Neil Diamond At His Best!
“The Jazz Singer” released on 1980 was a remake of the 1927 classic drama film. It starred Neil Diamond and the soundtrack was a huge hit! It became certified multi-platinum and considered as one of Neil’s most successful albums. Though the film itself didn’t receive that much positive reviews from critics, the album earned several praises:
Allmusic critic Johnny Loftus considers it Diamond’s “signature late-career ballad.” Author T. Mike Childs rated it as a “terrific” ballad. Movie reviewer Joe Peacock described “Hello Again” as being “keenly affecting to the emotions.”
- Number 6 in the Billboard Hot 100

The slow ballad also received nominations and awards aside from topping the charts.
