E. a. poehenri rousseau
Sholom aleichem and caryl chessman
Alan freed and
Buster keaton too
And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun
Looked up in wonder at the same moon
And wept when it was all done
For bein? done too soon
For bein? done too soon.
For bein? done.
When this entertainer leaves us, the world will weep, for it will have lost a true legend.He will be "Done Too Soon". I feel truly blessed to have lived in a time where Neil Diamond was able to sing songs for us.
Without a doubt the most gifted songwriter/singer that ever graced planet Earth. I bought Hot August Night in 1972 and was totally hooked, still am. There is no one in the same league. Silky smooth chocolatey voice.
This is incredible. Was just reminded of this song, had to listen to it again... Something about it touches the sublime. Everything about this recording... Everything.
