Hot August Night 1972 - Age: 31 "He knocked them dead. One of the greatest albums ever made. Neil came through a cloud of smoke and the audience just exploded. It was the first time I saw him confident on stage. That was chemistry. Hot August Night was the big turning point. That magnetism that people think of with Neil Diamond was born on that night." - Lee Holdridge - Composer and conductor collaborated with Neil Diamond on the film score for Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Website: http://www.leeholdridge.com/biography/ "The human voice is the most important instrument at our disposal, yet it is one of the most difficult to understand or define. You either hear it or you don't. It either moves you, or it leaves you cold... it is more than just a sound... it is the soul itself." -- Neil Diamond 1974. "The 30-piece orchestra with conductor and composer Lee Holdridge behind him. The strings were magical and it was the most entertaining concert I have ever been to. I went to see him 3 times that week and, to this day, I can't forget how fantastic he sounded." - Bonnie Schultz Special thanks to TV Channel 9 - 60 Minutes Australia, for the segment - Extra Minutes.
