit, reaching number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The most familiar studio version of this song was released in mid 1966 on Bang records, and was the final track on Diamond's debut studio album, "The Feel of Neil Diamond."Song Sung BlueThis song was originally released on Diamond's eighth studio album, "Moods."  It was his second number 1 song in the United States, and his last solo #1 song in America to date.  The musical inspiration for the song is Mozart's Piano Concerto #21, second movement.  The lyrics reflect on the power of music to heal when a sad mood is poured into a song. Cracklin' RosieOriginally released in 1970, this song topped the charts and sold over 1 million copies.  The studio version appeared on "Tap Root Manuscript," Diamond's sixth studio album, and was recorded with instrumentation provided by session musicians from the Wrecking Crew. While the lyrics suggest that Rosie is a prostitute, there are tales that it actually refers to a cheap sparkling wine from Canada called "Crackling Rosè."  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the animated series "Josie and the Pussycats"The animated series "Josie and the Pussycats" and "Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space" concluded its run this month. STAFF PICKS:Ventura Highway by AmericaRob leads off the staff picks with a song inspired by a drive that vocalist and writer Dewey Bunnell took in 1963 on the Pacific Coast.  While his father was changing a flat tire, he and his brother stood on the side of the road near a road sign for Ventura, watching shapes in the clouds, inspiring the lyrics "alligator lizards in the air."Superstition by Stevie WonderLynch brings us the lead single from Wonder's fifteenth studio album "Talking Book."  It's lyrics mention many popular superstitions and their negative consequences.  Stevie Wonder collaborated with Jeff Beck on the demo for this song, and Beck would include his version of "Superstition" on his "Beck, Bogert & Appice" album.Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu by Johnny RiversBruce features the song originally recorded in 1957 by Huey "Piano" Smith.  The original version went to number 52 on the pop charts, but the version we all know went to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Rivers was a member of the Wrecking Crew, and several musicians from that session group played on this single. It Never Rains in Southern California by Albert HammondWayne's closes out the staff picks with a storytelling song about a performer off to make it big.  He fails in his efforts, but wants to hide the failure from those he left behind.  Members of the Wrecking Crew also provide instrumentation on this song that went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. NOVELTY TRACK:Crazy Horses by The OsmondsThis surprisingly heavy performance from the Osmonds takes us out for this week.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

It's Popzara's Movie Time! Podcast, where our in-house movie nerds Ethan Brehm and Nate Evans take you on an unscripted journey yakking and chatting about some of their favorite movie moments and cinematic scenes, from past and present, presented without snark and snobbery for your listening pleasure. On deck are two blockbusters directed by Steven Spielberg that are as much science-fiction spectacle as they are family dramas, and whose success and innovative film-making would help reshape the movie industry forever. First is 1977's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Spielberg's follow-up to 1975's Jaws that proved the shark's success was no fluke. By not making the aliens malevolent but benevolent, it was a revelation at the box-office, bested only by George Lucas' Star Wars. Next is 1982's E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, the heartfelt story of an alien lost on Earth who befriends a young boy that quickly became the most successful movie in history (a title is kept for 11 years until it was dethroned by Spielberg's own Jurassic Park). Our hosts examine the relatable inspirations for both films, realizing their continued success owes as much to nostalgia as groundbreaking cinematic storytelling. Listen as they discuss the surprising connections between Spielberg's films and George Lucas' Star Wars (did you know E.T.'s species has an official name?), how E.T. inspired a hit Neil Diamond song, and speculate if Spielberg's 2022 autobiographical The Fablemans can be considered a thematic followup to both films. All this and more when you listen today!

  Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Michael Bogart has deep musical roots which spread through many boundaries as well as a career in music spanning decades.   Known primarily for his trumpet and trombone playing, he played the jazz trumpet chair (and conch shell) with the legendary Maynard Ferguson Big Bop Nouveau Big Band in the late 990's.   From 2000-2009 Michael was the lead trumpet, trombonist and background vocalist for soul super group Tower of Power and can be heard on several of their albums, including the critically acclaimed 40th Anniversary: The Fillmore Auditorium.   He has also recorded with artists as diverse as Aerosmith, Puff Daddy, and his mothers' favorite, Neil Diamond.   After taking a break from touring and recording to retire from the United States Navy, focus on his spiritual path and study jazz at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, Michael has been busy composing and recording his own music.   His music is an earthy blend of soul influenced-straight ahead jazz and Hasidic Jewish nigunim (melodies). As well as being a Jewish Mensch.

