# 75 – An American singer-songwriter

Neil Leslie Diamond- is an American singer-songwriter, born in 1941, he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.

For his 16th birthday, he got as a gift, his first guitar and started to take lessons, and almost immediately began to write songs.

He said that his attraction to songwriting was the "first real interest" he had growing up, while also helped him release his youthful frustrations.

Neil Diamond also used his newly developing skill to write poetry, by writing poems for girls he was attracted to in school, he soon learned it often won their hearts. His male classmates took note and began asking him to write poems for them, which they would sing and use it with equal success.

In January 2018, Neil Diamond announced that he would stop touring because he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Tour dates on the final leg of the Diamond's "50 Year Anniversary World Tour" in Australia and New Zealand were cancelled.

"Forever in Blue Jeans", co-written and jointly composed with his guitarist, Richard Bennett.

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
Long as I can have you
Here with me, I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat (are not nothing)
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say ( I would like)
We do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight by the fire
All alone you and I

Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

Money talks
But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

And honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me, I'd like to say
We do okay
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight by the fire
All alone you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance
And it don't walk
Long as I can have you
Here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

And if you pardon me

I'd like to say ( I would like)

We do okay

Forever in blue jeans babe

long as I can have you
Here with me I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

As long as I can have you
Here with me I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe
