Neil Diamond

In December 2016, Neil Diamond performed a Christmas medley on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' showcasing a festive side of the legendary artist. Just prior to this memorable live recording, Diamond released 'Acoustic Christmas' in 2016, an album that reflects his foray into more introspective and stripped-down renditions of classic holiday tunes. This release came after a remarkable career spanning over five decades, during which he transformed from a teen pop sensation to an influential singer-songwriter. Interestingly, Diamond, who didn't celebrate Christmas growing up, expressed how performing these tunes gave him a chance to embrace and reinterpret the holiday spirit. It’s a testament to his adaptability and creative spirit, making this performance not just a showcase of talent, but a personal journey as well.