Rosemary Butler Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Part 1 Astrologer Zoe Moon warned it was gonna be a crazy day. I read that first thing this morning but forgot about it until 4:45 pm when things started going sideways. What could have been a non-show disappointment, turned into a delayed, technical bit of a mess, but ultimately delightful chat with the incomparable Rosemary Butler. Just the appetizer for what is sure to be a delightful feast when next we meet, Wednesday, March 26th, promptly Live @5! Instead of what I thought would be a quick hello, sorry, see you next time, Rosemary delighted with some choice stories about where she came from, her two all-girl bands, The Ladybirds and Birtha, opening for The Stones, great stuff there from the Beatles fan who eventually did get to sing with her hero, Paul, who inspired her to be a lefthanded singing bassist, through sheer Moxie, thanks to Kenny Loggins and Peter Asher, a funny Three Dog Night/Chuck Negron tale, a wonderful Ray Charles invitation, Bonnie Raitt, who she credits with changing her life, but we barely scratched the surface there as we did with Jackson Browne. Rosemary has sung, toured, and recorded with everyone who's anyone... Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Carole King, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, to name a few more - those stories and lots more when Rosemary comes back, under more ideal conditions, feather in hand, with her adorable exuberance to amuse and delight us! In addition to being an iconic backup singer whose memorable riffs have scored my life, Rosemary is a renowned vocal coach and gigs regularly. For all things Rose rosemarybutler.com She's beautiful, adorable, has lived a life dreams are made of, with a voice that'll deservedly live forever. Can't wait for more.

For this months episode we head back to 1971 for a batch of epicly long prog epics, peppered with the occasional bit of folk rock, powerpop, metal, jazz, and afrobeat. Our longest playlist yet, and lots of fun along the way! We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Badfinger, The Beach Boys, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Can, Caravan, Neil Diamond, Nick Drake, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Flower Travelin' Band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Focus, Hampton Grease Band, Jimi Hendrix, The Hollies, Billy Joel, King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nazz, Harry Nilsson, The Norman Haines Band, Osibisa, Pink FLoyd, The Rolling Stones, Pharoah Sanders, Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, Stephen Stills, Traffic, Van Der Graaf Generator & The WhoFind all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/36GaQbyuHTepSEAQkXubCN?si=24673026411f4e51Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

Tal día como hoy, 11 de febrero de 1990, en los prolegómenos del partido del Campeonato nacional de Liga frente al Athletic Club, culminaron los actos conmemorativos del 50º aniversario del Athletic de Aviación Club con un homenaje sobre el césped a los jugadores de aquella época. El partido terminó con victoria del Atleti por 2-0 con goles de Baltazar de penalti en el minuto 1, y Orejuela en el minuto 89. Tras haber incluido una bonus track en el último programa para ponernos al día en todas las competiciones, esta semana sólo les tengo que informar del resultado de la Liga. El sábado, en el derbi disputado en el Cuernabéu, el Atleti robó vilmente un punto, aunque fuera penalti con el reglamento en la mano, no debió de pitarse porque…., patatas. El caso es que Julián transformó el penalti que suponía el 0-1 a lo Panenka con frialdad. Al principio de la 2ª parte el mejor equipo del mundo mundial, icono de la rebeldía antisistema que lucha contra todo y contra todos, obtuvo un empate en un balón rebotado que cayó a los pies de Mbappé. La berrea continúa, porque la clasificación de la Liga sigue igual, estando a 1 punto de la cabeza el Atleti, quedando todavía 45 puntos por disputar…, ahí es nada. Debido al buen trabajo realizado en Champions, el Atleti ya no volverá a jugar hasta el próximo sábado, día 26 de febrero, en que recibiremos al Real Celta de Vigo a las 18:30 en el Metropolitano.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Sakekamer in Amerika sê hy het meer as 20 000 navrae van Suid-Afrikaners ontvang wat hulle in Amerika wil hervestig. Dit volg nadat Amerika se president, Donald Trump, Vrydag met 'n uitvoerende bevel hulp aan Suid-Afrika opgeskort het en die hervestiging van Afrikaners in Amerika prioritiseer wat slagoffers is van rasse-diskriminasie. Die sakekamer-president, Neil Diamond, het aan die SAUK gesê 'n massa-uittog van vaardige professionele boere uit Suid-Afrika kan moontlik plaasvind:

