“America” – Neil Diamond (lyric video)
[media=https://youtu.be/FkzbPWODQSk]
“America” is a stirring anthem written and recorded by Neil Diamond for the 1980 film, The Jazz Singer. The song honors the many immigrants who left their home countries to seek a better life in the U.S.
Diamond’s inspiration for “America” was the experience of his immigrant grandparents, who emigrated from Eastern Europe in the early 1900s and settled in Brooklyn, New York.
The recording was released as a single in 1981. It reached #1 on the US Adult Contemporary chart and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
I created the video posted here and used the longer, soundtrack album version of the song.
