“Brooklyn Roads” #58 6/1/1968

An autobiographical tune from Neil Diamond, and his first single for the Uni label (later known as MCA Records) after his rancorous split from Bert Berns and BANG Records. Diamond found a loophole to get out of his contract, or so he thought. Although Berns died in December 1967 at the age of 38, his estate kept Neil awash in lawsuits for another decade. Diamond’s career suffered for a time as a result.