U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order granting Afrikaners refugee status and facilitating their resettlement in the U.S. has resulted in over 17,500 emails, calls, and messages from South Africans to the South African Chamber of Commerce in the US (SACCUSA), causing their website to crash. Neil Diamond, the President of SACCUSA, told Biznews in an interview that they have been overwhelmed by these inquiries. Diamond expressed concern about the impact of Trump's actions on South Africa's economy, stating that the impact on food security is not being taken seriously. He called for “all hands on deck” to resolve the crisis, emphasising that South Africa now needs one voice. Diamond, who is heading to Washington to lobby South Africa's case, has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to join the business community in the United States for roundtable discussions with the US President and the Secretary of State.

The jury reached a not guilty verdict after a four-day trial, citing a lack of physical evidence and a coerced confession. Zandstra, a retired minister from Marietta, was charged in 2023. Harrington disappeared while walking to Bible camp, where Zandstra was a pastor. Despite his confession, defense argued it was coerced, and no evidence linked him to the crime. Zandstra's family expressed relief at his release after 18 months in custody. STORY 2: Marietta Man Reported Missing Demarcus Benton, a 37-year-old from Marietta, is missing after leaving home on Roosevelt Circle following an argument.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of January 24th Publish Date: January 24th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, January 24th and Happy Birthday to Neil Diamond ***01.24.25 - BIRTHDAY – NEIL DIAMOND*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Woodstock Police Looking for Man Last Seen in December Congress clears immigrant detention bill for Trump’s signature on his 3rd day in office Cherokee County School District Announces Spelling Bee Champ Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1: Woodstock Police Looking For Man Last Seen in December The Woodstock Police Department is seeking public assistance in locating Christopher Moss, a 43-year-old man missing since last month. Moss is described as white, 5'10", and weighing 220 pounds. He is driving a grey Jeep Cherokee with Georgia license plate CIR3274 and may be headed to Alabama. Authorities advise anyone who sees him to contact local law enforcement and not to approach him. STORY 2: Congress clears immigrant detention bill for Trump’s signature on his 3rd day in office The U.S. House passed a bill expanding mandatory detention for immigrants charged with petty crimes, sending it to President Trump for approval. The bill, named after Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, passed with bipartisan support, reflecting Trump's immigration crackdown agenda. Critics argue it could lead to mass deportations, as it mandates detention without bond and lacks exceptions for children. The bill also allows state attorneys general to challenge federal immigration policies. Enforcing the law could cost $26.9 billion in its first year, far exceeding ICE's budget. Amendments further broaden detention requirements for assaulting officers and causing serious harm. STORY 3: Cherokee County School District Announces Spelling Bee Champ Seventh-grader Leah Childers from Creekland Middle School won the 2025 Cherokee County School District Spelling Bee by correctly spelling "ubiquity" and "debutante." Liberty Elementary's fifth-grader Royd Reyes took second place after a lengthy final round. Teagan Gray from Johnston Elementary and Sebastian Kasarhis from Carmel Elementary placed third and fourth, respectively. These top four spellers will advance to the Region Bee on February 22, with state winners moving on to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in June. The competition featured 30 students and lasted nearly two hours. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The project includes variances for rural street sections, reduced front setbacks, and private streets, but not for side setbacks. The development, with a density of 0.75 units per acre, aligns with the area's suburban growth plan. Access will be via Burch Park Lane, with improvements coordinated with county staff. STORY 5: 'Cherokee is Thriving:' Harry Johnston Shares State of the County Cherokee County Commission Chair Harry Johnston delivered the State of the County address, highlighting achievements and future priorities. He praised the county's low taxes, strong community services, and economic development. Johnston emphasized managing growth, infrastructure, and housing while maintaining low taxes. He noted the county's growth rate and proposed collaboration with cities to manage it. Johnston addressed road funding shortfalls, suggesting a 1% Homestead Option Sales Tax for property tax relief and road funding. He also discussed affordable housing, proposing targets for new affordable units. Johnston encouraged collaboration to tackle these challenges and ensure the county thrives.

