Diamond, whose songs have been recorded by everyone from to Elvis Presley, also sat down with AOL for a candid interview in which he revealed everything from the first song that ever blew him away to why he avoids listening to contemporary artists. He also gave AOL an inside look at the creation of two of his career defining songs. About the 1966 single 'Solitary Man,' Diamond offered, "When I wrote it, it was just another song.
I didn't think 'Solitary Man' had anything to do with me, but it turns out that it has a lot to do with me. It became something that represented who I was, and I accept that now." "'Sweet Caroline' is just about the simplest song I've written and it's probably the most universal song I've written," Diamond continued.
"I've heard it all over the world. It didn't take very long to write . .
. and it may be my best song ever.' The exclusive AOL Sessions and interview with will premiere Friday, December 22, and will be available for free and on-demand for viewing anytime at AOL (www.
