Before Neil starts to sing, the camera slowly passes over several framed photographs of loved ones prominently displayed on a piano. The room, bright with Christmas decorations, is a testament to Neil’s many years of performing. There’s a framed poster of a much younger Neil performing with the star quality that drew a legion of dedicated fans. A guitar collection hangs on the wall, testifying to all of the beautiful music he’s created for the world.
Neil Diamond is dressed quietly, a stark contrast to the flashier clothes you may have seen him wear on stage. His voice, however, is instantly familiar. He sings from the heart, with the passion that has made him a part of our lives for five decades.
Behind him is a small group of seated instrumentalists. Neil stands alone with a microphone, singing this touching and beautiful tribute to Christmas memories. You’ll find “Christmas Prayers” on his recently-released album “Acoustic Christmas.”
