In September 1991, Neil Diamond made his debut on 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.' This appearance was significant, showcasing Diamond at a pivotal moment in his career. At this time, he had just released the album 'Up on the Roof: Songs from the Brill Building' earlier that year, which featured some of his renditions of classic songs from the legendary Brill Building era. Famous for his emotional songwriting and powerful stage presence, this live performance marked a comeback of sorts after a period of fluctuating mainstream popularity.