Blake Smith and his rock band Figdish from the 90's Chicago scene has never taken things too seriously; never been careerists, and in fact went out of their way to indulge in hijinx and sabotage, despite ending up with 2 hugely influential records and a solid major label record deal. This was the band that came of age with Varuca Salt, Local H and Smoking Popes with comparisons to Replacements and Husker Du that intentionally played a set of Neil Diamond covers at a label showcase in front of A&R from all the biggies. The same band that threw a sandwich off their hotel balcony and covered Marilyn Manson and his crew in hoagie. Blake Smith and band mate Mike Wilison went on to start the electronica based project Caviar with pretty solid success with lots of TV and film placement. But its the music that was written before they lost their record deal with Polygram that is the focus of a new Figdish release, the first in over 25 years, called Feels Like The Very First Two Times (Forge Again). These apocryphal songs complete the journey of this band and round out a top flight collection of powerful chicago indierock of the 90's scene that left a lasting impact on rock today, despite the hijinx and sabotage. 

Guitarist and session ace Richard Bennett joins me on the show this week. Originally from Phoenix, Richard spent the first big chunk of his career in the 70's LA studio scene, before moving to Nashville in the 80's where he's been a mainstay in studios ever since. Richard is known as one of the ultimate sidemen and spent 17 years in Neil Diamond's band, playing on all of his records and tours from '71 to '87. Richard has had another long-term sideman gig playing guitar in Mark Knopfler's band since '94, and that continues to this day, touring in his band and playing on all of his records, including the latest “One Deep River” from this year. Aside from those impressive long-term gigs, Richard has played on countless sessions and gigs for artists like Roseanne Cash, Marty Stuart, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Iris Dement, and Waylon Jennings. He also loves to write and record his own music, and is constantly working on the next set of tunes to get into the studio to document. His latest is called “Talltale Tunes” and it's a killer record of great playing, tone and creativity. Richard is also an in-demand producer and has helmed an impressive list of albums in the last few decades as well. He had a huge role in the Nashville session scene of the 80's and 90's that continues to thrive, and I loved getting a chance to hear about that era of Nashville. I've spent the last year playing in a band with Richard called The Volcano Brothers, playing all 1920's and 30's Hawaiian music, with Richard playing ukulele. While we just play tiny local gigs around Nashville with that band, I still get to see and hear Richard's amazing touch on his instruments, and the dedication and the preparation that he puts into every show, no matter how small! He's an incredible musician, an encouraging band-mate, and an inspiring person to be around, and we had a very enjoyable conversation about his history in music and the recording studio.

Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Junior were born in the same year. The last known widow of a Civil War veteran lived to see Barack Obama become the first African-American President. Emmett Till would be the same age as Neil Diamond, Martha Stewart, and Bob Dylan in 2024 if he was not brutally tortured and murdered in 1955. Facts like these remind us that history is not as far away as we think it is. Wright Thompson, is a Senior Writer at ESPN and author of The Cost of These Dreams, Pappyland, and most recently, The Barn, which uncovers the real story of Emmett Till's murder in the Mississippi Delta. Wright joins Ryan to talk about the impact of cognitive dissonance, how political rhetoric has shaped racial violence, why history is closer than we think, the rise and fall of the cotton boom, and what it was like for Wright to learn the truth about Emmett Till's story.
