"Sweet Caroline," Neil Diamond's most iconic song was released on all major streaming platforms as the third single from the forthcoming Original Broadway Cast Recording of A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical.

"Sweet Caroline" continues to capture the hearts of fans across generations and continents. It was a notable part of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee this summer. In May 2021, Jennifer Lopez famously covered the song for a global audience, and this week two-time heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury announced he was releasing his recording of the song as a charity single, and it is played regularly at countless sports arenas across the globe. The song has been covered by countless artists including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and The Dave Matthews Band. To date it has been streamed over 500 million times on Spotify alone.

With his first break into songwriting in the 1960s and his meteoric rise in the 1970s, and plenty of crushing disappointments and heart-stopping triumphs along the way, Neil Diamond has maintained an almost unthinkable level of superstardom for five straight decades. How did a poor Jewish kid from Brooklyn become one of the most universally adored showmen of all time? There's only one way to tell it: a musical set to his era-defining smash hits that entranced the world.

Throughout his phenomenal and wide-ranging career, Neil Diamond has performed at sold-out stadiums and arenas around the world, dominated the charts for more than five decades, sold over 130 million albums worldwide and achieved record sales.

A Grammy Award-winning artist, Diamond is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has been presented with the Johnny Mercer Award, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award, three of the highest honors bestowed on songwriters and artists. He has also been the recipient of the NARAS Music Cares Person of The Year Award and the prestigious Kennedy Center Award for his contributions to American culture.

His music has earned him a multi-generational fanbase and he is a believer of the healing power of music. Through his charitable foundation, he has supported many causes close to his heart.
