Top 100 - Cherry Cherry, Neil Diamond # 57





Story by Julia



I love the entire Hot August Nights album, especially on vinyl, but you said I had to pick one song so Cherry Cherry it is. This song never fails to make me HAPPY and DANCEY. Yes, all caps.

The jangly guitars, hand claps, whooping men, keyboard solos, a growly Neil, the ever-present tambourine, the cover art. Neil has been part of many of my favorite memories: a long time companion on car trips, weddings, drunken evenings spent listening to records with friends, the apartment in Turner, slow dancing with the other Hargner at home just cos WE DO WHATEVER WE WANT TO.

Those jangly guitars are just the best.
