CONCERT RE-view: Legendary Neil Diamond Plays the KEY and is "So Good, So Good, So Good"!

by MK Scott

This past year, I have covered some of the best Singer/Songwriters from the world of POP. From Melissa Manchester to most recently, Paul Williams. The heyday was the 1960's and 70's, but there is one that is truly the King and Packs arenas every time. Take a little Sinatra, add the admiration and charm of Elvis plus the symbolism of Jimmy Buffet you get the longevity of Neil Diamond (Every song written by him). Diamond, (71, but looks and acts like he is 51) performed this past Monday at Seattle's Key Arena. It was a sell out for a performer in the business for over 50 Years.
