In real (before your) time, that guy was one of the more extreme crash and burn right before your very eyes pop artists of his day, even more than Elvis. At least Elvis half-ass tried to right some of his wrongs...

Neil Diamond may be the only major artist to take the hippie/antiestablishment sensitive bard aesthetic and combine it with Las Vegas schlockmeister.  

I associate him with MCA.  I guess Capitol is part of Universal now, so it's one big happy cluster of a family.

But his first hits, the ones that actually had some punch, were on Bang!

And then he was on Uni, which...who remembers Uni #strawberryWHAT?!???

The first version of "Solitary Man" was on Bang, and then he rerecorded it for Uni.  Elton John was on Uni too, as was my 45 of "The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker.
