Sunday Music: Holly Holy

Neil Diamond, who reportedly was once flunked out of Music Appreciation, cranked this Top Ten hit out at age 28, the 4th hit in a career spawning 38 Top Tens and 16 Number One singles, and selling 130 million records in a five decade career. Out of 75+ albums since 1969, they're all gold or platinum, some of them triple platinum. He was still singing this song with gusto at age 71 to a packed house live at the Greek Theatre for Hot August Night III, a few years before a diagnosis of Parkinson's brought a halt to his touring.
