“Cracklin’ Rosie” #1 10/10/1970

Neil Diamond had written #1 songs for others (i.e., “I’m A Believer”) but this was his first chart-topper as a performer. The story goes that he was in western Canada and heard about a tribe of indigenous people who enjoyed a brand of cheap wine called Crackling Rosé. I suppose that worked better as a song title than Mad Dog 20/20 or Boone’s Farm. Music by the Wrecking Crew. I think the video is from Dutch TV.
