Comment:
If you ever needed proof that Neil Diamond is one of the greatest songwriters of his — or any other — generation, just listen to five decades of his hits covered by your favorite artists. The Monkees handed Neil his first chart-topper — and had [i]their[/i] biggest smash — with “I’m a Believer,” which scored [i]yet again[/i] when Smash Mouth cut it for [i]Shrek[/i]’s soundtrack. Barbra Streisand’s solo recording of “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” inspired a DJ to edit her version together with Neil’s — and, [i]wham[/i], the phones lit up like a Vegas casino. When Neil heard the remix, he and Barbra recut the song as a duet — and a #1 hit. Richie Blackmore’s most tasteful — and restrained — guitar solo ever graces Deep Purple’s psych-meets-prog-party cover of “Kentucky Woman.” And Urge Overkill kick-started hipsters’ Diamond rediscovery renaissance with their dreamily seductive cover of “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon,” from the [i]Pulp Fiction[/i] soundtrack. From an inexplicably large number of reggae covers, including UB40’s “Red Red Wine,” to Shane MacGowan and the Popes’ whiskey-over-gravel take on “Cracklin’ Rosie,” we’ve got Diamond covered.
