May 27, 200718 yr the monkees 'a little bit me, a little bit you' was a re-working of composer neil diamonds 'flop' from a year before 'cherry cherry'.. its the same track, slightly altered and differing lyrics. a great track though... both versions!

May 28, 200718 yr pity he couldnt transfer his writing talent into his own material.. i really didnt rate his uk hits at all.. but his uk non hits from the mid 60's, and things he wrote for others were good 'solitary man' was a splendid track, as was 'cherry cherry' and 'girl youll be a woman soon'
May 28, 200718 yr His 60's Bang/Stateside stuff is amazing. I'm A Believer, A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You, Thank The Lord For The Night Time, The Long Way Home, Kentucky Woman, I Got The Feeling, Red Red Wine, Shilo and the songs you mentioned were pop classics all produced by Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. Check out the Classics CD on Sony for all these and more. F3RjJYaZI0o Neil Diamond-Kentucky Woman
May 28, 200718 yr dont you know lulu 'the boat that i row'?.. or not like it? i think its a great little popsong! I don't like it because I think it was unforgivable of Mickey Most to keep To Sir With Love as the B-side. That US #1 hit single is the reason that such a staggeringly poor Neil Diamond song went Top10 in the UK for Lulu.
May 28, 200718 yr UK Top 40 weekending 25th May 1967 2 (9) Waterloo Sunset – The Kinks 3 (2) Dedicated To The One I Love – Mamas & Papas 6 (4) Pictures Of Lily – The Who 9 (15) The Wind Cries Mary – Jimi Hendrix 15 (17) Sweet Soul Music – Arthur Conley 16 (10) Purple Haze – Jimi Hendrix Experience 18 (11) A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You – The Monkees 20 (13) I Can Hear The Grass Grow – The Move 21 (New) A Whiter Shade Of Pale – Procul Harem 23 (30) First Cut Is The Deepest – PP Arnold 26 (19) Happy Together – The Turtles 32 (22) Knock On Wood – Eddie Floyd Some top tunes there. Waterloo Sunset is in my all time fave songs. Sweet Soul Music is definitely an underrated track. Which one of The Move's songs was the first track to be played on Radio 1. Was it I Can Hear the Grass Grow?
May 28, 200718 yr Boat That I Row :) written by Neil Diamond as well. Talk about credibility :D http://www.impawards.com/2001/posters/saving_silverman.jpg well after his starring role in this film he must have about no cred now :lol: :lol:
May 28, 200718 yr Which one of The Move's songs was the first track to be played on Radio 1. Was it I Can Hear the Grass Grow? 'flowers in the rain'... :)
