Neil Diamond (born 1941) is an American singer-songwriter known for a warm baritone, hit songs from the 1960s onward and late-career albums produced by Rick Rubin.

Born in 1941. Writer of hits such as "I'm a Believer" and "Solitary Man" (as noted in the reviews). Recorded the Jonathan Livingston Seagull soundtrack. Rick Rubin produced 12 Songs (2005); Home Before Dark (2008) and Melody Road (2014) are noted late-career albums. Active since the 1960s.

DeBaser reviewers praise Neil Diamond's late-career work for its warm baritone, strong songwriting and simple, effective production. Rick Rubin's 12 Songs (2005) and the follow-up Home Before Dark (2008) are highlighted as artistic rebirths. Melody Road (2014) is described as a pleasant, nostalgic record that still shows creative energy.
