What are your favourite records by John Denver, Neil Diamond and Tom Jones (if any) ?

[WildRosie]

I'm in an Easy Listening/AOR/MOR mood tonite...

JD - Calypso
ND - tie between The Last Thing On My Mind and I've Been This Way Before
TJ - The Green, Green Grass of Home

I'm also showing my age but I don't mind.

Oh actually I do like Help Yourself.

plenty more artists....i love country..... love keith urban/carrie underwood 'the fighter'...really love that song

Can someone make a Spotify playlist of all this and just post a link? G'waaaaan

Sunshine JD
America ND - and Amy and Howard is my favourite version
Help Yourself TD

Glenn Campbell’s Wichita Lineman is sublime and one of my all time favourites.

TJ not TD.

JD- Leaving On a Jet Plane
ND- Solitary Man
TJ- Just Help Yourself

Ok. --
John Denver - Country Roads -- a classic.
Neil Diamond - Solitary Man or I'm a Believer
Tom Jones - . Kiss
And one by Glen Campbell - Galveston (about the Vietnam War)

If you want Glen Campbell in here too, who am I to say no ? I love By The Time I Get To Phoenix and Wichita Lineman, both top Jimmy Webb songs.

Simon and Garfunkel - Take me to the Mardi Gras.
(Not sure if that's just PS though)
For S and G it's gotta be The Boxer.
Paul Simon again, (a more recent one) - Wristband.

ND has to be Sweet Caroline, such memories of the kids at Dd's school all singing it in assembly and on the school bus.

JD Country roads For the same reason.

TJ Whats new Pussycat, for my childhood singing with my friends.

I'm sticking Englebert in, Release Me obviously Words and Man Without Love.

What's New Pussy Cat - Tom Jones
Forever in Blue Jeans - Neil Diamond
Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver

More with great memories
Don Maclane, American Pie.
The Eagles, Hotel California.

JD - Annie's Song
ND - September Morn
TJ - The Boy from Nowhere

glen campbell ... rhinestone cowboy and, gentle on my mind

GC- Wichita Lineman for me too
JD- Country Roads
ND- bloody everything but if I had to pick a couple: September Morn, Coldwater Morning, Love on the Rocks. Oh, and his version of He Ain't Heavy, he's my brother blows the socks off The Hollies version.
Tom Jones- not a huge fan, probably Boy From Nowhere or Green green grass of home.

For JD fans.
Someone sent me this today (it made me laugh anyway)

John Denver - Calypso (love it), Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline, Tom Jones's - anything, but live Delilah. GC - Rhinestone Cowboy.

JD- Looking for Space. I'm looking for space all the time right now. Wild Montana Skies is my usual favourite. I sing my heart out.
ND- Girl, you'll be a woman soon, reminds me of uni days and Pulp Fiction
TJ- It's not unusual or Baby it's cold outside with Cerys Matthews.

@PuppyMonkey

Sunshine by John Denver almost always makes me cry.

Oh me too, it's beautiful!

Was it JD or Glenn Campbell who did Witchita Line Man? Makes me sad in a good way.

Can't abide Tom Jones and his showy voice

Love a bit of Neil Diamond tho.

TJ ‘with these hands’ sang it on the Voice

Neil Diamond - that kind, love on the rocks, September morn, song sung blue (and pretty much everything else he's sung !)
John Denver - Calypso, country roads, leaving on a jet plane (although I prefer Peter, Paul and Mary's version)
Tom Jones - not such a fan, but probably it's not unusual or green green grass of home

Can i add my absolute favourite singer - Scott Walker?
Beautiful man, beautiful voice. And a baritone too.
'No Regrets' sends shivers through me.

actually Abba's 'the winner takes it all' makes me bawl....
