It’s none other than American singer-songwriter and actor, Neil Diamond.

He is one of the best-selling musicians of all time! And to name his racked up accomplishments in music history…

“Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, and he received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. In 2011, he was an honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors, and he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.”

Nettles performed one of Diamond’s greatest hits, “Hello Again.”

It was during the 34th Annual Kennedy Center Honors back in 2011.

The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual event that recognizes American performing artists for their lifetime contributions to American culture.

The song “Hello Again” was featured in the film “The Jazz Singer,” when Diamond sang a heartfelt version of the song during a very emotional scene of the movie.

The film is an adaptation of the play of the same name by Samson Raphaelson and it included several songs by Diamond.

The song became a hit and at the peak of its success, it reached the number six spot on the Billboard Hot 100, and number three spot on the Adult Contemporary charts.
